Used to happen a bit. Id get a couple of people a week come up to me and say "its you"... or "you were great in that show" etc. Then nothing for a few years... then it would happen again. I even signed some womans T shirt. I had to sign it with an indecipherable scribble as to this day I still don't know who they thought I was....but its also helped me get waved through into three clubs and a restaurant

I was in my late teens a guy walked up to and started talking to me like he knew me.. When I told him he had the wrong person.. he laughed and kept on talking.. The thing is I played footy with the guy he mistaken me for and apart from physique and some similar facial features we had different color hair , he blonde and me dark brown.. go figure.. I was in the Raratonga airport in the cook islands with my then GF when 2 Asian guys walked up and asked for a picture. Thinking they wanted me to take their picture I reached for their camera and they pulled back giving it to my GF and came each side of me. They wanted to have a pic taken with me and I didnt know why..? I figured being Asian and speaking hardly any english they would not know me from my footy days. But then they asked for a autograph.. ? What ? This was getting too silly for words... I politely smiled and said why " you dont know me.. Yes Mr Magnum.. we watch you all the time in our country..

About 4 - 5 weeks ago I was walking back from the local shops. Was crossing a nearby street, and a woman in an electric wheelchair came along from that side-street and sidled up next to me, and started talking to me. She carried on quite a conversation about a few odd items, and I just politely talked back with her. After a while she said to me "You are Steve aren't you ?", to which I had to tell her that I was not (and not even close). She still stayed next to me until I had to cross the road to head back home. Many years ago I was also told I looked like an actor from the movie The Orient Express, but as I had not seen the movie I had no idea to whom they were referring to. I've since seen it and still don't know. I do still occasionally get people just coming up and talking to me, obviously mistaking me for other friends. Strange as I've never seen anyone else that I would say looks close to me. Tall

At my sister's wedding I was mistaken for Lisa Marie Presley. And that as before alcohol was served!! I also, apparently, have a twin in Perth. Have been mistaken for her 4 times by 4 different people. It's only when I speak with an English accent that they know. Apparently the other girl is Australian. Would be interesting to meet her.

Quoting 'Meander' Princess Mary all the time. ;-) I can see that one... I have the same name as a guy who is famous in a different sport, which can get interesting since I go to his home country very often to compete in my own sport - more often than he is there I think. Someone messaged me (mistakenly) the other day asking if I'd help endorse a sports academy/foundation for youths... you'd think they could do the due diligence to actually send the message to the right person, it's especially bad since my twitter profile has my team photo and it clearly ain't what the other guy does.

Quoting 'Freya70' How disconcerting for you, xxFreya Thanks, but being a generally friendly and welcoming person, I don't mind if the odd stranger just wants a bit of time for a quick natter, even if they do mistake me for someone else. I'll usually humour them. Tall

with a guy who shared the infamous porn star name of John Holmes ... and yes he also shared the same credentials in the endowment department that made the porn star famous! . Every time he had to give his name somewhere he was served with a grin or some smart comment mostly from other men. LG

Twin Strangers is a website that links together people who look alike. They are really uncanny. I don't think I look like someone particular, but people often ask if we've met before, or that I seem familliar. I take that to mean I'm either generic looking, or there is a porn star out there that I resemble (and they haven't been really looking too much at her face)

Yeah.. Taking a lot of flack where I work.. :)After "Colony" on SBS, I went to Ireland to say "Goodbye" to an old mate about to "get away from us" from Cancer..I went on a tour through most of the counties North and South.. and got "Recognised" a LOT over there.. THANKFULLY.. the IRISH family on the Show were very unpopular by "republican" Irish back there, I was treated with good humour.. In Belfast, I was nearly a "Hero"

I was in a Rivers store buying a jacket and one of the counter girls came up to me and asked for my autograph. I laughed and asked why. I thought she was pulling my leg or setting me up. She was absolutely convinced that I was Billy Bob Thornton and the more I tried to explain I wasn't the more she became convinced. My partner at the time had to tell her to back off and we left without the jacket. As we walked out the door we could here her telling another customer that was Billy Bob.

In hindsight I guess it was a compliment.... Tom Selleck in those days was big time popular.. I knew straight away who they meant when they said Mr Magnum and no matter how much I told them I'm not Magnum.. they looked puzzled , so I just had the one each side pic to make them happy... x

When 'Young Einstein' came out I had a mop and a half and when walking by primary schools it was impossible not to have kids hanging over the fence screaming it's Young Einstein. I used to love that as it was just so funny. I played it up for them a bit too.

I had a teammate who could've been Heath Ledger's identical twin, it worked quite well for him when out on the town picking up... until that ploy obviously wouldn't work anymore.

I've been the one thinking I saw a friend. She had the exact same wild hair and unique jacket so I ran up from behind and hugged her and when she turned around I had to apologise and she was really cool and laughed and said it's o'k I like hugs.

When I was a young surfie type in my twenties, people would often mistake me for pro surfer Barton Lynch (which was actually pretty cool). Some people now think I look like Jeff Kennet (which is a bummer!). However, most people still get me mixed up with Cap'n No Beard (despite him having that scar and all). Obi1
