Seth Rogen meets his twin
I’ve been spotting a writer from The Hollywood Reporter out and about at red carpet gatherings for the past few days during SXSW film. He resembles Seth Rogen enough that I kept falsely exciting other carpet-baggers by pointing and gasping, “There’s Seth Rogen!” They would turn, cameras ready, then deflate. A lame gag, but you get bored standing around like herded barn animals.
At Monday night’s teeming red carpet for Rogen’s comedy “Observe and Report,” Rogen and the reporter finally came face-to-face. The first words out of Rogen’s mouth: “Hi, me!”

This article is truly fantastic. :) I too am an old friend of Dan’s. He deserves the recognition… Even if it is for looking like Seth Rogan. Priceless.

I’ve never been so proud of someone that I know for such a stupid thing. Great shot, and welcome to your 15 minutes Dan.

Great shot! I’m also a friend of Dan’s, and he told me that Paul Rudd mistook him for Seth, but I didn’t know he actually came face to face with his more successful (sorry, Dan) counterpart.
In addition to being a dead ringer for Seth Rogen, he’s also a pretty good writer: SlowlyGoingBald.com.

That is my friend Dan, and this blog is about the greatest thing I’ve ever read. Whenever we are out in LA people constantly tell him, “Hey, you know who you look like?” For you to capture this moment for all to see is truly a great moment in journalism.
