You look just like...
At the age of 17, I was often told I looked like musician/singer Arlo Guthrie. He had an album out, performed at Woodstock Festival in 1969 and his father was also a famous folk singer. The truth is, I didn't know who he was until a few years later when I saw the album cover to Alice's Restaurant. Like a zillion kids, we were both skinny, had similar long hair, slender face and (the beginning of) bedroom eyes. I often wore a hat and so did Arlo.More than a generation later, my long curly locks looked a lot like Arlo, but that's about it. His nose hooked up at the end and his front teeth were much larger than mine.
I suppose if I grew my hair to the middle of my back again (yes again) someone somewhere would say... Wow, you look just like Arlo Guthrie. Okay... it's much better than having someone say I look like Alice Cooper!
Thanks for reading my blog...

The point is some have a chance to 'cash in' on lookalike fame.
There was a local guy who resembled comedian Eddy Murphy doing impersonation commercials on TV. He also hired out for grand openings to some local events. He was especially in demand after one of Eddie's movies hit the silver screen.
He lives in Florida and a few days ago I heard mention on the Classic Rock radio station that serves the area, he planned to make an appearance on a live show at the station. Many stations are syndicated and rebroadcast events through sister stations.
Possible?
