Fake Chuck Westfall
[Thanks to Luke.]
Fake Chuck Westfall (The real CW is Director for Canon U.S.A) and me? (Though I thought the pictures I (and Mike Johnston) had selected showed the likeness better, some people actually believed it was me on both.)
I think I could now spot the difference with reasonable certainty. You two look like "identical" twins, but there's something that sets you apart. A je ne sais quoi in the EXPRESSIONS. Like twins with altogether different personalities. I can feel it in both of his photos: the way he thinks and feels isn't the same as you. I'd wager the two of you are very different guys to know. (Also... is he as impressively tall? ;-)
Everyone doesn't "have a twin somewhere". Most everyone has MANY. The genetic variety in each of our facial features is not, by far, endless. The sum of all possible combinations, compared to the "6 billion something" of us humans, results in a relatively high frequency of highly similar-looking to near-identical individuals. You just have to look for them. Meeting your doppelganger living practically next door, now THAT's rather exceptional. In the communications-impaired world of the past, spotting such a thing felt uncanny to the extreme, almost diabolical. Not anymore.
Good or bad thing, the times, they are a-changing. Myself, I look eerily similar to the actual leader of Hezbollah, except he has a complete and much fuller beard. And more gray hair. Maybe I'll go to Hollywood and offer playing him in movies. I wouldn't even need to learn his language! On the other hand, I *might* need to learn to become invisible after that film is viewed in Lebanon! ;-) "Finish him... FATWALITY!"
Thanks, TTL. Sure, it had a rather commercial look, but I thought I was helping Canon, and look how they treat me! Boooooo-hoooooooh!!
(Don't tell anybody, but I'm deeply involved with a secret project demoing the upcoming Nikon D4. It will feature a nighttime rodeo, filmed from the cowboy's point of view. (We tried the bull as well, but the camera was too heavy, it broke any mount we tried.))
They used to say that everyone has a twin somewhere in the world. Looks like you found yours.

Uhm... On second thought, maybe I'll pass. 8-)
P.S.: Still you've got to admit, this Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is one handsome devil! ;o)

I really liked your work on Nocturne, Eolake. Too bad they took it down.
