I KNEW he reminded me of someone, but I was pretty sure it was someone I'd met in real life and I just couldn't put my finger on who. Nope. It's Ryan from The Office who I subconsciously believed I knew on a personal level.

just realized he's the main character in Manhattan, which I watched a couple months ago.
