Fun with Doppelgängers - Le Donne

Somebody sent me this side-by-side of New Testament scholar Marion L. Soards and Alex Trebek. I have to be honest, I'm not sure who is who. Regardless, can we all agree that "Marty" must be among the most handsome men in the field?

I've never had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Soards. Does anyone who knows him well know if he does a Will Ferrell impression?

This brings up another important matter for you students of New Testament: Are there any other good doppelgängers in our field?

Chris Skinner writes on FB:

I am often told that I (in both appearance and mannerism) strongly resemble a white Sinbad (with whom, as it happens, I share a birthday).

In college, many of us thought that the esteemed Prof. Keith looked like the rapper Eminem, what with his bleached blond hair and Kentucky swagger. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from that era, an I doubt Chris will share.
