I looked into your profile to see your tastes in Film Music and I've gotta ask..Is that you in the photo? After looking at peoples (yours, specifically), avatars for years, in one's mind's-eye, you kind of think of them actually being their avatars, though this is not logical. I realize it makes no sense, but over time, you kind of think of the person as their avatars; well, some of them.
I was looking into your musical tastes because of your vast knowledge of the songs in 'Easy Rider'. And, well, your photo sort of answered my question. 
I think Dave was actually referring to the pic in your profile

Ya, I know, but I willfully ignored that, just as you itnored my question as to whether you kept that beard of yours. Which, ironically, makes you look like Roger Lloyd Pack! Awesome.
FWIW, the present profile pic has only been up a few months. For years before that, it was of Woody and Keaton from Annie Hall. I doubt Monty Dave thought I resembled either of those people (or maybe he did).

Trigger: "whats the name of the bloke who invented the Dyson vacuum cleaner?"

Trigger on his dad: He died a couple of years before I was born.
Rodney: Why do you call me Dave, Trig’? My name’s not Dave, Its Rodney.
Trigger: Are you sure?
Rodney: Yes, I’ve checked it on my birth certificate and everything, it's definitely Rodney.
Trigger: So what’s Dave, a nickname, like?
Rodney: No - you’re the only person who calls me Dave, everybody else calls me Rodney - and the reason they call me Rodney, is because Rodney is my name.
Trigger: Well, I shall have to get used to calling you Rodney from now on.
Rodney: Thank you.
Trigger: How long are you going to be, Baz? Me and Dave haven’t got all day.
Trigger: Problems, Dave?
Rodney: I don't want to talk about it Trig. You ever been wrongly accused of something?
Trigger: Yeah, once.
Rodney: Yeah, How did you get out of it?
Trigger: Well I didn't - I was guilty.
Rodney: As I was saying. On a cold, rainy night in Peckham, someone has arranged for you four to be here in in this room - together. No one knows who. And the most frightening aspect of the whole mystery - no one knows why! Now, think hard. Who would do something like that?
Trigger: Jeremy Beadle?
Mike: What name have they decided on?
Trigger: If it's a girl they're calling it Sigourney after an actress, and if it's a boy they're naming him Rodney after Dave!
Denzil: You ever thought of getting married, Trig?
Trigger: No, I haven't met the right person yet, but I've always had this sort of image of my perfect woman, sort of my dream girl.
Denzil: What's she like?
Trigger: Oh she's nothing to look at, very plain, little scar on her chin where she had a wart removed.
Trig: This old broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles
Trigger: Sometimes I think about the future. I don't want to end up a lonely bachelor like my cousin Ronnie. Then again he always had a strange taste in women.
Denzil: In what way?
Trigger: Well, they were men!
Rodney: Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home.
Trigger: You've got a hat now, have you, Dave?
Del: Never give up on people, Rodney. I know that most of the time they don't seem to understand. But when you're in trouble and you cry out for help, some will always be there. Trigger's cousin Cyril's a perfect example. He owed 500 quid on his mortgage.
Trigger: They were gonna be thrown out on the street the following day. he was very worried about it.
Mike: So what happened Trig?
Trigger: He drove out to Beachy Head. Parked about five foot from the edge of the cliff.
Albert: What, he was gonna drive off it?
Trigger: Yeah! He just sat there for a couple of hours, his head resting on the steering wheel. People tried to talk to him out of it but he was too depressed to listen.
Del: But then, and this is what I mean about people, Rodney, they had a whip-round and got him his 500 quid.
Rodney: No! Who held the whip-round?
Del: All the passengers on his bus.
Denzil: That's Derek Trotter in there, not bloody Einstein!
Trigger: Del knows what he's talking about. And I don't see what the Beatles' manager has got to do with it anyway.
Del: It's closed!
Trigger: (checks watch) Well, it's a bit late, innit?.
Del: What d'you mean "a bit late"? You said it was open 24 hours a day.
Trigger: Yeah, but not at night!
Rodney: So ummm... what you doing here, Trig?
Trigger: Well Del said he'd give me a lift to the pub.
Rodney: Oh, right. But you live closer to the pub than us.
Trigger: I know.
Rodney: In fact, you have to walk past the pub to get to this flat.
Trigger: Yeah? But Del said he'd give me a lift!
Del: This is my punishment, isn't it? Spending the rest of my life in this wheelchair.
Trigger: Still, it could have been worse.
Mike: How?
Trigger: My gran had one with a squeaky wheel.

I just hope your hair is close to the perfection that is Peter Graves.

The beard, That Neil Guy: Do you still have the beard? Don't wait for the translation!
Sadly, no. I can't really make it past a week or two without having to blow my nose and remembering how awful that process is. Sorry, too much information.
But I am considering trying again this winter. We'll see. I have to be in a show in December, and need to be clean-shaven for that, but I may let it grow after Christmas. I'll try to remember to keep you posted, Mr. Phelps.

I am greatly amused that anyone would think Jim's picture was actually him.
I've had drinks with Mr. Phelps, and the picture is not far off, believe me.
He likes beer i presume.
Just like his buddies.

How it didn't become a hit outside the UK is beyond me.
