Various things, seperated at birth pics, and bonus Scott Baio!

Happy late B-Day to the great evil twin skripka.

So yesterday we were all up at around 8am so we went to Cracker Barrell for breakfast. Halfway thru breakfast this guy goes by carrying a baby carrier. Hubby's eyes light up and he goes, "That's Chachi!"

I was like, "Yeah, right." Hubby insisted it was but I couldn't see the guys face though I did notice people staring as he passed by. The couple across from us was like "Oh my god, Scott Baio."

Then a waitress was asking another couple if they'd spotted Baio. Then he stopped outside the restaurant for something and I could see his face and it was him! I used to love Chachi! Hee! I just want to know what he's doing in the middle of Tennessee. Maybe he's shooting a new reality show: 'Scott Baio's 46 and having a baby and pritty damn lost.'

Sometimes I see an actor and think they look like another actor so much but when I mention it, most people look at me like I'm nuts (I still say Leelee Sobieski stole Helen Hunt's genes and Skeet Ulrich stole Johnny Depp's genes before he stole them back).

I've said for awhile that Adrian Pasdar looks like the guy from 21 Jumpstreet, Richard Grieco. Now I have proof though you all can still look at me funny.



















Burn notice re-running on USA on Thursdays and probably other days. New season July 10th!

Scott Baio... oh god, I haven't thought about him for a while. Random person to see at a Cracker Barrel, that's for sure.

PS - Your story should be in your inbox! :D

I know! It was like egg, egg, pancake, Scott Baio. Very weird.

I got it! Thanks!

*Hee*

I randomly see Richard Greico from time to time at Starbucks and I can tell you that Adrian has aged MUCH better!

Leelee Sobieski and Helen Hunt TOTALLY must be related. I remember the first time I saw Leelee and couldn't figure out if it was Helen Hunt's neice, or what!

The other actresses that I think look alike are Jordana Brewster and Angie Harmon. They have a gene-swap thing going on too.

Jordanna and Angie Harmon do look alike! There is lots of gene stealing going on in Hollywood.

Aww, poor Richard Grieco.

Celebrities in Unexpected Places

[dodger-winslow.livejournal.com]

LOL. Celebrities in unexpected places. I was in Mississippi (of all places) once, eating in a restraunt with my aunt and uncle, when I looked up at a man standing less than an arm's reach away from me and thought, holy hell, that guy looks like Rob Reiner. And then I realized. NOBODY looks that much like Rob Reiner except Rob Reiner.

Whoda thunkit? But it was him.

So my aunt and uncle, who are good, solid, salt-of-the-Earth types, saw the WTF? look on my face, and wanted to know what was going on. And yes, Rob and his entorage were now sitting at the table right beside ours. So I'm trying to QUIETLY explain who Rob is ... which is a hell of a lot easier to do if your salt-of-the-Earth uncle isn't half fucking deaf.

So my aunt, who isn't necessarily all that movie savvy, but who is movie interested, is like, "What would I know him from?"

And I try, "You remember Alan Brady from the Dick VanDyke show? It's his son." And yes, they remember the Dick VanDyke Show, but no, they can't remember what Alan Brady looked like. Okay. So I tried, "Well, he was Tom Hanks best friend in Sleepless in Seatle." Blank look in response. Okaaaay.

Now figuring age-appropriate for the original Dick VanDyke Show, you'd probably (righty) assume they aren't that up on the Hwood movers and shakers; but still, I give it a shot. "Well, he made When Harry Met Sally." Blank look. "Misery?" Blanker look. "A Few Good Men?" Flicker of recognition, but only for Jack Nicholson. "The American President?" An we're back to the blank look again.

So okay, I give in. Because my uncle, at this point, is getting bored. And kinda loud. So I lower my voice to its smallest whisper and say, "Okay, you might know him as Mike from All in the Family."

And my uncle, God bless his salt-of-the-Earth, damned-near-deaf soul, BELLOWS, "Meathead? You mean MEATHEAD? Well, hell! Why didn't you just SAY Meathead? I know him."

Yeah. I-need-to-die-now embarrassment may be good for the soul. Or the character. But it is not good for the digestion.

But it was Rob Reiner. You could tell that by the killing look he shot me at the full-voiced announcement that Meathead was in the house.

:D

Ha! Any day now maybe he'll come out with a book titled, "I am not Meathead!"

I remember Booker and Richard Grieco was hot back in the day. Adrian's hotter.
