Musical Look-Alikes
No question: Look-alikes make for really cheap humor. But after ten years of enduring an almost daily barrage of strangers telling me I'm a dead ringer for a certain fictional British wizard, I like to think I've earned it. So here we go with a few favorites from the world of music...
Vicente Fernández ("The King of Ranchera") and Burt Reynolds
Enya and Winona Ryder
Meatloaf and operatic bass-baritone Bryn Terfel
Leonard Cohen and Leonard Nimoy
Bette Midler and Sarah Jessica Parker
Susan Boyle and Julia Child
Keith Richards and J.P. Patches
Selena Gomez and Clarice Starling
Michael Stipe and Gollum
Brad Paisley and my brother Sam
And finally, a recent favorite from the music archives at TotallyLooksLike.com...
Adam Lambert and Liza Minnelli
Thanks to my fellow bloggers Robert Arambel, Jon Foro, and Hugo Munday for suggestions...

Wow, he really does look like Harry Potter!

I agree with the author's mom and think photos of the author and his wizard doppelganger should be released to the readers of this blog post-haste.

The Author's mom? - Really? That's so complete, I love it.

Fantastic! Only one thing missing...you definitely should have included pics of the fictional British wizard and author of this photographic comparison. Now, that would have made it complete...
Am I a lucky Mom or what? Two sons who just happen to be physiological ringers for some of the famous and maybe infamous? Cash in, my man, cash in...!
