This has been going on for some time now, but thanks to a recent haircut, the number of people who approach me to tell me that I look like "that guy from Grey's Anatomy" has increased dramatically. They're referring to actor T.R. Knight, who plays Dr. George O'Malley on the show, but not once have I gotten anything more specific than "that guy." On one particularly amusing occasion, a fully grown man accosted me in a Ralph's parking lot and then paraded me in front of his disinterested wife. More recently, I overheard a duo of gabbing girls at the gym in North Hollywood where I work out: "Hey, he looks like that guy from Grey's anatomy. Wait, is he that guy from Grey's Anatomy?!"
I can only assume that there are untold masses who say nothing and silently believe that I actually am that guy and take my general, unfriendly demeanor--or possibly my presumed status as B-list celebrity whose name no one can ever recall--as a sign that they shouldn't approach me.
In actuality, T.R. Knight is pudgier, less attractive, and 10 years older than me.
