Anybody have someone in their family or maybe a friend that always reminded you of a character on a sitcom or maybe even a drama?

For me personally, my late grandfather was a tossup between Ralph Kramden of the Honeymooners and Archie Bunker from All in the Family. He was a bit overweight who always chomped on a cigar. He was very gruff on the outside, but deep down was a very loving, hard working man.

I had a grandfather who acted and looked like Archie Bunker. I once was told I reminded someone of Bailey (don't remember if she had a last name)from WKRP in Cinncinnati (I worked in radio at one time). Oh, and in the last few years my family tells me I remind them of Monk because I do a lot of the things he does (I have mild OCD). Ok those weren't really lookwise (those I do actually kind of look like Bailey and have dark hair and glasses like she did) but that's all I could think of.

Well, like a lot of guys my age, my dad reminded me of Archie, too. (They even shared the same birthday!).

I had a classmate who looked a lot like Bob Denver, but his character was nothing like Gilligan's. (He was kind of a jerk).

My grandfather kinda looks like Normal Fell (Mr. Roper) And, he can also give you those hilarious looks that Roper gave.

and...this is so epic....

I know two people who look like Night Court actors. My uncle looks identical to Harry Anderson. And, I used to work with a guy who looked like Richard Moll (Bull) Needless to say. Working with someone who looked like Bull was intimidating.

Oh, and my across the street neighbor looks like Meredith Baxter. Which is pretty neat.

Ray Barone, Robert Barone, and Stanley Roper all reminded me of three of my uncles (not naming names out of respect :lol: ).

One of my aunt's on my dad's side reminds me of Roseanne from Roseanne and Dorothy from The Golden Girls respectively. She is very crude, brash, and straightforward. I was raised by her for a few years and let me tell you her personality got on my nerves sometimes.
