I came across this website named My Heritage. Its an amazing site and I'm sure it definitely keeps you hooked onto it. Its got a feature called "Match Your face with the Celebrity". I tried it and I got some cool results..
So happy to know that I look like Nick Carter of Backstreet Fame!!
Why don't you try it once and see which actor/actress is lucky to look like you ;-)

Hey while its cool it is not very accurate.
To test it I uploaded many pics of Emma Watson (who else! ;-)).
First I tried this pic.
http://www.soundoffcolumn.com/images/emma-watson.jpg
It showed a 97% match with Emma Watson.Good.
But when I uploaded this pic it refused to recognize it!

And when I uploaded this pic it showed a 64% match with Emma Watson!

Similarly i tried many other actors' faces.
I can understand the limitations of face recognizing and it does recognize some actors' faces. But it is not accurate.
While it cant match actors' own faces how can it match your face with them?
So dont be too happy and leave Nick Carter alone!!
@ Ashwin : No image processing algorithm in the world is 100% accurate dude.Its a folly to expect an algorithm to detect the faces accurately. Its just not possible..
97% match is more than just awesome. As a signal processing student, I am more than willing to know what that algorithm is.
Next case its 67% because the system doesn't have that photo in its database..
The results you get out of image processing, speech processing etc are statistical. Noise can never be eliminated. It can only be minimised.
Nevertheless, I admire your curiosity and interest in trying out. I see a good scientist in you... ;-)
How did you know, I loved Emma Watson? (Ha Ha)
Did some research on your orkut profile! (read: ideal match):-)
"Sorry, no faces detected. Click here to try another photo."
This is what I got with my photo. Isn't it cool???
@ Ashwin : Hmmm, you have done good amount of research indeed. Now I can definitely see you as a Researcher.
@Sattvik : Dude, its definitely not cool. Its stochastic dude. Anything can happen :(
