John Travolta
No, no! The one on the right!
Nicolas Cage
Terrence Mann
Mann is another stage actor. Though he's been in some of the same plays as Todd Alan Johnson, the most amazing likeness is that he also has a page that examines the ever-important question of who he looks like. Actually, sadly, Who's Da Mann, the website that contained that page, no longer exists in its complete form, so you'll just have to trust us that such a page existed at one time.
Robert Picardo
If you've ever watched Star Trek: Voyager, you've seen him as the doctor; if you've ever watched The Wonder Years, you've seen him as Coach Cutlip.
Billy Bob Thornton
Actually, it was stated in response to a previous comment that Robert Picardo doesn't look like Todd Alan Johnson, but instead like the "slimmified" Billy Bob Thornton. But if you accept that Robert Picardo looks like Billy Bob Thornton and that Robert Picardo does look like Todd Alan Johnson after all, then by the theory of transativity, Todd Alan Johnson should appear to resemble Bill Bob Thornton. Follow?
Al Franken
Al Franken's name may be most recognized from his book, Rush Limbaugh is a Big, Fat Idiot.
Robert Downey Jr.
John Malkovich
In 2001 a French miniseries of Les Misérables, apparently acting on the comparison on this website, cast Malkovich in the role of Javert. However, this is not the most interesting thing about John Malkovich. The most interesting thing about John Malkovich is his ability to speak without any inflection whatsoever.
Ernest Wanderwild's 9th grade algebra teacher
Apparently a voter on this site had a math teacher who also bore the Scarlet Letter of Resemblance.
Greg Kinnear
We assume this is who was meant by "that guy from As Good As It Gets." Jack Nicholson would just be too crazy, even for us.
Josh Morrow
Apparently he's a soap opera actor. We'd never heard of him, either.
Gérard Depardieu
Andrew Lloyd Webber
Luther Burbank
Luther Burbank is the Burbank from whom we get Burbank, California. But most notably Burbank was big into plants, and with much cross-breeding and what-have-you he developed a strain of transparent raspberry. Too cool.
Mike Myers
Dracula
Just saying "Dracula" is a little vague, so we decided to take it literally. This is Vlad Tepes (a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler), a medieval Romanian prince who earned a nasty reputation and the name "Dracula" for doing not-nice things.
The Moth
Get a load of this moth! It is a Virginia creeper sphinx moth, whom we'll call Bob. It's not exactly the same as The Moth which Keith and Lindsay spotted and which figures in the moth story, but it's close enough. Not only that, but it's big enough: it can get a wingspan of about four inches.
James K. Polk
Note the near-matching cravats.
Javert
Sam the Eagle from the The Muppet Show
Joe Piscopo
Piscapo is, as it turns out, a comic, actor, and former SNL castmember. Or we think that's who is meant. The voter spelled his last name with an A (Piscapo), and we did find Joe Piscapos on the internet, but we think it's this guy. We like him because he was in a movie about Bartleby the Scrivener and on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Also he was in a movie called Captain Nuke and The Bomber Boys. Could you ask for more?
John Elway
Jim Carrey
The response said "without those stupid faces," but this was about the best we could come up with.
Phil Ackley
Sorry, no picture is available. Phil Ackley is someone who responded to the survey who apparently also finds himself blessed/cursed with Travolta similarity and voted for himself as a look-alike.
Patrick Stewart
We think someone just thought we needed a reference to Patrick Stewart on the site. He adds a touch of class to anything.
Robert Wagner
Hmm, this is the third "Robert" who has been suggested. But does it mean anything? Furthermore, a good way to case out Robert Wagner is to watch the first Austin Powers movie (he's whatshisname, the guy with the eyepatch). Innocuous in and of itself, but as can be seen above, another Austin Powers movie vet--Austin Powers himself, in fact--Mike Myers, was also suggested. Hmm, again....
John Lithgow
Also from the Coincidence Department: John Lithgow was in A Civil Action, which starred...John Travolta. Hmm, once more....
Abraham Lincoln
Well, this is another response from waaay out in left field. Perhaps a pre-beard picture would be better. But we doubt it.
Mickey Mouse
Great. Now we're going to get sued by Disney. And trust us: we're from Florida, we've seen Mickey Mouse, and Todd Alan Johnson does not resemble Mickey Mouse. Not even a little bit. Nope. Not at all. No way. And that's the truth.
Jon Stewart
Another John (actually a Jon, but think phonetically). However, if you want to give the resemblance thing a chance it's best if you need glasses and aren't wearing them. Even then it's dubious. Not as dubious as, say, Mickey Mouse, but still...
Johnny V
Johnny V was a tough one. See, we don't know who he is, and finding out was not easy, even with the internet. Did the voter mean Johnny V the inspirational Christain speaker and performer (right)? Or perhaps Johnny V the Canadian blues singer (left)? Or some other, as yet unknown, Johnny V who, unlike these candidates, actually resembles Todd Alan Johnson? Confusing, no? We leave it up to you, Gentle Voter.
Brad Pitt
Do we have to have him on our page? For crying out loud.
Mark Messier
According to the picture caption, Messier is giving another player his "patented stare."
Richard Grant
Here seen in "threat" mode in A&E's (not-very-good) version of The Scarlet Pimpernel.
someone playing Ebeneezer Scrooge
Since the "someone" was not said with a specific person in mind--just anyone in the role--we selected someone randomly. The someone in question is Reginald Owen from a 1938 film adaption of A Christmas Carol.
William Shatner
Hunter S. Thompson
Donny Osmond
Melvin P. Thorpe
Thorpe is not an actual person, but a character in a
play (The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) that
was based on an actual person of a different name.
Follow? Point is, it was much more difficult to come up
with a graphical representation of a fictional character
played by various actors. However, Denise, a cool person from the North Carolina Theatre, sent us a photo of TAJ's version of Thorpe from the theatre's production of the play. (Before we had been forced to suggest, from our own experience of seeing the production, that people think of the most alarming combination of Texas,
Liberace, Las Vegas and TV evangalism possible. We had
used, to represent this concept, a combo
picture of someone
ELSE performing the role and the Texas flag. The
picture we have now is MUCH better. Thanks Denise!)
Stephen King
Forget the novels, King's most notable achievement is that he plays in an amateur band comprised of other writers, including novelist Amy Tan and humorist Dave Barry. Here you can see that he looks more like Dave Barry than he'll ever look like Todd Alan Johnson.
Mr. St. John
From the Charlotte Bronte novel Jane Eyre, it's
the main male character who's not Mr. Rochester.
Gary Oldman
Martin Sheen
Dr. Strangelove
Gene Alvarez
No one famous this time, and not fictional either.
Eddie Munster
From the similarly-named TV show, this version of Eddie is played by Butch Patrick.
Cornelius from The Planet of the Apes
The actor under all that is...the ever-versatile Todd Alan Johnson! No, it's actually Roddy McDowall.
Andy Kaufman
René Descartes
The theory behind this is like the idea behind the Billy Bob Thornton suggestion. It was said that Descartes looks like Gérard Depardieu, so if you are the one person on the planet who thinks Todd Alan Johnson looks like Depardieu and also thinks Descartes looks like Depardieu, then by the theory of transitivity, Descartes looks like Tood Alan Johnson. It actually does make sense, at least in the mathematical sense of if A = B and B = C, then A = C. Other than that, it's nuts....
Todd Tarrance
As long as such suggestions are being made, here's one from Lindsay: Todd Tarrance was in a play at her college, and the crew decided that he looked like Sam the Eagle, who was also nominated for Todd Alan Johnson resemblance. So if they both look like Sam the Eagle, Todd Tarrance should look like Todd Alan Johnson. In theory...mind you, Lindsay thinks there's something screwy about the theory.
Dana Butler's husband
A voter wrote in to say that her husband looks like Travolta, and therefore he possibly looks like TAJ. However, no picture is available.
Johnny Depp
Hunter S. Thompson was suggested as Todd Alan Johnson look-alike, and Johnny Depp played Hunter S. Thompson in a movie. Supposedly, this means all three look something alike. Or something.
Bela Lugosi
Lugosi, the prolific Hungarian-born horror movie actor, enjoyed collecting stamps. He also appears in the hilariously horrible Ed Wood movie, Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Jeff Van Gundy
This fellow is an NBA head coach, most recently of the New York Knicks. Usually when you see him on TV he looks much different: much more worried and a little annoyed, too. It is probably that which brings on the resemblance.
Andre Agassi
Dr. Robbie Boerth
Another non-famous person, except perhaps around the campus where he was an English professor.
Julien's old history professor, except white
Julien is a survey respondant, so no picture is available.
Wes Borland
Wes is a former member of the band Limp Bizkit.
Ben Stiller
The voter who suggested this comparison saw the likeness between Stiller and Todd Alan Johnson's headshot. Why we include this information, we are not sure, it just seemed like something to say.
Ari Fleischer
He's the W. administration's (now-former) press secretary.
Mike Tice
He's the new head coach of the...uh...one of the NFL teams. The likeness is not striking, it's better on TV, and even then it's more of a suggestion than a likeness.
Jeremy Priven
After a string of two non-actors, here's another actor, suggested by someone who used to know Todd Alan Johnson, so maybe there is an actual basis for the suggestion, unlike, say, the premise of the suggestion "Mickey Mouse." You can see Priven in Family Man and Serendipity.
Dennis
Dennis X is someone who voted in the survey and suggested himself as a candidate. Sadly, we have no picture.
Lisa's college boyfriend, Noah
Lisa is the Lisa we at the page know and love, but she hasn't found a suitable picture yet.
Jacqui's oldest son
Jacqui is an unknown voter, so no picture is available. Although, if you vote for a non-famous person, you're welcome to send a picture in, too.
Adrian Paul
First we thought this may be who was meant by "the guy out of Highlander." Adrian Paul played Duncan MacLeod in the Highlander TV series.
Christopher Lambert
Then we thought this could very easily also be who was meant by "the guy out of Highlander." At least in this picture the likeness was pretty good, so now we're leaning toward the voter meaning Christopher Lambert, who played Connor MacLeod (a.k.a. Russell Nash) in the Highlander movies. At least we are reasonably sure the voter didn't mean Sean Connery.
Tim O'Shea
A basketball coach at the University of Ohio, shown here with a...basketball. The photo was probably found in an alumni magazine, and it must be said that, really, there is no resemblance. Someone was hallucinating.
Mark Setlock
Mark Setlock is a stage actor who was in a one-man show, Fully Committed, about a reservationist at a fancy restaurant, hence the headgear. A much better likeness here.
Eddie Izzard
Curiouser and curiouser. Eddie Izzard, in his natural mode, looks nothing like Todd Alan Johnson. This shot of him in The Avengers is about as close as it gets, and still it's the kind of stretch that makes an elastic factory jealous.
Peter Feldman
Okay, this is the production stage manager at The Naples Players. Lindsay is adding him, because if visitors can add Eddie Izzard...well...
Michael Wincott
Michael Wincott, who often plays the villain, as seen in The Count of Monte Cristo as Dorleac. He was also Scroob in the animated Treasure Planet, so it is possible to see how he looks as an animated bad guy, though this likely has no bearing on how Todd Alan Johnson would look if he were a cartoon.
Ramin Karmiloo
A stage actor, Karmiloo has played Enjolras in Les Miserables, Joe in Sunset Boulavard, and Raoul in The Phantom of the Opera.
Joseph Fiennes
Not only has a voter suggested that Fiennes looks like Ramin Karmiloo, who was suggested as a TAJ look-alike, but there was some vague notion from the site's keepers that at certain angles there was a resemblance in the movie Luther.
Ron Perlman
A voter stopped at naming Perlman a look-alike, but Lisa felt there was some vague merit to the suggestion as it pretained to Hellboy. The merest of glances at Ron Perlman in his natural state, sans goofy makeup, reveals that this potential resemblance is tenuous at the most.
