Which UM person reminds you most of you?

[wiseguy182]

Okay, so I thought this might be a neat question to ask: Which UM person reminds you most of you? Or, if nobody comes to mind, is there anyone on UM that you look like? Or, if nobody comes to mind on that question either, is there anyone on UM that you identify most with?

I'll go first: I think I am most like Norman Ladner. Kind of quiet and responsible for his age, but was known to crack jokes. Loved the outdoors as a means of temporarily getting away from the hussel and bussel of everyday life.

I'm interested to hear some responses.

Geez, I'll have to think hard on this one....................
I'll get back to you!

Interesting thread. Well as soon as I saw a picture of Pam Ellender I thought she resembled me in my engagement picture. Also one of the victims of the I-70 Killer reminded me a little of myself back when I had 'big hair'.

robert stack because I love to hang around in spooky areas while wearing a long coat and speaking with a gravelly voice.

Maybe Keeley Shay or Virginia Madsen, because I like to pretend to host UM along side Robert Stack but really only make a fool of myself


The only slightest resemblence I can think of, is the Rhonda chick from the Grace Brown/Chester Gillette segment. The young camp worker that went upstairs in the cabin and didn't see anything but her friends outside did. I resembled her (especially the hair) when I was in high school.

You stole mine!

Seriously, the problem with UM is that at least 50% of the people interviewed for the show are not people you want to think of yourself as resembling or identifying with (possible murder suspects, weirdos who claim to see things that aren't there, etc.). The other 50% seem to be nice enough people, but as I've never had a child go missing or a close relative murdered, it's hard to say I "identify" with them. I sympathize with them, to be sure, but I just don't have the trauma in my background to identify with them. Four people I always found particularly sympathetic on UM were Matt Flores (post mortem, of course) and his wife, Gordon McAllister, and Jeremy ______, the young man whose fiancee, Heather, was killed by the hammer-wielding maniac who stole the computer they brought to sell him. Jeremy, of course, died himself in an auto accident in 1997.

But, of course, all four of these are linked by tragedy --- I feel very fortunate that I really cannot identify with the loss any of them felt.

I believe this is suppose to be a muck-around fun thread, not a serious one..?

On topic; I've got no resemblence to anyone I can think of. I do have a pair of Matrix style shades that were similar to those in the composite sketch of "G-Man". I know it's weak but it was the only thing that came to mind.

Good topic!

I would have to say W. Bruce Umpleby (the Stark County Sheriff during the Wacker's case) is a lot like me... especially in demeanour.

You weren't supposed to tell.

Dante...

The only resemblance I can think of: Jordan Knight of the NKOB (from the first "Update" to the Kari Lynn Nixon segment).

wiseguy if you are reading - great avatar but you need to put up the screengrab when her eyes get all huge and wide when she actually says "turning the light off" - one of the best expressions ever on UM!

I tried, but it's difficult to pause it at just that exact moment. But believe me, I know what you're talking about and yes that was a riot!

whoo!, 1000 posts! But eek, the next milestone is a long ways off...10,000 posts.

update: Ok, I switched my avatar slightly, I got it as close as I could to when her eyes got huge, I couldn't pause the disc though, as it would say pause on the avatar.

I don't think I look like anybody on UM. Come to think of it, I don't think I look like any celebrities either. But if I was forced to pick someone I looked like, I would say a little bit like Jon Cryer?

Where is everybody?
