Title: Jerry Seinfeld / Mark Knopfler

Hi all,

After people making comparisons of Knopfler looking like Seinfeld sometimes I was interested to read that Seinfeld is a fan :)

Cool read! Thanks.

I don't think Mark and Jerry are that similar, but Guy and Jim Carrey on the other hand. Notice the eyes. Oh, and Chet Atkins and George W Bush. Haha.

Never seen the similarities myself either. Perhaps from the late '70's. Poor Chet Atkins having that comparison ;)

And you look like a fine thing, Jerry.

MK circa 1984 looks a bit like him IMO.

Wow!   A gorgeous picture!   Thanks!  :-*  Only a passing resemblance to Jerry though!   :-\  Could be the nose!   ;D

I agree with Val, only a passing resemblance. But the suit ... Substitute the black t-shirt for a turqoise vest and he's like straight out of Miami Vice.
