Astronomy Look-alikes, No. 43

It’s been a while since I posted a lookee-likee, so how about this one?

Has anyone else noticed that astronomer Dave Clements bears a strong resemblance to President Merkin Muffley, a character played by Peter Sellers in the motion picture Dr Strangelove? I wonder if by any chance they might be related?

   One of the greatest lines in movie history: “Gentlemen! You can’t fight in here – this is the War Room!”

     I also enjoyed the scene where the US Army and the USAF Base defense force are hammering away at each other with machine guns beneath a “Peace is our profession” sign.
