This is not an act

Being active and highly visible in the world of instant messaging, I get some interesting and sometimes amusing messages from complete strangers (with an emphasis on “strange”). Today I had the following conversation with an Ingrid who seemed to think I was impersonating some actor:

Ingrid says:
    happy new year
Jeff says:
    hello and happy new year to you too
Ingrid says:
    hi, ….sorry im asking but why you use that photo? inst (sp) you
Jeff says:
    yes, that’s me
Ingrid says:
    no!. is an actor!
Ingrid says:
    well im have dinner, bye!
Jeff says:
    no, it’s me

In the words of William Shakespeare, “All the world’s a stage…” I’m curious though; what actor does she think my display picture looks like?
