Lookalikes (not for the 1st time either)

Alynzia · September 19, 2001, 05:56

I'm sure there has been a lookalikes thread concerning the AC faction leaders. I cannot be bothered to look for it. Someone pointed out Star Trek Voyager's Seven of Nine could be Aki Zeta Five a while back, but that is really weak seeing as actress Jeri Ryan looks nothing like Aki. Also kass pointed out an eerily sinister lookalike of Pravin Lal.

Seeing as I have nothing much to contribute here, I am going see if I can find pictures of people I know look like faction leaders and post them on this thread if I can.

So far I am thinking the following...

Model Sophie Dahl vs. Aki Zeta Five
Michael Dorn (Worf without make up) vs. CEO Morgan
Brent Spiner (when in Independence Day) vs. Zakharov
A lot of Muslim terrorists vs. Pravin Lal
(I'm sorry, they all remind me of him!)
I myself can pass for Santiago, I'd like to think.

I will be working on finding appropriate photographs for comparison, again, if I can be bothered.

Alynzia.

(I have a photo taken in Deirdre style like a portrait of me. You can all laugh but it got me 11 replies on an internet dating service!)

Alynzia,

Please post your Dierde-like picture to this thread! You will probably get a faction named after you, which someone will inevitably point out as being just a copy of the Spartans or the Gaians

I look like a much younger version of our beloved Chairman.

Cybergod · September 19, 2001, 14:03

No matter what I do, I still look like Sven from SMAX...

BTW, Alynzia, I'd like to make a faction of you if you send the pic AND your playing characteristics + some personality traits (I do a little of psychology).

See, what'd I tell you?

If I saw a true look-alike in the streets I'd be so shocked...there's something unusual and outstanding about each leader.

If you de-aged Zak a lot (around 50 years), there's a fair chance he'd look similar to me. Odd, since I don't have a drop of Russian blood.

And of course, Morgan Freeman could pass for Lal or Morgan without the mustache...

Alynzia · September 21, 2001, 07:44

Michael Dorn versus Nwabudike Morgan.

Alynzia · September 21, 2001, 07:54

I'm desperately sorry I don't know how to insert/paste pictures yet. I live in back the 17th century, you see. So here are more attachments!

This is my Deirdre picture. Just so Smack can laugh himself silly again. You're a mean one, aren't you?

Aly Knights versus Deirdre Skye.

Alynzia · September 21, 2001, 07:58

I am very naughty to do this one. Please don't get me chucked off the forum. I am a good girl really. It is not a sick joke, it is a legitimate comparison.

The Evil One versus Pravin Lal.

Avenoct · September 21, 2001, 08:02

My goodness, that is striking! You could be sisters.

No, I'm not a mean one, but I do get carried away sometimes...I was imagining what would happen if/when you posted your picture to the geeky Forums, knowing how so many have big crushes on Deirdre. Now we get to find out....(dah dah daaahhhh *insert suspenseful music here*)

Alynzia · September 21, 2001, 08:06

Okay, well I'm not Corazon's clone, or her sister, or her cousin, but I think I look the most like her than any other *pig* on Apolyton. It's a contest, if you look more like another faction leader than I do the Colonel, you win. Are you brave enough to post your pics, Vlad & Cybergod?

Me versus Corazon Santiago.

Alynzia · September 21, 2001, 08:20

I'm sorry, I cross-posted with Smack. You are not mean. I take it back. You know, I'm probably Deirdre when cheeky Zakharov spiked her gene therapy serum with pig DNA. Damn that Zakharov! His technicians claimed he was drunk, but I know it was deliberate!

In my edit, I have altered the 'Is Jeri Ryan more like Aki Zeta Five than Porcine Princess Alynzia?' to include Aki Zeta Five herself. I hope this is of some use!

That is me done until I can find Brent Spiner from Independence Day and Sophie Dahl versus Aki Zeta Five pictures.

Thank you for putting up with me.

Alynzia.

knowhow2 · September 21, 2001, 09:40

My dear God!
You look just like Aki, except for the hair of cause. That picture, my sweet sweet god(s), you are Aki-Zeta 5 aren't you!

Avenoct · September 21, 2001, 12:32

I don't know, but someone told me I look like Zakharov..

Kassiopeia · September 21, 2001, 13:08

Well that explains why Alynzia uses Corazon as her avatar.
I am myself forced to inform you all that I have no resemblence whatsoever to the faction leaders.
*trys to find an electronic picture of himself*
C U soon?

Kassiopeia · September 21, 2001, 13:18

Now let's just hope this attachment thing works properly.

Cybergod · September 21, 2001, 13:48

Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner so I can't post you a pic of moi. Actually, I look more like a cross between Svengaard with a haircut and Domai without a moustache (plus a dose years younger...).

Oh yeah, comment on the pictures:

OH MY GOD, IT'S BEAKER!!!

and

OH MY GOD, IT'S MARYLIN MONROE!!!

Alynzia · September 22, 2001, 06:45

Oh, you lovely people. Thank you for keeping this thread bumped long enough for me to put on my Sophie Dahl and Brent Spiner pictures. I implore you to look at the Brent Spiner one, it is amazingly like our good Academician.

Thank you to kass for putting on your picture. I felt silly doing mine on my own. I may not be Jeri Ryan or Marilyn Monroe but it could be worse, I could be a Sister Miriam Godwinson lookalike. Not that I would mind being a titian beauty like Rynn though *sigh*. Or a titian beauty like Smack who has obviously been busy reinventing gravitational laws to support his hair...

Put in my edit : Aki Zeta Five versus Sophie Dahl.

Alynzia · September 22, 2001, 07:02

This is my last lookalike I'm going to post. It's fine that the rest of you lookalikes don't have pics. I am very brave to have posted mine. Thank you for the offer of a custom faction Cybergod, but 'Alynzia's Pig Confederacy' possibly might not be that fun to play.

Okay. Independence Day came out in 1996. Zakharov's portrait was painted then, I am led to believe. The similarity is immense. Does anybody else agree?

The Brent Spiner pic is copyright ID4 Movie CD Encyclopedia, and I procured the image from Eileen Jahna's positively delightful website.

Academician Prokhor Zakharov versus Brent Spiner.

Clear Skies · September 22, 2001, 07:10

And anyone who looks like H'minee or Marr is one sick twickie...

Avenoct · September 22, 2001, 08:56

The Brent Spiner vs. Zak comparison is amazing. I don't think Morgan vs. Michael Dorn or Lal vs. Laden are very close though. I don't think I've ever seen anyone look like Lal in real life but to me he looks 1/2 Indian, 1/2 British Colonialist. Could he be Gandi's bastard son?

And what's all this about pigs Alynzia? If you're a Pig, I'm a muppet. Oh wait.....um.....

Nah, it was bad enough in quality...

And I hadn't had a haircut in ages, and I was wearing my specs, so you won't know me even if in some way I'd run up on you by the street.

Alynzia · September 23, 2001, 07:20

Fudge, fudge, fudge. I tried to alter the attachment 'jeri.jpg' to include Aki. It wouldn't work so I am posting it seperately. This is really cheap.
