John Mark Karr and The G Man: Separated At Birth?

After a few days of being sufficiently creeped out by alleged murderer/confirmed whack ball John Mark Karr, I finally realized who he reminded me of: the mysterious G Man from first-person shooter Half-Life. Since we're talking about the disturbing murder of a 6-year old girl we'll refrain from anything even remotely related to light-hearted discussion. We will however give credit where credit is due: Valve clearly has some of the best character artists in the business. They know creepy.

It's alarming how much JMK looks like a younger, spindlier G Man. Add an extra twenty years, a thicker head of hair (with widow's peak), and considerable amount of alien invasion induced stress, and we'd not be shocked to see him accessorized with a brief case during our next headcrab battle.

Thanks, Andrew, for helping us figure this out.
