Some folks have a striking resemblance to celebrities, and there are two ways to handle it. You could either burst the bubble and tell people you're not really Tom Cruise or Jake Gyllenhaal, disappointing those eager fans. Or, you could just roll with it, play along, and enjoy the moment when someone comes up to you all starry-eyed, showering you with praise for 'your' work. That's definitely the more entertaining option.
