In a world of celebrity look-alikes, I have the great fortune of being a dead ringer for Tony Kornheiser (though shorter and younger). I fact, I can trace his career by how often people stop me and ask, "Do you know who you look like?" (Yes, I do.) A couple of years ago I spoke at a career day at a local all boys Catholic high school, and afterwards one student approached me and asked if his friend could take a picture of the two of us together "So I can tell people I met Tony Kornheiser."
So I wrote Tony Kornheiser, Washington Post columnist and ESPN show host (Pardon the Interruption), to tell him how often people tell me I look just like him. I also sent him a photo.
No reply as of yet.
Does he get letters like this all the time? Is there an army of Tony Kornheiser clones poised to do his evil bidding? Did he look at my photo and fail to see the resemblance? Did the letter get lost in the mailroom of the Washington Post? Or — and this is the most likely — did he think it was a letter from some nut?
Stay tuned for further developments, should there be any.
