I promise I'm not a creep. much.
To explain... a saw a guy at Book Club and at once his face struck me as familiar. I had seen him before once or twice, but he seemed even more familiar than that, as if I'd seen a different person who looked like him, if that makes any sense. Maybe it doesn't. Anyway.
Not intending to become an actual member of Book Club, I was just there to hang around and eat the free cookies, so I sat there and stared at his face most of the time, trying to figure out who it was he looked like. Rest assured, I informed him of why I was staring at him when there was a chance to do so. I've since then gone to a few more Book Club meetings and continued to stare at him. I know this makes me sound like a creep. He and I have had discussions about who it is he might look like, and he hasn't seemed uncomfortable or told me to leave him alone, plus I'm a cherubic little white girl (much to my dismay), so I can get away with this sort of stuff.
Anyway, my current theory is that the person he looks like might be a bad guy in some live-action movie. There's something odd about the shape of his face, the set of his eyes, and the spacing of his teeth that resembles the common fictional depiction of an "evil" character. I've told him this as well, assuring him that I didn't think he looks like he is evil, he just looks like the evil stereotype, and he knows what I mean.
Of course, there are several stereotypical "evil" looks. He is not the tall, dark, and serious one, or the green and warty one, or the fat and piggish one, or the super-muscular one, or the slick and arrogant one. Pinpointing what he is is the hard part.
So. I've been trying to think of all the live-action movies and tv shows I've seen. It's not many. Anyone want to help? Or just call me a creep for staring at people; that works too.

JUMP TO TV TROPES FOR ALL YOUR VILLAIN-UNCOVERING NEEDS. -badumpish-
But that's honestly all I've got. xD Perhaps he looks like the sinister, Beware-Of-The-Nice-Ones sort of villain?
"I'm a cherubic little white girl (much to my dismay), so I can get away with this sort of stuff." AND AWW-- -shot-

Ten's not a cherubic creep. Ten's an observant hobbit. You could say I'm creep because very occaisonally I stare at Crow's picture because he reminds me of someone but I can never think who.

mm, tvtropes... I'm not sure what to look for, though. ><
"Perhaps he looks like the sinister, Beware-Of-The-Nice-Ones sort of villain?" -- No, well, maybe? He... it's hard to describe what it is about him. He's got pale skin and light-blondish, messy hair, but that's not the thing. His front teeth have a small gap between them, and his head shape is... unusual, almost pentagonal, and his eyes are... I can't begin to think of how to say it. I could imagine him sneaking around with a lantern and a switchblade. Not that he would do something like that. He'd prefer a machete.
Let's see... he wouldn't be a big physical threat... maybe some sort of two-faced advisor... not Grima Wormtongue, but maybe someone similar.
"Ten's an observant hobbit." -- I'm not observant.
"You could say I'm creep because very occaisonally I stare at Crow's picture because he reminds me of someone but I can never think who." -- mm, but that's a picture. It's okay to look at pictures. Making a shrine out of them would be creepy, though.
Wait a minute. Crow had that face that was...
Would you pm me the link, Cloud?

Make a shrine? I don't have the time or focus or materials to do that. Nor I am obsessive. Much.

andddd, bizarre as it is, I think Crow might be the guy. o.o

Speaking of shrines and pictures, I forsee myself somewhere in the future having a little pin board tacked all over with anime. >w> I already have a folder full of Soul Eater stuff. Ah, the first fandom that actually prompted me to start saving pictures to my hard drive ...
Hm. This is a tricky case indeed. Are you still talking to him frequently? =o
Also, would he look sinister if he were to wear ... glasses? =OOOO

Good grief no, Ten. I don't build shrines.

"Speaking of shrines and pictures, I forsee myself somewhere in the future having a little pin board tacked all over with anime." -- That sounds like you. I've never had a pin board... if I did, I bet it'd get cluttered fast.
"Are you still talking to him frequently?" -- Not now that school's out for the year. I might see him later in January.
"Also, would he look sinister if he were to wear ... glasses?" -- hah. no. He'd just look silly.
"I don't build shrines. " -- That's good.

Shrines are waste of time and effort in general.
