Rocker Doppelgängers In Hollywood

We've been slowly stepping into the Heroes universe (save the cheerleader, save the something or the other) -- a show we may turn to increasingly as the methadone for our LOST withdrawal -- and we thought that Peter Petrelli (played by Milo Ventimiglia) looked familiar. Thanks to Popwatch, we have it pegged!

Holy Bright Eyes! That got us thinking: What other rocker look-alikes are floating around Tinseltown? We're talking movie or television (preferrably current shows -- so we can be creeped out when we tune in next week -- but we'll accept look-alikes from deep in the annals of Rock N' TV history). Post jpeg links if you have 'em (or not) and we'll try update with a running list of side-by-sides images.

UPDATE: Napoleon Bluntamite! (Thanks, Blake!)

I thought Heroes was a half-hour comedy show a la Scrubs. By the time I managed to claw myself away from the last episode at half two this morning, I realised I'd been mistaken. I like it.

Milo Ventimiglia is so much cuter than Connor Oberst. And Milo is much cuter when not in "Jess" mode.

check out myheritage.com for the 'face recognition' gizmo. whilst not always entirely accurate with the results, it's still pretty entertaining to submit a pic & see what celebs you (or other celebs) resemble.

something just hit me when I was youtubing Jimmy Fallon (don't ask, something about nostalgia):

Jimmy Fallon in Avril drag (wifebeater and long blond wig...it's in the opening medley sequence for the 2002 VMAs) and post Y2K Axl Rose.

...so sad.

Okay, so I googled this and found this message board...

Are you ready for the most uncanny thing...?

Desmond from Lost
Dustin Hoffman
Leonard Cohen
Eddie Veder

I think this is just a guy who is very dynamic and never ages...his real name is Lance and he is from Teaneck, NJ. Guy totally digs fame and found the elixir in the Elizabeth sewage plant.
