Heeerrre’s Johnny!
It happens so often there
no use in counting--
Literally, many thousands of times since I started wearing my hair combed back.
Putting on those
Ray-Bans doesn’t hurt either.
“Hey, you know who you look like…?”
“You sure you’re not him…?”
“Wow, I
did a double take when I saw you, are you related ….?”
There were quite a few times people actually stopped their cars,
in the middle of traffic, to wave and shout “hi” to Jack.
Also, when they think I’m not looking-----, I get all those
sideways glances of silent recognition.
Everywhere I go, heads turn,
they stare, they stop to talk,
my wife gets
annoyed with all the attention,
I’m just a ham, eat it up, and go with the flow.
In a Portland bar on Halloween,
it was pandemonium.
All I did was walk in wearing an old hooded sweatshirt,
put on my Ray-Bans and won first prize.
I
really did feel sorry for all those there who had spent
countless hours working on their costumes and makeup
only to
be outdone by Jack!
It was the year 2000, that I got rid of the part in my hair, combed it back, let it grow a little,
and with the support of my family & friends, started to pursue the look-alike business.
Since then I have been busy
with private parties, conventions, meet & greets with great photo opportunities, fund raisers, sales meetings, movie photo
double, commercials, MC work and the like--. I am available to travel to any location where a “Jack” sighting is appreciated!
Just
ask the thousands of stunned and excited guest at Universal Studios Orlando who mobbed ‘Jack’ or the many at the Rosen Plaza
Hotel who saw ‘Jack’ or …you get the picture.
I retired from real work in 2003 as an IT Project Manager, for a manufacturing
firm in NYC. I had lived there for 60+ years, and moved near Portland Maine, not too far from Boston, to be close to family.
Have
a look around the site and see for yourself the resemblance between Jack and me!
