Look-alike

A look-alike is a living person who closely resembles another living person. In popular Western culture, a look-alike is a person who bears a close physical resemblance to a celebrity, politician or royalty. Many look-alikes earn a living by making guest appearances at public events or appearing on television and film playing the person they look like, often in scenes which call for special skills. Perhaps the most famous look-alike is Jeannette Charles who has worked as a look-alike to Queen Elizabeth II since the early 1970s. Some look-alike actors play more than one role in a production. Another well-known look-alike is Steve Sires who resembles Bill Gates of Microsoft. Sires came to attention when Sires attempted to trademark "Microsortof" and subsequently acted in some Microsoft company commercials. However, Sires has been infamous for taking part in "The Assasination of Bill Gates", where Sires' character makes a speech, looks up, and then is assasinated.
