It looks like he's cleaning house with the ladies, too.
According to the Daily Mail, a former hotel manager in Philadelphia is now living the high life in Las Vegas, and it's all because of his uncanny resemblance to Zach Galifianakis's character Alan from "The Hangover" trilogy.

38-year-old Thaddeus Kalinoski looks so much like Galifianakis that he is commanding $1,000 for an appearance at Las Vegas bachelor and bachelorette parties, and people are paying it.
Kalinoski said he didn't realize how much he looked like the actor until his wife left him, and the resulting depression -- complete with excessive eating and drinking, of course -- left him 20 pounds heavier.
"Then one day after not shaving for several weeks I looked at myself in the mirror and thought, 'Wait a minute - you look like Alan,'" Kalinoski said.
After trying out his new look in Atlantic City, Kalinoski said he and his friend decided to give Vegas a shot, and everything changed when he got there. People were buying him drinks and handing over their cash for photos, and girls were "making out with him in cabs and nightclubs."
In fact, Kalinoski was doing so well on the Vegas strip that producers hired him as a double in "The Hangover III." On top of the movie appearance and money, he said one of the biggest perks of the job is that he needs to maintain a belly, as he loves to eat and drink.
Oh, and then there's the gals.
