I’ve gotta say this might be one of the best calls I’ve ever made.  If it weren’t for the fact that I posted those three Youtube “Pro Wrestling: Then and Now” clips this never would have happened.  That and the fact that The Goonies is on every 16 minutes.

And as soon as I saw Mama Fratelli (Anne Ramsey), I put two and two together.  Unfortunately Ramsey passed away in 1988 but her legacy will live on with Greg “The Hammer” Valentine (AKA John Wisniski).  His last known appearance was at Ric Flair’s Retirement Ceremony in March of 2008.

Valentine is currently retired but I hope to God he winds up wrestling again in some crappy little town like most of the old guys do.  He was the man that made the figure four viable in the WWF.  Valentine is a legend as far as I’m concerned.

But unfortunately he really looks like Mama Fratelli.

This is disturbing

I’m a huge fan of spotting look alikes and I had even considered making an entire website dedicated to the subject.  Well, the folks over at I Can Cheezburger beat me to it with their website totallylookslike.

Each day users submit tons of potential look alike photos from around the web.  The admins then pick the best ones and post them each day for users to comment on.  I have to say that some of them are incredibly accurate.

I decided to scour through and find 10 human/non-human combinations that were pretty damned accurate.  FYI, most of these people don’t totally look like their non human counterparts at all times.

However, in these pictures they sure as hell do.

Now I know that Bob Costas has been compared to Mark Hamill in the past. Costas’s boyish looks and charm do in fact remind me of a young Skywalker. So in all honesty there’s nothing new there.

By the way I’m a little pissed that I have zero computer skills, otherwise I’d do an amazing photoshop Costas/Skywalker picture. Back to the subject. With all of this knowledge as to how much these two look alike, I’m kind of bummed that there’s no feature on this during the Olympics.

Can’t someone come up with a nice little 5 minute parody and have Costas waving his light sabre? It would give us something more entertaining than him talking with Mary Carillo who made fun of his height.

Before I sound too much like Bill Simmons, I’m going to cut this article short.

This is one of the best look-alikes of all time. Remember that little dude in the movie Legend with the really weird voice? He was some dwarf named Honeythorn Gump who guided Tom Cruise through his journey. The guy’s real name is David Bennent. Bennent never grew past 5 feet in real life and I think he’s still acting.

And then you have Frankie Muniz, beloved star of Malcolm in the Middle and a bunch of kids movies. I never understood the allure of Muniz. He’s kind of a shrimpy scary looking guy. But now I know. It’s the dwarfy Honeythorn Gump thing. Kids like imaginary forest characters and Muniz certainly fits that bill.

What’s Muniz up to now? The little fella, aged 23, is a professional car racer. He also writes and does a little producing. He plans to come back to acting which I think will be….never.

Here’s more proof that Muniz is a reincarnated Gump

I don’t know why I didn’t start this sooner but it’s far and away one of my favorite topics out there. For some reason I’m just very interested in look-alikes. And coming off a weird article I just read about Prince Philip, I realized that there was an odd resemblance to Miami Heat coach Pat Riley.

I’m not saying that Philip looks like Riley in all pictures but you have to admit in this one, it definitely looks like Philip could be Riley’s father or Riley in twenty years. Just thought I’d throw that one out there for you guys.

Here’s a few more so you believe me
