Well, I have!! Some little kids once mistook me for Harry Potter. Hehe, if I grow a long Ian Anderson-style beard and walk around with a staff when I get old and grey-haried, the same people will probably mistake me for Gandalf.....

Any of you have similar stories??

Most people I meet think I'm God.

I once had a conversation with a fictional character (see my post in the "drunken experience" thread).

Well, judging by the number of times I've been called Evil some people seem to belief thatr I am Lucifer. :twisted:

BTW what excatly did Lucifer do to qualify himself to be considered the ultimate evil in the christian mythos?

My cousin often gets comments that he looks like Jesus.

Me? Silent Bob, but not as much.

I've had silent bob too...but it depends on how I have my hair and if I've my beard in similar to his.....
I've also once been accused of looking like Marcus Cole from B5...but thats probably just cause I'm british with long dark hair and a beard and can use a quarterstaff....

People keep telling me I look like Sherlock Holmes. Those of you who know what I look like know how wrong they are.

Someone once told me I looked like the guy in Blade1 that gets his arm cut off. Cant remember his name, Frost's errand boy. The guy that gets his ass kicked like 7 times in the movie.

I was just like..... umm thanks.

Course that guy does have 2 chicks on him during one scene, maybe not all bad lol.

I've never been mistaken for a fictional character.

My brother did manage to traumatize a theater full of wee Harry Potter fans, there was a kid that looked like Harry Potter who worked with him. So they faked beating him up in front of the kids (blood packets and such) and had the kid lay there.

He said he was prettier than God, so God kicked him out.

As have many other people, I've been mistaken for Jesus. I wonder why so many people have been mistaken for Jesus?

I've never been mistaken for anyone fictional, but some have called me Jonathan Davis. That's the closest.

On that note, Dalton reminds me of Wayne Static a little.

'Cause people never really know if they're going to just be at the gas station or the mall and *BAM!*, run right into Christ himself, out with family and friends shopping or buying stuff, y'know? :P

I'm told I bear a striking resemblance to Alfred E. Neuman

Jesus saves...by shopping carefully and using double coupons.

I found Jesus!

He was behind the couch the whole time!

Well, my name on this is Superman because people often call me that.

I am 6'3', a body builder, my hair is black and sort of long, and I have a chisled jaw :? . I was not originally going for the look, but it sort of stuck and now it's fun.
