My father is well known in his field, however, he certainly is no international celebrity.
However, his does look very much like Gen. H Norman Schwarzkopf with more hair then the general, and after Desert Storm, till this day, he can't go anywhere without people coming-up and asking for his autograph, and he won't hesitate to sign anything for anyone.
Back in 1992-93, I remember when Schwarzkopf's book came out, and the hard back was like $25.00+, and we were at a book store at one of the local malls over christmas doing some shopping, and he must have signed 100+ books in that store. In fact, within a hour the store sold-out of the book, and even the employees thought my father was really Schwarzkopf.
My brother & I were like, Pop, you can't do this, these people are buying 3 & 4 books for christmas presents, and having you sign them for others!! He said, boy's, I can do what ever the hell I please, and I'm just trying to help take the load off the real General.
I even stopped playing golf with him for years, which was very important to me, because it would take us 7+ hours to play 18, due to his autograph signing on the course. And god forbid you fly anywhere with him, once you enter the airport, your lucky to make it to your gate for your flight, due to all the people who want to take a picture with him since the camera phones came-out!
You wouldn't think a cardiovascular surgeon who was personally chosen by the King of Saudi Arabia to preform his triple by-pass, out of all the Cardiovascular surgeons in the world could act so foolish at times. However, he is a good man who like to have fun!!
