This lookalike is absolutely uncanny - so much so that we find it hard to believe that one wasn't based on the other! Simon Helberg may or may not look like Victor Perkins from 'Despicable Me' in real life, but when he got into character as Howard Wolowitz in 'The Big Bang Theory,' it looked like the animation had come to life. Wolowitz was the stereotypical nerd in a show that was already full of them, somehow managing to look even more socially awkward than the rest of them. Helberg played the role to perfection.
In 'Despicable Me,' Perkins - who's also known as his alter ego 'Vector' - is every bit as intelligent as Wolowitz is in 'The Big Bang.' He's also just as socially awkward. Where Perkins differs is that he has all the confidence that Wolowitz lacks, although he uses that confidence for evil rather than good. Perhaps it's for the best that Wolowitz never developed an attitude!
