    Strange but true....

    Here in DC I've been mistaken for AL Gore two times. Another time it happened in Buffalo. Another time it happened in LA at the Century plaza Hotel in Beverly Hills. I don't think I look like him at all...and I know I don't wear that much makeup. Go Figure...Strange but true....

    Also, from behind one person thought I was Danny Ainge, which made me sick, but it happened. No kidding. This one I could undertsand because he's got a generic look.

    I'm wondering if you've ever been mistaken for anyone....

    Someone once thought I was Richard Chamberlain once. She said I looked like he did in The Three Musketeers.

    I've been mistaken for Bill Murray before and I'm 17 years old !!

    I didn't think it was funny.

    I've been mistaken for Tom Hanks quite a few times-- especially when he made Big. Kids would come up to me in the grocery store, etc thinking I was he. Didn't sign any autographs though....

    A year or two ago, I was mistaken for DJ Scribble. If you're not familar with him, he's a DJ on MTV. Almost a year later, some older lady came up to me, thinking I was Keanu Reeves. Not too shabby! [​IMG]

    I've been mistaken for James Hetfield from Metallica on a number of occassions. It was mainly the long hair and facial hair which, thankfully, has changed for both of us.

    I thought I heard someone call me "Skinner" once, but they might have been saying skim milk.

    I go around telling people that I'm famous even though I am not (I used to have a bio up on my personal webpage that said I was once a member of Menudo. I didn't really think anyone would believe it. I took it down when my Dad complained).

    A while ago I was mistaken for a guy who robbed a 7-11. The cops took me in and everything. Until they found out that I didn't do it.
    That was very scary , now that I look back on it.

    After all the stories I've read about where an innocent man was convicted of such crimes, I'd have been panicked the whole time.

    How, exactly, did they find out that you didn't do it?
