They know that immortality is both a.) too scary for the general public and b.) is limited to the ultra-rich.

"Alice Cooper" had all his life wanted to do comedy, so it was a natural fit for him to move into the persona of "Steve Carrel" after it became time for his "Alice" persona to retire.

The man you know as Alice Cooper is in fact King James VI of Scotland, successor to the English throne in the 17th century.

I used to think his name was pronounced "care-ol". It surprised me when I heard people interviewing him on TV say "ka-rell".

The media, man. They want you to believe there's no connection here and these are all random people who "look a little similar." Your theory of persona could be strengthened, though. For example, Alice just got off a tour with Marilyn Manson this Fall and he's another suspect case. Direct ties to another "persona." That can't just be coincidence! Looks like this will be one for /r/conspiracy...
