Do you or your better half get told you look like someone famous?

I get told Tony Soprano. I was sitting in my cousins' restaurant this spring one afternoon in the bar. These two cougars asked me, "Excuse me sir, how realistic is the Sopranos?"
My wife says Richard Kuklinski (The Iceman), when he was young.

Once I was told I looked like Kix Brooks and way back like Lee Horsely.
At least once a week I use to get the "don't I know you" comment or "you look like someone familiar"....I always asked WHO, but they usually told me someone...not anyone in particular...dang it.
My wife use to tease me that whomever I looked like they had better not comment a crime...I'll be the one who serves the time.
One time in Lousiana at a blackjack table I almost caused a fight.
My wife was at first base (starting position on the blackjack table), I was sitting next, a man next to me, then his wife.
While the dealer was shuffling the deck, the lady leaned forward and told me I looked familiar. Jokingly, jokingly. ..I leaned over and told her she looked familiar. Then I asked her if that was her husband she was sitting next to.
She replied yes. I quickly replied that I have never seen her before in my entire life.
I started to laugh at my joking response. Her husband didn't think it was that funny!!!
A penny for every time someone thinks they know me...I'd be rich. One time someone thought they knew my wife and she was really thrilled it was her turn to be asked instead of me...go figure.

Whenever people figure out my last name, which is isn't necessarily exotic, but outside of my family I've never known another with the same name, they ask, "Are you related to Gary Blahblah?"
It's never anyone else, it's always Gary. I don't know who he is, but he's pretty popular in Oklahoma.
I get several.
I can't tell you how many people stop me and ask if I am a cop. My wife didn't believe me until two different clerks at a store in different departments asked me.
Usually I get this guy:
I've had people ask for my autograph, hostesses keep bringing people past my table and pointing, even people on planes pointing me out.

Haha... I get mistaken for a cop all the time at work. I guess dressing in EMT pants and boots, and athletic-type shirts (Nike and Adidas pullovers, mostly) somehow sends a "SWAT" message? Even with a stethoscope around my neck! 
Go figure.
Go figure.
My wife sent this video to me:

many years ago ............While in Atlanta for a company training program. The Instructor, who was from Norway, and I went to very nice steak house before the strip clubs. The waitress kept coming by our table and looking intently at us. I made a trip to the restroom, upon coming out, 2 waitresses asked me if I was with Boomer Esiasan. I motioned for them to be quiet and then told them yes it was, I was his agent and we were negotiating with the Falcons.
I returned to the table and informed Geir of the conversation and then explaining who Boomer was.
The 2 waitresses came by a few moments later and asked for his autograph. After walking away giggling, the owner/manager came over with some champagne and asked him to autograph the back of our ticket. He told us the meal was on him and he was sooooooooo hoping we could make a deal with those 'sorry-assed Falcons' and bring a bit of class to Atlanta.
We left laughing, but the same ploy would not work at the strip club. Turned out 6 of the Falcons were there.
