Is this me or a double?

This morning I went to the clinic to have my blood pressure and weight measured formally (as if I don't do this on my own, but they need it for their records). One is advised to wait about ten minutes to allow the bp and pulse to settle down, and during this period, the nurse said that she watches a series on Netflix called 'Designated survivor' and that there is an actor there who looks almost exactly like me.

After having my bp measured (it was fine), I went home to look for this actor who appears on the left. In most of the pictures, the resemblance is amazing, so my wife decided to send this picture to our children, and captioned it as "Daddy when he had longer hair". Our daughter immediately wrote back that it isn't me, but when we asked her who it was, she replied "An AI version of Daddy"! I can tell that it's not me but it's hard to put my finger on what exactly is different. The nose isn't right and the hair on my forehead isn't so pointed.

Well, it's the actor Timothy Busfield, who is slightly less than a year younger than me, so our appearances match throughout the years. I remember seeing him in the series "thirtysomething", although I saw this only rarely. He had red hair then so there was less of a resemblance. He also appeared now and then in 'The West Wing' as Danny Concannon, the boyfriend of press secretary and then Chief of Staff C.J. Cregg. I liked his character but I never thought that we looked the same. 

Now that his and my hair is white, the resemblance is remarkable.
