Celebrity look a-likes

Over the weekend I ventured down to a little place I (and the rest of the world) like to call Waterford, Ohio for a good old fashioned family reunion. Bordering West Virginia, Waterford, Ohio is about as midwestern country as you can get. Needless to say, there wasn't a whole heck of a lot to do out there, and the weekend primarily consisted of sitting around, talking and EATING.

At some point over the course of the weekend, my cousin boldly decided to enter uncharted waters by proclaiming a "remarkable resemblance" between my dad, and the late Mister Rogers.

Now, I won't go as far as to say that this look a-like is uncanny...and I as a TV watching kid, I certainly never thought it was my father carrying on conversations with the likes of Henrietta or King Friday, but never the less, it is there. What's more, this isn't the first time Neil T. has been compared to our televised neighborhood friend. Several individuals have brought this notion to my dad's attention, from a coworker (who has now taken to actually calling him "Mister Rogers"), to a family friend, to a car full of girls at a stop light who thought he actually was MR, reincarnated.


Personally, I am more struck by this likeness. My friend Ty Bradley (pictured in the cowboy hat) is a dead ringer for actor Bradley Cooper (you may know him as the asshole boyfriend in Wedding Crashers). Hell, they even share part of a name.

In Wedding Crashers, Cooper's grooming was much more clean cut, making the resemblance even more striking. I swear, I almost had a seizure in the theater when I first saw it.
