Look-alike, the "Mini-me" guy from Austin Powers. Maybe not very PC of me but that's what I see, and cause of death, OD from huffing green spray-paint.

You know, I think somewhere I've got that exact head, even down to the green spray, as part of a pair of Halloween "deely-bobbers." And I mean "part" literally...just the head and spring survive. They would have been late '80s vintage...well past the deely-bobber's moment in the sun (I recall first seeing them for sale at the Knoxville World's Fair). I know I never wore these,,,Those things were always too small for my massive cranium. I expect that I bought them to make something with the skulls, but I can't recall if I ever did.

I think it looks like Cletus the slack-jawed yokel from the Simpsons.
