Mickey Rooney Twin?

...quite possibly so. I'll let you be the judge.

First some background for you. I'm a big fan of the movie Breakfast At Tiffany's. I could watch it over and over. In this movie, Mickey Rooney (uber white guy) plays "Mr. Yunioshi" (asian guy). This character cracks me up.

Well, Alex likes to make this one face when he's being cheesy, silly, or REALLY happy. The first time I saw it, I said to the hubster, "Miss-a Golightly! Once again, I must protest!" and about fell over laughing. Hubs knew what I was talking about right away and now we laugh about it every time we see him making that same face.

I was able to catch a picture of Alex (aka Mr. Yunioshi) in all his glory. I also found a video on YouTube of Mr. Yunioshi clips. Compare the 2 and tell me your thoughts. (watch for his smile around 1:10 on the video)

Do you think Alex could be the next Mr. Yunioshi? (say...in a play or a remake of the film)
