Sigh.... yes. yes. I get that all the time. The resemblence is even closer in person. To make matters worse, I am 6' 2" tall, and I have a naturally deep voice similar to Michael's (hence my work in voice-overs).
At conventions and stuff when I just want to quietly shop for MEGOs or other items on the dealer's floor, I get stopped constantly with, "Mr. Dorn, may I have your autograph? Mr. Dorn, I'm such a big fan!! Can I take a picture with you?" When I speak up (in my natural voice) to explain that I'm actually NOT Michael Dorn, some of these folks flatly refuse to believe me! They think I'm some snobby celebrity who wants nothing to do with his fans!
One guy once even asked me to say "You have no HONOR!" out loud. When I grudgingly accomodated him, He walked away muttering, "That's Michael Dorn. I don't care what anyone says"
I was only slightly miffed about being referred to as a "that's", like if I were a darn statue or something.
These types of things used to happen more often years ago when the show was on. But occasionally it'll happen even now.
Anyhow, I'm flattered that some think I resemble such a good-looking guy (I think Michael's always looked sharp). But I can assure you, I am not him, and I certainly don't have his money!
well, i was going to ask for your autograph, but i guess that is out, huh?
or here's another one..."Really loved ya in the santa clause flicks, as the sandman"...there ya go..ok, im done, before i really get into trouble...
but seriously, you really could pass for him, when he was younger....and really, getting bugged all of the time, would kinda suck. you should have just signed the stuff and charged them for their ignorance..lol...
But I decided that with my luck Dorn and his lawyers would come after me... or slap me with a cease and desist... or hit me on the head with a Klingon batleth or some crap...
, then ya would be looking like that...cross eyed and all...lol..that would suck..
look a likes, get paid good money, i bet....you should do it...make the rounds, the bucks, etc...always a back up plan, and would give ya extra money to buy more megos....

Here's me dressed as a Jedi. We were playing around with dimmed lights to see how well my lightsaber photographed. You can't see much other than my face and the blade, but I like it.

Here's me with Al Feldstein. He used to illustrate a lot of EC Comics. He was a lot of fun to talk to, and sang to me while he signed a print.
Hey! Where's the waiter with the water for my daughter?
