"Jon, the British Actor"

One of the interesting things about the internet, is that each site wants to be THE place to find information. They all strive to have the most information, the most links, the most resources. Unfortunately, sometimes they try so hard, that in the process, they get that information totally wrong.

Now, it's interesting to note -- being the curious person that I am -- how many of these "informational sites" there are out there that have -- of their own accord -- listed me as a top celebrity. Seriously, they do. And, I am usually always listed in the very same directory as the real top celebrities such as Ben Affleck, Bruce Willis, Halle Barry, etc.

Well, that said, I was amused when I recently came upon this directory's top celebrity listing. I'm not really sure, though, where Womendex.com got their biographical information. Unfortunately, it's a little off. :)

Jon Baas biography:

Date of Birth: February 4, 1978

Bust-Waist-Hips: 89 - 52 - 91
Shoe: 35
Eye Color: Gray
Hair: Blonde
Agencies: New York - IMG
Height: 174 cm

Apparently, according to their information, I'm a British actor working in New York. I'm 5'7" tall, and was born in Austin, Texas... I am actually American-born (Minnesota) on the 18th of the month, working in Milwaukee, and 6'1" tall. My eyes are also green/hazel, not gray. Yeah, just a wee bit off, but nonetheless quite amusing. And the odds that this is another professional actor named Jon Baas? Quite slim.

So, I guess I'd better start working on my English accent then, eh?

Have a blessed day, and until later,

Your American actor friend,
-Jon
