Is there any market for celebrity lookalike work? I have two sons who greatly resemble different celebrities--I mean as in pretty much dead ringers. One looks exactly like Russell Brand and one looks exactly like another actor, who is less famous.

I wish I knew. My 2nd son looked like Leonardo DiCaprio until he lost a bit of weight, I don't see it quite as much now but we still hear comments from people.

There definitely is a market for celebrity lookalikes. Google "Celebrity Lookalike agencies." There will be agencies on both coasts--probably not much in-between.

Russell Brand? Cool! Tell your son to practice his Cockney!

Thanks, Catherine. I will do this! He's on the West Coast, so. . .

I was going to say, need to do more then just LOOK like them. Looks can get you some jobs, but looking like a celebraty that has some skill (and you have a similar skill), will get you more jobs. I have three friends with famous names (great as a joke to give someone an autograph), and only one has the same skill as the other person (and he legally has to perform under a different name).
