3. Orlando Bloom or Viggo Mortensen.
Of course, I'm a girl but think of the long intimate
conversations about hitting all the right notes anyway?

24. Kate Wislet maybe?
The only actress I can think of that looks something like me anyway. Over the years, I was told my face looks like a lot of people (the ones I can think of right now are Belinda Carlisle of the Go-Gos, Christy Brinkley, Priscilla Presley, and recently Natalie Maines), but none of them are really movie actresses, so I'll have to go with Kate Winslet, similar hair, ancestry, and body type.

she's the only semi-curvy type pale, blond WASPy looking actress I can think of. And I don't want to be President. Congress in another 20 years maybe, but never President.

I was Kirk's sidekick for a Halloween party. I found one young Judi Dench picture (but can't post it because she was topless), because I never would have thought that, but I can see it.

but I've had several people come up to me and ask me for an autograph thinking I was him...I don't get the resemblance either. As for Clay, he reminds me of Martin Short and I don't understand that connection either, but my grandparents always call me when he's on TV so they can tell me to watch because I look like him :shrug:

No, he doesn't look much like me, I just think he'd act like me better. Think "A Fish Called Wanda".

He'd have to do like De Niro did for "The Untouchables": eat like there's no tomorrow before shooting.

He's a bit old, but I've been told by many people (especially just after a haircut) that he looks like me.

I got told that mostly after Forrest Gump came out. Perhaps I shouldn't broadcast that.

Although I'm more Scot than Irish. And my nose was never broken. But the basic size, low voice, coloration and carriage is all there.
