Title: Actors/Actresses Who Look Alike
Post by: Ash on August 30, 2004, 04:33:10 AM
Susan has this feature on her website.
A section showing pics of actors and actresses who bear an uncanny resemblance to one another.
Check it out HERE. (http://www.geocities.com/smvgrey/deadringers.html)

I am huge into Law & Order and while watching several other movies lately, I kept thinking that the actor I was seeing onscreen in those movies was Christopher Meloni who plays Detective Stabler on Law & Order SVU.

Actually it was Elias Koteas.
He's in "Some Kind Of Wonderful" and he also played Casey Jones in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".
He was also in "The Thin Red Line" as the officer who refuses Nick Nolte's orders to take his men and charge up a hill occupied by Japanese soldiers.

Here's a pic of Meloni:

And here's a pic of Koteas:

Damn if they don't look like twins!

Are there any other actresses/actors out there that you think look alike?

He was in Collateral  Damage with Schwarzeneggar and he was bald  (which is natural), but  he looked like he'd aged about  30 years  since TMNJ. It doesn't look like life has been good to the man.

Since I guess we're restricting this to just actors:

Peter Strauss and Peter Coyote

maybe i'm nuts but i always thought Craig wasson looked like Bill Maher

(http://www.rowlandharris.com/actors3.jpg) (http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/14/television.kimmel/story.bill.maher.jpg)

Took me awhile to figure out the host of the polital show was not the same guy who played the doctor in "Nightmare on elm Street 3"

I've always thought that Neve Campbell and Holly Marie Combs had similar features.

Also, Shiri Appleby (Roswell) and Emmanuelle Chriqui (various movies) looked like sisters. In fact I was watching something Chriqui was in and for the first several minutes I thought it was Appleby.

Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs) and Timothy Balme (Dead Alive) look the same.

Jenny McShane (Shark Attack 1 & 3) and Samantha Mathis (Broken Arrow) look a lot alike.

Dave, what do you mean "what the hell was the deal with Body Double?!?"

Yeah it's a screwy, shallow and dumb  film, but not De Plma's worst. It's also another of De Palma's "homages" to Hitchcock, mostly the voyerism of "Rear Window" with some of the seedy elements of "Frenzy" thrown in to sex it up. De Palma's filmmaking is mostly style, visuals, borrowing from other better directors, and showy but shallow acting. For every good film he make like "Sisters", "Carrie", "Phantom of the Paradise", or "The Untouchables" he has many more like "The Fury", "Mission to Mars", "Snake Eyes", "Carlito's Way", or "Mission: Impossible".

What's funny is to see Craig Wasson playing Mark Twain in a TV movie version of "The Innocents Abroad" from the 80s. It's like the "Cheers" episode where Woody is playing Twain.

Am I the only person on the face of the earth who thinks Tom Cruise and Montgomery Cliff look alike?

I always thought Vincent Price and Eve Arden looked eerily alike...it  has bugged me for years.

While it's not so apparent nowadays, at the time Leslie Ann Warren first started her film career, she looked enough like the already-established Susan Sarandon as to be confused with her.  
Wish I had some appropriate pics to post.

this is way off, but as i was submitting myself to the entire season of 90210 i realized that tori spelling and brian austin green have a similar look. maybe its just one of those things where if you are by the person long enough you pick up on certain qualities.

Hey I thought that too. Seen some pics that really match up between Cruise and Clift...more so when Clift is being serious....they look the same, however;  I dont get them confused as I do with, say:
William Hurt, Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels...theres another one too but cant remember who...Gerard Deparduie? maybe?
The worst is the Bill P's......drove me nuts one night trying to remmeber who was Bill Pullman and who was Bill Paxton.

That's easy;

Bill Paxton = Hudson in Aliens, "Game over man! Game over!"

Bill Pullman  = Lonestar in Spaceballs, "It's Yogurt!"
