Perusing The Ed Zone’s sister site, Scooby Speak, I came across this post from Jen Pope. JPo (to those in the know) provided a link to MyHeritage.com – a website which among other things, features a free facial recognition software program that allows the user to upload a picture of their face, perform an analysis and provide them with feedback on which celebrity they resemble.

That got my neural synapses sparking. I decided that over the next couple weeks, The Ed Zone would play host to a celebrity roll call. Pulling faces randomly from the cast of characters that dominate my circle of friends, I came up with the following idea.

Each day, this site will feature a select Scoob. We will lead off with a few kind words about that day’s subject coupled with a photo. I will then offer up my prediction of which actor should play that person in the fictional Scooby film – based solely on physical likeness. Behind the scenes, I’ll run them through the program and then post a side-by-side comparison of the person and the celebrity that MyHeritage feels most resembles said Scoob. Finally we’ll follow up with one last comparison – which celebrity should actually play the Scoob – based on personality. At that point, I encourage everyone to comment away on the target of the day.

I have drafted a list of ten — UPDATE: added two more for 12 — subjects. If this takes off, I’ll keep going with it, adding more peeps to the perp line. The order is as follows:

Friday April 7th Mark McGrath
Saturday April 8th Joe Dolat
Sunday April 9th Andi Humphries

Monday April 10th Ed Humphries (Guest Writer – Mark McGrath)
Tuesday April 11th Jen Pope
Wednesday April 12th Rich Gobeil
Thursday April 13th Kathie Schaaf
Friday April 14th Chris Kiatos
Saturday April 15th Justin Smith
Sunday April 16th Dana Boudreault

Monday April 17th Oliver Kardos
Tuesday April 18th Sean O’Brien

Feel free to Comment on this post with your predictions. Get 7 right, and I’ll bring you to Dairy Queen. (Damn’t, I’m bringing someone to DQ before this year is out.)

First up, Mook Daddy.
