Savoir-Faire  as in his catch phrase: "Savoir-Faire is everywhere!"

And Scatter:  Oh, I hope you don't look like Dale Earnhart . . . he is dead, you know.

Only PRE-mortem. I'd have to lose a LOT of weight to look like him as presently constituted I'm sure.

Sean, I bet it's fun to go to a mall or a theme park with you!! My brother  has a weaker version of your ability. He can spot celebrity look-alikes everywhere we go, but not as fast as you probably do. Sometimes he'll spot an obscure movie director look-alike or politician look-alike and we'll all look at him with a HUH??? But he's pretty dead-on with movie and tv stars. We really are entertained by his ability!
That's why I am pretty sure you keep your family delighted with your observational skills!  :)
We laugh until we can't breathe, when we all get together at a theme park!! It's good clean fun!

I don't know what it is.  Anybody can look at 2 people side by side and see resemblances.  I have images in my HEAD that I compare the person I'm looking at to.  If there's something about a nose, eye shape, a hairline-------I pick it up and compare it to the million images in my head.  It's an idiot savant skill. ::)

We play look-a-likes 24/7 in my clan.  Sometimes it's a competition.  And sometimes people get pissed if I name to many or beat them to the punch.  There are many kinds of look-alikes.  There's the straight up, the combo, the triple combo and anything above triple combo you try to stretch to SEVEN to give a person 'chameleon status'.  A comb or triple combo necessitates a name given to the person, e.g., one St Patricks Day, my buddy called an Eddie Money/ Eddie Munster/ Michael Keaton triple combo on a guy.  He became 'Eddie Munster-Keaton' .  I saw a combo that resembled my cousin Wade and his friend Chas-----so we named it Chade, then switched it to Was.  Naming is a skill all it's own.  People rarely name their own calls--------so everyone can get in on it.  Chameleons rarely look exactly like any ONE person----but rather a little bit like a whole bunch of people who may not look like each other at all... like this guy we saw in the bleachers at Fenway Park who had Babe Ruth, Jack Lemon and my uncle Bob in him + at least 4 others.  Sometimes the funniest thing is when everyone is piling look-alikes on a chameleon that are terrible and some people are scoring the call while others are condemning it.... all the while some poor freaking guy is just trying to get a bag of peanuts 20 feet away from you as you skewer him. 

Theme Parks and malls are what we call in the industry:  'target rich environments'. ;)

Gasport, UP--------glad you enjoyed it.  I'd love to see someone photo shop Ebersol's head on Harry's body.  I don't think anyone would notice.   ;D
