My Heritage Celebrity Matcher

We discovered one of the coolest websites while watching Best Week Ever. It's called My Heritage, and it seems to be mostly family tree type stuff, but they also have photo face recognition. The part that caught our attention was the celebrity face matcher, so of course we had to try it. You have to register to use it, but it's free.
All you do is upload a headshot, and it will tell you the 10 celebrities you most resemble. So who was my #1 match?

It's like looking into a mirrorThat's right, Billy Zane! I guess it could be worse, but I have to tell myself that it keys in on the mouth and eyebrows more than the baldness. In real life, people mostly tell me I look like Tom Brady or Matt Damon (though not in that picture above). None of those two made the list according to My Heritage. Here's their top 10:
1. Billy Zane (66% match)
2. Ted Turner (63%)
3. David Seaman (62%) This is the only match that I can honestly say I've never heard of. He looks a little porn-starry, so this might be him.
4. Ben Stiller (61%)
5. Dennis Quaid (59%) I never noticed a resemblance, but I guess I see it.
6. Wentworth Miller (59%) Kate thinks he's a hottie, but unfortunately Prison Break is one of the dumbest shows I've ever seen.
7. Hayden Christianson (54%)
8. Hillary Swank (54%) Yes, she's a chick, but she played a dude that one time.
9. Billy Bob Thorton (54%)
10. Ralf Schumacher (53%)

Now, if you want high comedy, Ted Turner was Kate's #2 match (59%), so maybe we'll have kids that look like insane media moguls. She also got a 54% match to Billy Zane.

You'll note that I bear a 54% resemblance to Hillary Swank and Billy Bob Thorton- Does that mean I look like their hypothetical child? Awesome!

Anyhow, I highly recommend you check it out.

I have thought you look like ben stiller for a long time. I agree #3 looks like a porn star.
