It’s time for another installment of the What Does Josh Look Like Quiz!
For those just joining us, it’s the fabulous game where people try to describe my appearance through references to pop culture figures!
The game began in high school, when someone said I looked a bit like Tim Robbins. College was a relatively WDJLLQ-free zone (except for that one drunken evening where someone said I looked like Boris Yeltsin — not my finest moment.)
Two days before graduation, while attending a taping of the Conan O’Brien show, a show producer pulled me out of the audience and asked for my contact information because (she claimed) I looked like an exact cross between Conan and sidekick Andy Richter.
In February 2002, a reader of this site, upon meeting me, proclaimed: “I thought you’d look little and Jewish, not like a Viking.”
In July 2002, I was told like I looked like a cross between Patrick Swayze and Bono. (My hair was a bit longer then.) In the comments to that post, you’ll see that someone threw a little Ewan McGregor into the mix.
A couple days ago, a longtime Friend of Crabwalk offered up her new theory. “Nathan Fillion, the lead guy in Firefly [pictures: 1, 2, 3]…cross Nathan Fillion with Ewan McGregor in Big Fish [pictures: 1, 2, 3]…seems to me you get something that looks like what I remember you looking like anyhow.”
She forgot to mention one key phrase: “except you’re way hotter.”
All thoughts welcome. Well, nice ones.

I see it. Does this mean we can call you Captain Tight Pants?
I think you look like Josh.

i also think you look a music fan and pretty sharp guy i sorta know, his name is josh.
aaron brooks went to uva..wahoowha!!
When we met, I wasn’t surprised by what you look like as much as by what you act like.
However, the Viking comment is dead-on.
I can see all of those a little, with the exception of the Boris Yeltsin one. You are much taller than I had anticipated, so I’d go with the viking one as well.
You’re a lucky man, Josh. I usually get Woody from Toy Story. The other day I got the ultimate insult- Bob Saget. I’ve always wanted to get “viking”- man, that’d be cool.
