TYPICAL not stereotypical. As in which face would you expect to keep seeing over and over.

Mark McGrath without the blond tips would have the most common look.

I think all these people would be of mixed ancestry. I think Conan is of full Irish ancestry though.

Jenny McCarthy looks very familiar to me. Maybe cause of her Polish/Irish/German mix, I dunno.

Right, in some ways, I'd lean towards Conan being the most "classic Irish" in his look out of the four. Sure the red hair helps, but the eyes, the nose...sound of his voice. Seems like a common phenotype combination I see in somewhat of a majority of folks I meet of all Irish descent, or significant Irish descent who favor that lineage.

Ah, and the "Irish pumpkin head" as well.....haha...

(I can say that, I'm somewhat Irish)

Both Rose Byrne and Conan O'Brien are very typical for Irish people. Conan is a perfect example of (true) Gaelic Nordid (Keltic "Nordid" mixed with Cro-Magnid types native to Ireland, hence a super-light skin and super-light hair). Rose Byrne is absolutely gorgeous. Quite a perfect face IMHO. Can pass as Iberian with ease...

I've always felt like Rose Byrne looked typically Iberian.

Yes Rose is lovely. The most typical for Irish though would be Mark McGrath. The majority of Irish have his colouring. Conan is stereotypical for Irish but that look is a minority.

Rose Byrne looks British, and there is nothing "dark" about her. She would even fit in Scandinavia.

Iberians aren't all dark, but Rose Byrne is. I think she would fit better in Spain then Sweden.

I mentioned it because Sikeliot has someway managed to imagine that every brown haired and dark eyed Brit would fit better as Spanish/Portuguese.

Rose Byrne looks rather British to me primarily, and would probably be able to fit in many places in western Europe, Scandinavia being one of them.

Come on, if you didn't know her ethnicity would you say Swedish, or Spanish? She can easily pass as Iberian, she's dark for an Irishwoman.

LOL. No she isn't typical for Iberia. Stop Irish washing Iberians please.
