It's fruitless to be mad at him for gifts he may have, many of which are ultimately outside of his control. The jealousy isn't about, "He's a good looking guy" or whatever, but more about, "I'm not comfortable with my own looks, and he reminds me of that."
I'm not going to say you're better looking, more charming, and more talented, because I don't know the dude, but I will say that you -are- good looking, charming, and talented, and it's up to you to use those gifts to achieve what you want. He doesn't really figure into the picture at all. So worry about you, and being a good person, and a good actor, and let him do the same. Throw away the parts of this competitive invention that drag you down into the negative. If he can do something you can't, respect it and honor him for it. Meanwhile just keep trying to improve yourself, and if you can learn something from him, be thankful for it.
Stepping off my soapbox: I miss you. :)
