Mister Matty Started conversation Dec 22, 2002
This was inspired by a thread on another forum - basically what Researchers who you have met or seen their photo look like famous people? 
I'll put forward the following:
Doctorgonzo - Dave Gorman
fords_prefect - Christina Ricci in a wig 
Demon Drawer - the main character in the film "Pi"
Oh, and before I grew the beard I looked like Ian Curtis of Joy Division fame, apparently.

Are there pictures of any of you? must confirm resemblances...
I have been told I look like Bjork, Natalie Imbruglia and Pocahontas, variously. I am not sure how to take this. Queex does not look like anyone really, although I have a picture in which he resembles some kind of reclusive nutter living in a Unabomber-style shack.

He's going to hate me for this, but I reckon UH looks like the kid who plays Harry Potter
Ok, maybe it's just cos he's the only other dark-haired Brit I know

O my, he really does!
Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head... though I look eerily like the chick in Titian's Venus. 
(mostly in the face and the hair... not the, er, other parts. )

Anyone seen Then and Now? I'm told I look like the smart girl (the kid version of Demi Moore *rolls eyes*
Njan looks like God 
. Only a God could make me hyperventilate so .
And of course Ashley looks like the protypical dark-haired Adonis girls have wanted to sleep with since the beginning of time 
*reiterates 'why ya gotta be so cruel' lamentation*

Too late GreyDesk, that is now how I imagine you...

He is shorter than me.
He is thinner than me.
His nose is larger.
His eyes are a different colour to mine.
His hair is darker.
...and its starting to recede.
He is substantially older than me.
He is also substantially richer than me
The only likeness is we both wear glasses and both have a willy. Although as Ben Elton is Jewish, his won't be as complete as mine.
