Also bill maher and Craig Wasson always looked alike to me. I used to have an interest in celebrities who looked like eachother where I started to put it on my website but I never kept up with it (even tho i periodically get people who submit possible entries) I keep saying one of these days I'll expand it and add more but I never do.

For the curious:

lookalikes

The Baldwins are easy to tell apart:

Alec - the pretentious overly serious one, If it's a mainstream movie or an SNL episode, it's him.

Daniel - the fat crackhead one. If it's a really horrible movie ("Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man, Active Stealth")or an old episode of "Homicide" it's him.

Stephen - the stupid goofy one with blonde hair. If the movie (Bio-Dome, those TBN funded end times movies he turns up in, etc.)is worse than a Daniel Baldwin movie or if it's his one really great movie "The Usual Suspects" it's him.

Billy - the bland one left over by the process of elimnation. The Zeppo Marx of the Baldwins, then again this goober is married to China Phillips, the hot blond from Wilson Phillips.

Why did I just get the feeing I was reading the plot origination story for "Multiplicity"?

I have often been baffled by the difference between Mary Kate and Ashley.

I don't think mary kate and ashley are identical twins - but fraternal.

I loved the gunfight. Coburn and the guy he's  in the showdown with are walking to their opposite ends of the street.  Coburn walks around his horse ,  takes his rifle from the sheath and shoots the guy. I have always maintained that this is the most realistic gunfight in any movie.  Carol O'Connor was quite good in  it too.

I always mixed up Jon Favreau & Jeremy Piven for some reason.

They both star in PCU.

[JohnL]

When they were both younger, I used to mix up Dennis Quaid and Anthony Edwards (think Dreamscape & Gotcha).

[Cullen]

Here's another two:  Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton.  There's no real reason for it (and, in truth, it's not as big a problem as the Corburn/Marvin thing), but every now and then...

[John]

Is Bill Maher really Craig Wasson?

[ED]

That was Lee Marvin, wasn't it?  heh heh
Maybe theres a movie with BOTH of them!

I got the same problem with David Niven and Alec Guiness.
Always thought David Niven played the lead part in River Kwai. Not so, clearly...

How do these ancient threads get resurrected?
This one's almost a year old!  I found that I replyed to this last year -- it's like opening a time capsule . . .
That being said, I recall a story told by Charlton Heston:
It seems that Heston was walking near his home in Beverly Hills, when a woman stopped him on the street.
"Oh, I just have to say that I loved you in Spartacus!," she said, "And I just love your oldest boy's work, and think that wife of his, Katherine Zeta-Jones, is just the cutest thing . . .".  She goes on like this for a few minutes, then Heston stops her:
"Ma'm, I'm really sorry, but I think you have me confused with someone else!"
The woman gets taken aback, then says, very offended:  "Well, if you ain't Burt Lancaster, then who the hell are you?"
