This election season, it's been hard to avoid all the Donald Trump comparisons: a Troll (http://theawesomedaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/donald-trump-funny-look-alike-21__700.jpg), a tub of butter (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/3i21qk/this_tub_of_butter_looks_like_donald_trump/), etc. For Ted Cruz, the comparisons are far fewer. Not completely nonexistent, but fewer.
For instance, Cruz is a dead ringer for the villainous character named Philippe Cheynet from 2013's "Barbie & Her Sisters in a Pony Tale." The resemblance, which was first noticed by Brian Gaar in 2015 (https://twitter.com/briangaar/status/645235000925753344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), really is uncanny.
See for yourself:

Other people on Twitter seem to agree (https://twitter.com/SunnyPaulaL/status/692928443177156610) with Gaar, which makes sense, seeing as this animated man and Cruz seem to bizarrely similar. To drive home the likeness further, Deadspin video director Tim Burke created a perfect video layering Cruz's words over various clips of the animated character (http://gawker.com/this-creepy-animated-barbie-movie-villain-is-ted-cruz-1761924418).
Plus, we already know Cruz plays with a Barbie cash register (with his daughters, of course), so maybe he really is the scheming, horseback-riding Philippe. Stranger things have happened.
Heidi Cruz painting a picture of Ted Cruz as a father, gets laughs when she says he plays with Barbie cash register w/ his daughters.

But if Cruz isn't really Philippe, he's probably just Kevin from "The Office." (http://mashable.com/2016/02/18/ted-cruz-kevin-office/#yoA.83XyUaqU)
