* German-American actor Eugene Weingand banked on his [[LorreLookalike uncanny resemblance to]] Creator/PeterLorre to try and kickstart his Hollywood career in the 1960s, even legally changing his name to "Peter Lorie" and "Peter Lorre, Jr." Two lawsuits, one by Peter Lorre and one by his brother Andrew, managed to block the name changes.

* Italian comedy ''Film/{{Paparazzi}}'' (1998) is a sort of satire of the star system, and as such has cameos from many real celebrities but also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqBvM9jkPAA a scene where]] several impersonators of actors and sportsmen are recruited for a party. There's also the classic ElvisImpersonator though he gets dismissed for obviously not being a present-day celebrity. Also the Schumacher look-alike can't drive, while the Michael Jackson impersonator shows off his dance moves in another scene and could almost pass for the real MJ... until he talks, anyway.
