MyHeritage is borderline offensive
Patrick Dempsey
My significant other insists that I look like Patrick Dempsey, also known as Dr. Derek Shepherd from the ABC TV series “Grey’s Anatomy” — or perhaps better known for his groundbreaking work as Detective Mark Kincaid in “Scream 3″.
The resemblance is striking, she says, and her friends see it, too. I completely disagree. (For the record, I think Patrick Dempsey looks exactly like Sean Pean. (And as a side note, I frequently get called “Patrick” both by people who know me but trip up and by complete strangers. True story.))
So after seeing Rannie’s attempt at the the new MyHeritage face recognition site, I thought I would give it a try. If even a computer could find the connection, I would have to give in. So here’s what it came up with:
Leonard Nemoy! WTF? Wowzers, there’s an ego boost.
Do I really look like Leonard Nemoy? Or Patrick Dempsey for that matter?
My friend Hillary says that you look more like Kevin McDonald, from Kids in the Hall fame.
My results were varied. My Heritage says that I look like Viggo Mortenson, Matt Webber, Tippi Hendren and Harold Pinter.
And I’m not quite sure why you say that the site is borderline offensive.
Sam,
I said it’s borderline offensive because it says I look like Spock!
Also, I really don’t see the Kevin McDonald resemblance, although I like that link.
Also, my other results included Rabindranath Tagore, the obscure Bengali poet, Otto Hahn, the German chemist, Fernando Alonso, the (attractive) Spanish Formula One racer, and Joseph Deiss, the Swiss politician. WOW.
And Hilary Swank. At least she is mildly androgynous.
Significant other? Do tell…
Dr. McDreamy is uber hawt and so are you!
I agree with Sasha!
Andrew,
The good news is, you don’t look like Dr. Spock. The bad news is, you don’t look like Patrick either. Still, you should feel flattered that your girlfriend thinks you look like the hottest man on television (who–in my opinion, which has developed after MANY hours of studying Patrick Dempsey–doesn’t look like Sean Penn).
And one more thing . . .
Groundbreaking work on Scream? Umm . . . try Can’t Buy Me Love. It’s a CLASSIC ’80s teen movie. Everyone should be required to see it. (Though, Patrick doesn’t look quite as fantastic in 1987 or whatever.) Also, it’s not necessary to mock poor Patrick. He’s been nominated for a Golden Globe and SAG award this year, mind you.
I concur with Allie. Patrick Dempsey is the hottest man on television. In fact, he might not even be human…he’s just too damn hot. And if anyone thinks you look like him you should kiss the ground they walk on and feel proud of your suave ways because that’s a huge compliment for anyone to get, even Sean Penn!
Okay, the upper right hand pic..you can say a little PD…but much younger view of him.
A little Gel a little Jill, maybe you have a chance…PD wasn’t so fine as he is now…at your age, so things are still hopeful…Have an older brother, maybe we can tell what the potential will be? By the way loose the sweater, horrible color for you, and pattern…ask your girlfriend to look up some recent pics…of PD…it might help..
Lilly,
I love that sweater.
Live long and prosper!
That is pretty impressive!
