I do a passable "jesus" impersonation, and I've been mistaken for Chad from NickleBack on more than one occasion to say the least.

Also once got mistaken for Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. To be honest, I think she was fairly hammered when she asked me though

I've been called Dougal as recently as two days ago and it wasn't the first time. (It wasn't for his simple mentality either before the smart comments start coming : ) )

Also a few years ago I grew a goatee and a little girl came running up to me asking me if I was Bepe from Eastenders (I didn't even know who he was at the time!). I duly told her I was and signed an autograph for her which made her day :cool:

Well, I was supposed to look like Haley Joel Osment (kid from the 6th sense), as many of you boardsters will probably still persist, but just last night, 2 or 3 people came to the consensus that I was the spit of Sean Bean (006 from goldeneye, Baromir from lotr). So I dont know anymore, maybe I've changed.

In dNC circles, I'm supposed to look like K-Sharp too, (fancy American pro CS/Quake player). And on that subject, I met two other guys last night, one the spit of HeatoN, and one the doppelganger of our very own Jag.

I can see the Stephen Fry comparison, but its in your facial expression rather than looks.

Personally, no one.

In fairness, rich... You're the absolute spit of Tony Robinson.

And Bard is a complete dead-ringer for Jeffrey Combs.

Ben Elton or so I'm told.

That's not really a good thing, especially when I go into a "social democracy is good and Milton Friedman is an ass" rant while being sarcastic. Then I sound like Ben Elton.
