In that case people would also have once said that you looked like Kevin Bacon. Am I right?

The one I've gotten the most is Gargamel from The Smurfs. I can't say that I'm flattered.

lmfao,

It's never good to be compared to a cartoon,

I get the good stuff though,

Goku from dragon ball Z.

THat's pretty tight. Kids see me as a hulking piece of kickass.

Wait till they see what I put on the latest ENglish test though... It'll go from GoKu to "asshole" pretty fast.

Being tall and skinny, I often get Pepero or Chopsticks. While it isn't a person, that is what they call me.

I've got the Nicolas Cage comment a few times. (Nose thing?)
At the bars I frequented when I dated my wife it was always Jim Carey. (nutcase?)
The last few schools I've worked at the teachers have said I look like Daniel Henny. (hairstyle?)
Fair spread there!

So far this year, only Nihcolas Cage and Tom Hanks.
They must see Mr Cage more than any other Holywood actor as he's married to a Korean.

Tom Petty indeed.

I've gotten Gil Grissom from CSI, even though he's about 25 years older than me. I've also gotten Beckham even though I have a good 40 pounds on him. I think the 'range of white people known to Koreans' is rather limited.

I don't really see much resemblance, but many Koreans do.
