Have you ever seen a person in real life that looks like a fictional character? (As in, they weren't intentionally trying to look like them.) Share your story!

Not to sound weird, but I accidentally looked like my favorite comic book character in college. I had enough of having short hair, so I grew it long (and straight and light brown), and I found this super-awesome full-length leather trench coat and went into deep lack-of-cash to get it (still wear it most days, so great value for the money, really), and wore it with my standard black boots and jeans.
Then one day I was browsing in the local comics shop, and they recommended "Aria", drawn by Jay Anacleto and written by Brian Haberlin (also later Brian Holguin). I picked it up, and there on the cover was a chick who looked like my twin, wearing the same outfit (different color shirt). Uncanny! He has a very realistic style, so I'm really not kidding when I say there was a resemblance.
So of course I bought it. What else was I going to do? The story was awesome too, and all about elves and fairies living in New York. My favorite is still the preview issue, as it's got the elf princess telling a fairy tale to the local kids. There's less art, but the story breathes.
