Who have you been told you look like?

I used to hear Dan Aykroyd when I was younger. Now that I’m bald, I hear Billy Joel a lot. When we went to see him in concert at the Pond in Anaheim, I had a lot of people coming up to me and telling me that. And they always say it like it’s a compliment. But I don’t find him particularly good looking.

After every gig, I hear I look like Tony Iommi, the guitarist for Black Sabbath. I’m in a Sabbath tribute band, so I’m going for that look. I also hear I look like Frank Zappa a lot because of this goatee. Usually it’s drummers that tell me that. If I didn’t have the goatee, I’m guessing I’d never hear that comparison.

I often get told I look like Scott Ian of Anthrax, even though my goatee isn’t nearly as long as his. In fact, I get told I look like a lot of bass players from heavy-metal bands. Someone will sometimes come up and not even be sure which band. They’ll just say, “You look like a bass player.” I ask them which bassist, and they’ll say, “I don’t know. All of them.” I’m not sure, but maybe a lot of bass players are bald.

Well, you just told me I looked like Courtney Cox. I don’t usually hear that. I’ve heard Sandra Bullock, which I don’t see. She has brown eyes. I used to get Jennifer…oh, what’s her name…Jennifer Connelly. I got that one often. I’m lucky because those are attractive women. Sometimes when people say you look like someone else it’s not a good thing.

I used to get told Barbra Streisand a lot. Over the years, I’ve probably heard that about 20 times. It doesn’t bother me. Her and Cher are my idols, so it was always nice to hear.

I get told every now and then that I look like Michael J. Fox. That’s when I shave my face. And, I don’t think they really mean that I look like Michael J. Fox as much as they think I look like [his character in] Teen Wolf. You probably can’t see it now, but it’s the one celebrity I hear.
