Going to add some more here
Sacha Baron Cohen and Leonard Cohen, though I think SBC almost looks more like young Dustin Hoffman.

There is also this guy... I think I can safely say Womanfromaroom agrees with me on this that there are some striking similarities.
1. the style of music (a kind of klezmer vibe going on)
2. the nose (ok so the teeth are a bit off)
3. The hairline.
4. The chuckle at 0:26

Indeed!

Maybe Leonard's overall performance is a little less - extrovert, but no less enthusiastic...

Ha ha that is so funny, The Count is my grand daughters fave character in the world and she says ah ah ah when she sees him.
I play Leonard in the house and she hears him all the time, no wonder she loves him, so yes burningviolin, I can see the similarities
Here is a photo of Jessica.

I submitted this to DrHGuy's blog a while back but I'm going to put it here too because I think the likeness is so uncanny. Behold - Mark Ronson and the young Leonard Cohen:
They even dress alike!

Last December there was a thread asking for suggestions as to who could play Leonard in a biopic.
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=13090&p=147496&hili ... on#p147496
I suggested Mark Ronson - not only does he physically resemble a young LC, and in the way he dresses,but also in his manerisms and overall demeanor.
He was born September 4th 1975.

Hadn't seen that thread, but yes, I agree

Further proof:
I think we could do better for Marianne than Ms Winehouse though

Mark Ronson (isn't that the guy, who blemished Dylan's Most Likely...?) really isn't bad looking.
Just give him a few decades and I'm sure, he will turn out looking great.

I think Mark Ronson looks very like Adam Cohen. Could be brothers...

Oh yes, he wrecked that song

But he's got a pretty face, so I can forgive him

months ago i was in a local book store in cottbus, germany
with a close friend of mine - she' s also a huge fan of mr.cohen but she doesn' t have an eye on german politics.
she saw a book with a picture of henning scherf, former mayor of bremen, on it and she asked me:
"what is leonard cohen doing on there?"

Actually I thought your Anthony Bourdain looked like Jeremy Clarkson and Burning Violin I thought your Telly Savalas looked like Mike Reid. I think Dustin Hoffman is the closes to him and Ron Paul looks nothing like him. Mark Ronson has a slight resemblance as does Sasha Baron Cohen and Maulwurf I have no idea who Henning Scherf is but our Henning has more of a resemblance to Leonard that Mr Scherf does
