I've been told that I resemble Nick Nolte, and that my voice would be right for an FM radio DJ.

I look like Jon Hamm, only 20 years older.

I look in the mirror and see Brad Pitt, but people say I resemble Rip Torn/sound like Barney Fife.

I'm with you on that. A lot of people think I'm a cop as well and I do take bribes. :)

Anyone following the horrific events this week has no doubt heard the thick Boston accents. That's me and I talk fast. Some like it, many compare it to fingernails on a blackboard and many poke fun at it. When I was in the military I always seemed to be stationed in the deep South while stateside and tried to hide my accent just to be understood. You Southern boys don't think you have an accent?

When I played in Vegas full time I tried to hide it to blend in better. Now I just go with it.

Leslie Nielsen. While he was still alive of course ;-)

Many people have remarked that I should be in radio or announcing; guess it's the Don Pardo voice, but I think the slight Bahstin accent would prevent me making the cut.

I've been told more times than I can count that I look like Elvis. Maybe I need to go to Vegas as a impersonator. That's exactly whatvegas needs another fake Elvis.

When he had the 9-11 movie out, I got told I look like Michael Moore.

Now I get told I look like the 'French Model' in the (State Farm?) commercial. To that, I respond "Bone jire" - like in a real stupid non-French accent.

When I used to play poker a few years ago I would get people telling me I looked like the baseball pitcher Greg Maddux. He is about 18 years older than me though

I've gotten Ben Affleck, but then other people have said I don't look anything like Ben Affleck. I've been told by a good many people that I look like a, "Mike," but my name is not Mike or anything close to Mike.

For two different periods in my life I had shoulder-length hair, and during those times I often was compared to Scott Stapp, lead singer of Creed.

When I have short hair, especially when it's spikey, I get Brendan Fraser.

Everyone thinks I'm Jewish. (I'm not). An elderly Jewish woman was completely confused and surprised when I told her I'm not a Jew.

I've been told I look like Eric Clapton. And also Trey Anastasio, the lead singer of Phish.

As for my voice, I can do an adequate immitation of Kermit and/or Ernie from Sesame Street.
