Why do I see so many 20something young male performers that look remarkably like my son?

My son, brn 1981 seems to have many lookalikes in the arts. At first I thought it a funny coincidence but it continues to excalate and now my curiosity is piqued. These young men are all medium to dark skinned caucasion, with slightly heavy brows, somewhat broad noses and surprisingly have similar voices. The first one I noticed was the kid from "Wonder Years" who's name escapes me. More and more have shown up over the years.





Is this just due to the homogenous blending of so many ethinic and racial roots, or is it a government /alien conspiracy? (kidding)





But I am serious about the rest of the question. BTW, my son is also in the arts.

maybe get a dna test done to see if mich jagger is not the father.
Reply:its called advertising, they are selling a product, and right now the fad is people who look like your son. There are many other types out there, and the fads will swing at some point in reaction to the current one.
Reply:It's entirely subjective. Since your son is in the arts you are paying more attention to people in the arts. Now you notice that, "Hey, lot's of those guys look like my sonny boy." Lot's of them look like Gilligan or The Professor or The Skipper too but you have no reason to notice that.
