Gee Root, when was that picture taken again? 1947? That would make you about what now? About 80? 
You look pretty good for that age.

Wildroot -- You look like my Daddy in that second photo. He looked great in fedoras and wore those old suits (don't remember him wearing light trousers with dark jackets, though). And my father was almost a dead ringer for Cagney.
You look like early-to-mid-40's James Cagney in that photo. I am not kidding, look at him guys. Cool!!

In the second photo that jeff aged and altered, yes, I think your face, the way the light and shadow falls on it, gives you a Cagneyesque look especially in the shape of your face and the set of your mouth.
The hat sets it off, too. In some of his movies, he wore fedoras with some quite interesting snap brims. There is a photo of him in Public Enemy where his hat has a jaunty angle to it and he has an evil lear. I am not showing it because he does not look like you in that photo and you've already been compared to a gangster or two.
I tried to find a Cagney fedora with an interesting brim and found this one from GMen, a 1935 film. Hope I can get it to show:

It went and is now mine.
(the pants are now hemmed)
I traded him for something rarer that was more his style.
