Author	Topic: I saw Jerry Goldsmith today...or it could have been Elvis

Greg Bryant Oscar® Winner	I was at the doctor's office today. Leaving, just as I was entering was a man who could have been the spitting image of Jerry Goldsmith, right down to the glasses and pony-tail, except this man was probably 15 to 20 years younger. The only difference was this man's hair was still dark, not white like Jerry's. I kind of did a double take, and the guy stared back at me, probably thinking "what's the heck is wrong with this idiot?" (It was definitely NOT Jerry, unless he has the same doctor as I do...in Cincinnati.) It was definitely weird.

Luscious Lazlo Oscar® Winner	The Goldsmith doppelganger stared back at you because he RECOGNIZED you from this discussion board. He said to himself: "There he is! That's the doofus who watches VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TOILET. He has overdosed himself on Nelson doppelgangers and Crane doppelgangers. And now it's Goldsmith's turn." Mr. Bryant, the awful truth is this: I hired the Goldsmith doppelganger for the express purpose of freaking you out. Admit it, Greg. You're a goddam Seaview junkie. You've got an Irwin on your back. And it's about time that SOMEBODY administered some TOUGH LOVE for YOUR OWN DAMN GOOD. You'll thank me for it later, Greg.

H Rocco Oscar® Winner	Mr. Bryant: it was probably Dustin Hoffman doing research for some upcoming character.

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Rocco!!!!! FINALLY! Someone who agrees with me that Goldsmith looks like Hoffman! If I was going to cast someone to play Jerry Goldsmith in a film, it would definitely be Dustin Hoffman! Jeron

S Smith unregistered	Elvis impersonators RULE! Just go to Vegas, and you're bound to find one. Goldsmith impersonators, on the other hand, are hard to come by. Was he as short as JG is? And I really don't see the similarity between him and Hoffman. I actually saw Elvis - NOT an impersonator - about a year ago a local L.A. eatery. It WAS the king. NP: Elvis Goldsmith: "The Edge"

Gae Oscar® Winner	Greg, I saw a man today who was the spitting image of John Williams right down to the beard and black turtleneck jumper...the only difference was that he was 15 to 20 years younger; 6 inches taller and had dreadlocks! Oh, and he was also black!! Turn sarcasm mode off!BEEP Gae [Message edited by Gae on 02-11-2001]

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	There's a guy who comes into the store all the time who looks almost EXACTLY like Randy Newman (80s Randy Newman, before the cropped haircut). He looked so much like him that, even though it obviously wasn't him, I started keeping the Little Criminals album handy so I could play it upon his arrival. He didn't seem to notice, but several midgets were very, very upset with me. Shaun NP---Masada (original tracks)
