Fake Fred Ewanuicks!


I've always found it fun to find similarities in appearance between people who are, as far as we know, not related. For example, I happen to think that both Gilles Duceppe (leader of Canada's Block Qu�becois national political party) and Finola Hughes (British actor who appeared in 90s tv sitcom "Blossom") share at least a passing resemblance to David Bowie:



C'mon, admit it: if the light hits your computer screen just-so and you squint your eyes in a certain way and tilt your head 90 degrees, you can see that these three must have some of the same bloodlines. Ok, maybe not, but it's rather more enjoyable watching the pre-election national debates imagining that the guy blabbing into the microphone is David Bowie rather than Gilles Duceppe.

So anyway, a thread came up on the imdb.com Fred Ewanuick message board that prompted me to create a Fred Ewanuick lookalike page.



Fred Ewanuick look-alike #1: Mark Ruffalo

Mark Ruffalo is an American actor who I had never heard of until I saw SCbell's post on the imdb board. I did some image googling and found that indeed, Mark Ruffalo could definitely pass as a Fred Ewanuick imposter. Can you guess which is Mark and which is Fred? (The answers are at the bottom of this page in case you need them.)



The following set of photos is just plain spooky. It looks like they're even wearing the same damn t-shirt!


Thanks to 'netter SCbell for suggesting Mark Ruffalo as a Fred Ewanuick look-alike.



Fred Ewanuick look-alike #2: Gary Burghoff

Gary Burghoff played Radar in M*A*S*H, and 'netter whistlepigfan swears Gary and Fred are dead ringers. Can you determine which is Gary and which is Fred? (I dare say this one is a bit easier.)



October 2008: Update! Check out this fan-tastic contribution from Danny in Australia!
Hello,

I was just watching 'Corner Gas' here in Australia and thought (like many others) how similar Fred is to Gary Burghoff from MASH. I did a quick google image search resulting in a link to your fan page. So I had a look and enjoyed the lookalikes and after finding a picture of Fred in an Army shirt, thought that I would offer this humble attempt at a Fred/Gary blend in the one photo. I hope you like it. Thanks for your fun site.

Great job -- thanks Danny!


Fred Ewanuick look-alike #3: Bille Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong is a member of rock band Green Day. Thanks to Leonie who signed the guestbook and pointed out his resemblance to Fred!





Fred Ewanuick look-alike #4: Bob McDonald

Anyone else remember Wonderstruck, the science tv show for kids that aired on CBC a decade or two ago, hosted by Bob McDonald? This particular shot of Fred instantly reminded me of Bob. Something about the squinty eyes and grey hair. Ok, this one may be a stretch, but there it is anyway. By the way, Bob is still in the science world, and you can hear him on CBC radio as host of the science show Quirks and Quarks.





Fred Ewanuick look-alike #5: Rick Mercer

Rick Mercer is a Canadian actor, comedian, and blogster. He's got the eyebrow thing going on, so I just had to include him here as a Fred look-alike.





Fred Ewanuick look-alike #6: Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean)

I can't believe I didn't notice the resemblance sooner!



6-April-2007: A-ha! So I'm not crazy: someone else (see April 5th 2007 entry) has also pointed out Fred's resemblance to Rowan Atkinson!


Fred Ewanuick look-alike #7: Vincent D'Onofrio

This one was submitted by Annie Jacques. Thanks for your contribution, Annie!





Fred Ewanuick look-alike #8: Sam Levine

Thanks to Aaron for this one! Sam Levine is an actor whose appearances include Freaks and Geeks, a tv sitcom that aired in 1999-2000.





Fred Ewanuick look-alike #9: Gev Manoukian

Holy moly -- this one jumped right out the minute I first saw Gev on this summer (2008)'s So You Think You Can Dance tv show.



Fred has said that he pretty much has to be drunk before he'll drag himself onto the dance floor, so here's your chance! If you ever wondered what Fred might look like if he were dancing his heart out, check out some of these videos.
Fred Ewanuick look-alike #10?

Got another Fred look-alike on your mind? Let me know.
