Now I think I look like Paul Giamatti.

My father bore an eerie resemblance to Bob Crane. People were always coming up to him in restaurants and asking him if he was Bob Crane. The illusion was enhanced because his name was Bob, and people would overhear my mother calling him that.

It even happened a couple of times in the years after Bob Crane was murdered. Weird.
