    Maybe I'm missing the point - why are the names all switched?

    Are you talking "related" or "look like".

          Jose, thanks for joining in!

          Piers and Andy certainly have a lot in common: both from good old Blighty and both 'straight talkers'.

          I thought about look-a-likes for the ladies... but I'm a bit too scared!

          Maybe I'll pluck up the courage one day soon.

              Paul Myers has always reminded me of the poker player Chris
              Ferguson. You can find a pic of Paul on his TalkBizNews site.

              I went looking for some images of Chris Ferguson to add to
              this thread, but I couldn't find one with a pose that matches
              Paul's pic. Too bad.

                I thought exactly the same thing John, I just figured that a lot of people wouldn't know who Chris Ferguson was.

                        Peter, number 2 is Ferguson, and man is that such a perfect likeness.

                        Sally Kellerman is someone I never thought about for HeySal but they really do resemble each other. Margaret Houlihan from M.A.S.H. ... that's who I saw when I looked at HeySal's photo.

                        EDIT: I just realized that Sally Kellerman is Margaret Houlihan... lol. I thought the picture you put up... was that actress from the Rodney Dangerfield movie... Back To School. Not sure what her name is.

                        SECOND EDIT: LOL... I also realized that had I just read your post... you even talked about 'hot lips' and M.A.S.H. DOH!

                          Paul Daniels and Yoda seem strangely similar
                          apart from skin colour, talents, skills, popularity etc.

                      Jenn, you definitely remind me of someone from TV or the movies but I can't seem to put my finger on who yet. It will come to me though.

                          Hey Peter,

                          Just realized that much of my confusion is because the whole time I was thinking that HeySal looked like Loretta Swit. Hot Lips from the TV series... but I couldn't remember her name.

                          Next time, I think I'll slow down a bit an actually read what has been posted.

                                This evening has a Scottish flavour to it. Both these guys reside in this wonderful country. One's pretty famous and the other one used to manage the Scottish National Footy (soccer) side.

    It's been nearly a week so here's another one:


    ....Mike...........Greg
    ...Gatting......Cooksley


    For those that don't know, or can't remember, Mike Gatting was England Cricket Captain in the 1980s


    Peter

    Oh, here's another one as well...



    That's Col. Sanders doing his best Elmer Hurlstone impersonation.

      Well it's been a while since, but I think you'll really like this one.

      Who's the Warrior Forum's Super Sleuth? Who is it that cracks the case while we're all stumbling around looking for clues and eating scooby snacks? Oops! I gave away a clue...

      Kim, he's an English guy that had a great deal of success in the 80s. He had prime-time TV shows and was probably on the 'A' list of celebrities. He's reduced to doing ropey TV commercials now and there's a whole generation who's probably asking, "Who the heck is that?"

      BTW He had a 'catch phrase of, "Not a lot!" don't know why, but there it is and hence my reference to it in my previous post.:p

          If you guys have ever watched Takeshi's Castle on Pogo (yeah...I haven't grown up yet!), you would see a young Kevin Riley playing the Animal, one of the Royal Guards. I couldn't find his pic on Google but I am pretty sure its him. And the show was based in Japan, all the more reason to believe

    Well done, folks!

    This thread IS worth revitalising - I enjoy reading it as much as participating.

    Lots of different folks on here since I started it and a whole heap of them not using a picture of themselves - far too many meaningless logos.

    Quite a few people remind me of my neighbours or guys I went to school with - but I don't think that'd be too funny!!

    Can you imagine, yeah, this is Jason Moffatt, he looks a lot like Mike Walling who used to own the garage round the corner from me! Nah, wouldn't work.

    While I'm working on some new ones, anyone remember this little eye-drying montage I made? See if you can spot yourself.

      Thanks Brian you are the third or fourth person that has mentioned that I look like a decendant of Frank Zappa... however you are the first that has solidified it with the obvious similarities in the pic you posted

        Hi,

        Am I allowed to take the p*** out of myself?

        Not sure if I've found the best pics to show the resemblance, or whether there really is one, but when I was in Australia, it was a regular occurrence for people to shout 'Vinnie' at me.





        Mainly the eyebrows and being 6'4"?

      and more! Of course this was all in different times of my life.
