It’s been a long day,
so let’s finish with a non-rewarded contest. Who is the man in the photo below? No reverse Google imaging!
And don’t forget that the “cat beard” contest, whose prize is an autographed book with a cat beard drawn in it, ends at 5 pm CST on June 10. We have only a handful of entries, so your chance of winning if you take a good picture are substantial.
That’s Chaplin, without makeup. Saw it elsewhere last week.
Same here. An early Chaplin before he adopted the moustache, I think.
I have no idea who that is but I guess he is British.
Charlie Chaplin?
Yes, Charlie Chaplin.
Almost looks like Sam Harris, but the photo itself looks too old for it to be him.

You’re thinking of Ben Stiller. 😀
Yeah the shoulders are a dead give away for it being Chaplin.
I like the cat photo better.
Hmm, no wonder Robert Downey Jr. was such a good pick.
“Who is the man in the photo below?”
Yours truly.
How do we go about submitting our cat beard/mustache pics?

Thank you, pictures have been sent!
Charlie Chaplin
He was born “sarf of the river guvnr”
THIS is where you can book a v. reasonably priced private tour of his early haunts [link at bottom] if the advertised public one is inconvenient or out of date
The most famous Swiss man after William Tell?!
I hope the first picture isn’t shown on CBC – it might be considered a bit suggestive.
Actually, I was going to suggest that the second picture was Prof Jerry in his late teens. Shows how little I know.
I’ve absolutely no idea but gosh those kittens are too cute!
It iz YOU, Jerry, taken a couple of months ago! But definitely you!
I had no idea and didn’t intend to answer but, never having done a reverse google image search, I was intrigued. Thanks for introducing me to this technique!
Yeah me too – I had to google what a “reverse google image search was”. I think I’m all technically advanced then I just feel like a luddite sometimes but I learned something new! 😀
Now that you’ve learned the basics, if you’re using Chrome, there are plugins that allow you to extend the menus, so a right-click on the image will offer the image search directly – https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/search-by-image-by-google/dajedkncpodkggklbegccjpmnglmnflm?hl=en
Awesome! Added to chrome!
Wow… I just felt like this photo was so familiar and Charlie Chaplin popped into my head. So when I came to the comments I was happy to see that others made the same guess. Looks like maybe I haven’t burned out all the brain connections yet. Now where’s that beer?
The actor John Francis Daley looks quite a bit like Chaplin in this photo.
