Have you ever been mistaken for someone famous or have you mistaken a normal person for being someone famous?

In the '80s my parents lived on the upper west side of Manhattan, my father would regularly be asked for his autograph thinking that he was John Lennon.

A few years ago, I was trying to figure out why a lady at a sandwich shop looked so familiar & she said that a lot of people said that she looked like someone famous but no one could figure out who it was, after about half an hour I figured out who it was but I wasn't going to be the one to tell her that she looked JUST like Roger Daltrey.

I was at a Walk off the Earth show and was mistaken for Taylor, one of the band members. There was no advantage to this situation so I didn't play along.

Gene Wilder and Woody Allen in the 1970s. Later my kids thought I looked like Groucho Marx, and they were convinced that the kid in "The Wonder Years" was me.
