How good are you at the "Who's that actor...you know the one..." game? Because I've got a tough one.
Edited on Sat Jul-10-10 03:59 PM by MorningGlow
I was on vacation in California (just got back) and visited L.A. for a day. In a Hollywood restaurant, we sat one booth over from a guy I'd swear is "famous". Looked really familiar (and, as usual, looked shorter and slighter than you'd expect). Trouble is, I can't for the life of me figure out who it is. The only way I can describe him that he looks like Liev Schreiber's younger brother. This is Liev:



The guy I saw had light brown/dark blonde curly hair but had similar facial features, especially the eyes.

Any guesses? :shrug: Help help it's driving me crazy! :crazy:

6. Hee hee
Srsly, no worries! I've created worse train wrecks by myself! :D

Honest, I can't even figure out if I've seen this guy in movies or on TV. He just simply looked familiar (plus he looked like he was expecting people to recognize him, although I didn't see anyone approach him).

I swear, I almost took a photo of my son in the restaurant just so I could get this guy in the background. Now I wish I had. x(

9. Not him, but did kinda also look like him
His hair looked like Shia's or Justin Timberlake's (but he was neither of them).

...Am I making it worse? :D

I would have recognized Shia. This guy's face was "broad" like Liev's and his eyes got squinty when he smiled.

Wow, that's Liev's younger brother? (I didn't even know he had a brother!) The guy I saw looked more like him than Pablo!

37. No...
but he kind of looked like the guy's friend he was dining with. (My SIL thought the friend looked more famous than the guy I was trying to pin a name to.)

15. I can't help you...but the thread title reminded me of a converation I had with Mr. Brickbat once...
Me: What's that song, where you think it's over, and then --

Him: Cinnamon Girl?

Me: Um. Yeah.

He's good, that Mr. Brickbat.

20. I thought of him too
I didn't realize they were on Totally Looks Like till I googled "looks like Balthazar Getty" and then noticed the guy looked more like Liev Schreiber, so I referenced him instead.

But no...the guy I saw was in his early 20s. :(

30. I am starting to doubt myself, I must admit
I know what's going to happen--just when I've convinced myself that he was nobody and I've forgotten the whole thing, I will see him on TV and go "THAT'S THE GUY!" 'Course, that'll be in five months' time.

This guy was more classically "hunky", if you know what I mean.

I mean, this guy was young--early 20s. *I* don't think Ray Liotta's old!
