The Royal Wedding Look-a-Like
Our resident ginger or resident evil as we like to call him has the good fortune of being one of the few gingers as hansom as Prince Harry of the United Kingdom of Crystal Skulls.
He decided he couldn’t stop bragging about how similar looking he was to Prince Harry so we decided to email a talent agency for him and see if we couldn’t get him some work.

I’ll keep it short and sweet. After being told I look like Prince Harry for the third time in 2 days, I will let you judge for yourself. Here are some pics. I live in TX. Any way for you and I to make some money this week? Let me know. Thanks.

Dave-
I have cropped out the other people in my photos (except for the black guy- I wanted to keep him in so I appear welcoming to a diverse audience). I assure you these photos are high quality since they were taken by a skilled photographer and definitely not one of my drunk friends. If these pictures for whatever reason do not suffice, I would be willing to come into your office for professional head shots. If you cannot provide this service, I will have to go to the Apple store like Johnny Drama on Entourage. Please let me know if there is anything else I can provide you.

Take a look at some on my site.
The better the photos, the better chance of booking. Other people and beer or liquor in your hand, in your photo are always distracting and less likely to bring a booking. Don’t spend a lot of $. Just rep yourself the best you can.

Is there an Apple store close to your office? They have instructional photoshop seminars on Monday nights and use a volunteer from the audience to practice photo effects. I will volunteer and take some pictures tonight without any beer or liquor in my hand. My African-American friend Mike stays in that one picture though, that is non-negotiable.
Should I try to portray myself as the bad boy Prince Harry, the rugby player Prince Harry, or the decorated soldier Prince Harry? The latter would require a trip to the Army/Navy store, so let me know what you think is best as soon as possible. Also, I refuse to do Nazi Prince Harry that was in bad taste and I will not dress up like a Nazi again. Thanks.

Ok, sounds good. I will send over the pics tomorrow(non-nude). Can you tell me a general range of rates for lookalikes? I realize it depends on the event, caliber of the lookalike, and other factors, but a ballpark figure would be nice. Have you had a lot of inquiry relating to the royal wedding?

Usually pays $200 or more per hour. Some inquiries are coming in
At this point we gave up on the prank and decided to let the ginger decide if he wanted $200 an hour to look like a royal. He said yes and appreciated our effort.
