To promote Friday's opening of his "What Happens in Vegas" movie, actor Ashton Kutcher — who has an uncanny resemblance to Utah Jazz guard Kyle Korver — did a commercial interview that aired on Wednesday night's Jazz-Lakers broadcast on TNT.

Korver said he didn't see fellow Iowan Kutcher — an admitted sports fan who dropped "MVP" references of Kobe Bryant and the Lakers during the interview — at Wednesday's game.

"He probably doesn't come to the game on purpose to avoid questions about me," said Korver at Thursday's Jazz practice.

Kutcher told ESPN he doesn't hear the look-alike questions as much as Korver does.

"You know what? I hit the big stage before Kyle Korver did, so I don't think I get it as much as he does," Kutcher said. "He's a couple years younger than me."

But Kutcher is well aware of the resemblance. "He's my doppelganger," he said to ESPN about the Jazzman.
