How often are you mistaken for some one else ?

I've had a few think I was Trace Adkins ,,,, or Alan Jackson ,,,, usually if someone starts talking to me and they think they know me , I ask them if they've got that 100 bucks I loaned them ,, that usually stops the conversation .

 

I get confused with a Local Leo here, and have in the past as well with others. There is or was a guy that lived here that actually looked allot like me and we ran into each other and it was kinda weird. But I am also 6'4" and have always been between 225 and 260 so that may be it as well as they see the tall man and assume I am he. I am sure little people get that too.

 

I get confused with someone that gives a crap..

Seriously, I have had folks tell me I resemble a father, brother, or even a friend...

 

I get confused with our hospitals dispatch guy with the same first name. People are so excited to finally meet the guy who answers calls about maintenance issues.

I let them down easy and tell them he's the Better Chris, but still an old, fat, bald, guy with a country drawl. Thus understandable.

 

This dude back in the 90's

 

Damn and I didn't think anyone would recognize me with the wig and dress on!

 

There used to be a guy in town who was close enough of a resemblance that women would approach me and ask "How's Jeanie?" I had no idea who Jeanie was, but it took a while to convince them that I really wasn't Jeanie's husband.

More often I get the "You look just like...." line. Once it was Woody Harrelson, and I had three women ooohing and aaahing about that. I said, "Oh, Woody Harrelson from Cheers." They all said "No... Natural Born Killers."

Nowadays I look more like Robin Williams when he came back out of the game in Jumanji.

 

I get mistaken for a silly Hollywood actor a lot when I'm out and about. I don' see the resemblance but apparently a lot of women do and it's a bit disconcerting, told them to check out my picture down at the Post Office.

 

I was once mistaken for Chris Elliot from Late Night With David Letterman. It was in Reno and the gal might have been under the influence. I know I was.

 

Somme good stories here thanks .

 

Sister says actully she had same first & last name (slight dif spelling on first as mine is a bit unusual)

 

Mistaken identity is real.

I ran across a women working in the local Exchange who was a dead ringer for Paula Prentice.

I honesty thought is was some kind of Candid Camera stunt.

The woman didn't know who Paula was..... My DW rode my ass for a week over my mistake....


for those that also have never seen Paula

 

I meet doubles here in my town all the time I usually ask if they have look alike siblings working at another job but they don't.
We actually do have a few twins the do run around together , and I enjoy the opportunity to meet them if I can. .
As a kid in high school I did a lot of drawing and mostly faces, so as the years went by I see some of those faces again and again as well .

 

People often confuse me with being Chester A. Arthur.... Yeah look him up and that's me.

 

Uh oh. I’m ashamed of myself now. US History wasn’t my best subject.
