Have you ever...?

...seen a person who you thought looked like an AIO character?

Whit's wiping down the counter, Connie's mopping the floor, and the kids are sipping on their milkshakes. If you want to talk about Adventures in Odyssey the radio drama, this is the spot to do just that!

Have you ever...?

For example...I remember when I first met a friend of mine a while back, thinking she looked just like the way I picture Aubrey.

It was kind of freaky...

I've met a few people who really reminded me of Jason at first.

I went to college with a smart guy. I thought he looked like he could be Eugene. I told that to someone else. She agreed.

I also once saw a guy who had long red hair that just about covered his eyes. He made me think of Eugene.

Also, when I used to watch Diagnosis Murder, Dick Van Dyke reminded me of Whit. He doesn't look anything like the artist's version of Whit, but his voice and grandfatherly look seemed Whit-like to me :).

What a good choice for a future replacement of Whit.

It's like...just between Hal Smith and Paul Herlinger...and not too much like one or the other.

I'll have to relisten to his voice to be sure, though.

We go to church with a guy that looks just like Eugene. But instead of red, it's brown-ish...

It was so weird though, because the other day (actually, it was last sunday, same thing), we were at a restaurant called "Steak 'N Shake" and there was a guy sitting there that looked just like Top. He's not from AIO, but whatever. :P I felt the need to post that.

I knew someone who looked just like what I pictured Katrina would look like. I've also known people who looked like what I picture Tom to look like, but not too many people that match the artist's description.

He is indeed still alive, though I'm not sure what he's been up to lately.

A friend of my old youth minister at church looked and sounded exactly like Mitch. His name also happened to be Mitch.
