no no no. Eddie doesn't have *anything* on our DEANBCURTIS. I mean, the skin comparison is a downright insutl. Eddie is lucky to be compared our DBC!!
I am sadly one of those people who other people always feel the need to say " Hey, do you know you look like _______?" The worst part is that my mother and her husband will call after whatever movie they're watching to say that there was someone in the movie that "looked exactly like you!"...I am awaiting the day they call to say I look like Denzel or Susan Sarandon... Anyways, it's Friday night, I'm already a little worse for tequila, and ony my way out, ( please don't become alarmed about my recent bouts with booze...I will literally go months without getting drunk.) Most of the people I am told I look like are from a while back, and it's usually specific movies that people mention. From nowadays, I get Pitt, but only in A River Runs Through It, Ralph Fiennes in English Patient, the gay guy in Clueless, sadly Leo...I think Jude Law, but whenever I mention that to people, they say ? Uh...yeah...sort of..." in a way that clearly indicates the feeling is not mutual. In the late 90's I got Jason Priestly a lot... But the ones I get mostly are Paul Newman in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, Roger Moore in his Saint days, Redford in a couple of things, and by far the one I get the most, from guys and girls, to the point where it is what I expect when people start the " Hey, do you know you look like..." thing is James Dean. And I once saw this picture of Richard Burton, of all people, when he was very young, and I and the people I was with thought it was an eerie similarity. AB, if you have that quality Orlando Jones has, where you want to laugh even before he speaks, you have a great career ahead of you...And i have to say that, based on this thread, there are many rather good looking people in this site...Who'd a thunk it?
No Mickey Rooney? 15 more points if anyone gets the movie in which MR did a terribly racist portrayal of an Eastern Asian gentleman...just awful.
Well, I'd offer those pics you've been asking for, but my roomies tell me I need something called a scanner. One of them has one, but I haven't worked up the courage to ask them to use it to download pictures of myself... ..Besides, based on the pics of 'Jeff'-like folks in this thread, , I am sooooo not your type. But you do get a prize, within reason...what would you like? Also...wasn't that Rooney performance unbelievable? I mean, the kind of thing that should, by all rights, ruin your career?
Well, I have to say I was never a Rooney fan to begin with. So that performance was just the spoiled icing on an already stale cake. I'm not sure who decided that if a white man squinted real hard and wore buck teeth he could pass for Asian, but hopefully they received their comeuppance. As for my prize, I would feel dishonorable accepting anything since it was such a girl-skewed question on a 99% male board. I definitely had an unfair advantage.
I had this former girfriend, ( who oddly enough moved to texas to be a buyer for Nehman-Markus ) who was obsessed with that movie. She was an amazing lady, and probably the only ex I could have ever stayed friends with, but it ended on a semi-odd note...She had loads of cash, and at the time I had just gotten out of the fashion world, and all it's inherent evils, including cash, and was a more typical struggling writer/actor...and she wanted to have me move with her to Texas for a short while, and then on to NYC where she would support me while I wrote...now you have seen Breakfast at Tiffany's, so you will note the, er, coincidental side to her vision of our future happiness. I decided against it, but I still think of her often...she was, as they say, a lady in every sense of the word. Oh...and if you really look like a prettier version of Kristen Davis, and are as cool as you seem, I may indeed have to revise my qualifier on the whole crush thing... I am drunk, and in vino veritas...
These are just the recent ones I've heard: Jackie Gleason The Elephant Man Albert Schweitzer Bronko Nagurski Goober Pyle Dustin Hoffman (in Rainman) Quasimodo that's all I can think of.... oh, and Babe Ruth! One more: Larry Bird.
Your barb is too subtle for me, I'm afraid...as drunk as I am, I miss your intended point, and am left only with some lame joke implying that the people I am told I look like are dissimilar ( which I disagree with) and not grotesquely unattractive ( which I do not apologize for, but do disagree with regarding some)...Clearly if I was less drunk and/or more intelligent, I would get your deeper, less crass shot at my post...
MacBeth: haven't spoken to you much, but I understand the whole "You look like ______." 1990: (of course 90210 was the thing, but I also weighed around 170) I was the Luke Perry. (I had teenage girls stopping me in malls, but I digress) !994-present: James Garner is the most popular, but changed significantly when I grew my hair out or cut it way short. Also: Mickey Dolenz Quentin Tarentino (ugh) Matt Dillon Ben Affleck (again ugh) Can't even think of the other's. Just have always got a lot of "you know who you look like?" myself. Still not the worst place to be, however.
