When I was younger, I used to be told that I looked like a Greta Garbo type.

Here's a pic of yours truly chilling with Lou and David Bowie...Daynet with her pals

Chopped?

Does this mean I'm a winner? Or is Idris the winner? Maybe he saw me in a crowd somewhere during his pre-fame days and said to himself, "Now that is the guy whose looks could really boost my career. I'll snap a pic of him and send it to my plastic surgeon so he knows what I'm going for ... "

JK.

Seriously I don't think I've ever seen a single one of his movies. Had no idea who he was until people started telling me I look like him. Maybe he's my brother from another mother??

Unfortunately I did not get his snazzy British accent, though.

I don't know.

British actress Pamela Franklin. This was in the 60's when I was visiting Ireland and this guy at our B&B kept staring at me. I thought maybe he was being flirtatious, but the next day he told me why. I was all excited -- I looked like a famous (in the UK) actress! There was no google back then but eventually I saw her picture. I definitely could see the resemblance, and I was not really thrilled.

I remember her in an early episode of "The 6M$ Man" (not in the original broadcast but I have the series) and "The Legend of Hell House"......................the book was much better.

I'd like to say I look like Helen Hunt.

Although it'd probably be more accurate to say Linda Hunt.

10 years ago, with no beard, I got Tobey Maguire (you look just like Spiderman!) a lot. Now with a beard...not so much.

I am told all the time that I look like Jennifer Garner. I think it's the dimples and face shape (and big forehead!)
