I have seen 2 Goldsmith lookalikes in my days. The first when I lived in Burbank there was a guy who always walked on Olive Ave, close to D.B. Coopers who sported the Pony Tail and the dark glasses and who had a dog on a leash as well. And this was around 1998 - 2003 when Jerry was still with us. Could it have been him?
The second Goldsmith lookalike sighting was in Campbell California, close to the school where I work near San Tomas Blvd. and Campbell Ave. I'd see a guy looking much like the one described above, again with a dog. I was tempted in both cases to pull over and ask the guy if he had ever heard of Jerry Goldsmith and if I could take a photo with or of him. Never did.
I'm just wondering if these guys were in fact Jerry Goldsmith admirer's to the max who just wanted to look like him and be him, thus taking on his look. There are crazy people in the world like that. Most likely they just coincidently had his look and knew nothing of him.
I couldn't find the thread with composer lookalike photos but I saw this guy in downtown Boca Raton today. He's even got the right ensemble!
Jerry always seemed to favor the white tennis shoes over sandals though . But the guy in the photo especially from the side profile is almost spot on. And it looks like he's even wearing a bracelet on his wrist just like Jerry used to.

That's self-proclaimed gantse macher "Murray Goldsmith," Jerry's cousin. Don't let the sandals and pony tail fool you, actually a major Boca Raton alter kocker, Murray has been known to steal all the packets of Sweet & Low off the tables during the early bird hour at Red Lobster. The only thing he's known to compose are long lists of things to kvetsh about, like the humidity and all the goyim at the mall. Mention to him his late, alrightnik cousin, Jerry, and all you're likely to hear back is a good "Gay Kocken Offen Yom." He prefers John Williams.
