Based on Hollywood movies a Buddhist monk is generally old and wizened, wrapped in a saffron robe with a bald head and usually sporting an inquisitive grin. Much like Yoda.

Lama Ole Nydahl (born March 19, 1941 near Copenhagen, Denmark) looks pretty much like a 60 something Dane in business casual clothes. The Dalai Lama looks like a Tibetan. My teacher was Korean, he wore a Do Bok, sweatsuit or business suit.

In brief, a Buddhist monk looks pretty much like the next person you meet or the face looking back from your mirror.

The wear robes. Usually orange, sometimes brown or red or even black. It's just because they want to wear the cheapest color the area has.
They have a shaved head to show that they have no attachment to their hair.
