People may constantly joke that their nights out are similar to blockbuster franchise The Hangover, but for this guy, he actually re-lives the much-loved movie every single day, because he looks EXACTLY like Zach Galifianakis.
Zach, who plays Alan, is known for his famous fanny pack and having more hair on his head and face than any man should. However, for Thaddeus Kalinoski, his looks are how he makes a living - and his pay cheque isn't half bad, either.
Despite just being himself and not having to do much at all apart from to make sure he runs a comb through his beard, Kalinoski reportedly makes SIX FIGURES and has girls throw themselves at him every night. He also can't remember the last time he paid for a drink and literally gets treated like Hollywood royalty.

He literally just works that Las Vegas strip every single night, then wakes up without much memory of what happened the night before, sometimes with a monkey or a random baby. Yes, this kind of thing does happen in real life.
And Kalinoski even gets interviewed on a regular basis, as well. He said in a recent chat with BroBible about the first time he actually hit a Vegas casino in character: “I easily posed for a hundred photos and I took four girls back to my hotel room that night. There's a whole performance to the night now…”

“I don't remember the last time I paid for a drink,” he added. “I sit in VIP far too often for a dude who's not actually famous.”
And Zach himself even approves, despite him literally making shed loads of money because of his name. The doppelganger told CBS Philly: “[Galifianakis] loves the idea, he's very amused. He just said ‘;as long as you make sure it's clear you're not me.'”

The story of how Kalinoski actually fell into this career is pretty funny too - he was basically going through a failed marriage and didn't bother shaving or cutting his hair for a while. He then left the house in a pair of sunglasses one day and got asked in a bar by some pretty ladies if he'd pose for a photo with them...the rest is history!
