    I'm talking about the ones who are so similar you think they are the same guy but it ends up being someone else. For instance:




    I've confused Clive Owen from the film Inside Man
    [​IMG]

    with Gerard Butler from the film 300
    [​IMG]

    I've confused Michael Pena from the film Shooter
    [​IMG]


    with Jacob Vargas from the film Devil
    [​IMG]

    I thought the guy in Battleship, Taylor Kitsch
    [​IMG]




    was the same guy from Warrior and who played Bane, Tom Hardy
    [​IMG]








    For years I thought Maura Tierney from Liar Liar and Insomnia
    [​IMG]

    was none other than Jennifer Aniston from Marley & Me

    Character actors:

    Stephen McHattie on Left

    Lance Henrickson on Right

    I've probably seen a dozen movies and said to myself, "Hey, Lance Henrickson got another job, good for him".............and it ended up actually being Stephen McHattie.

    Both guys have a ridiculous amount of credits.

    I once mistook Shia LaBeouf for a bag of tampons and Paul Walker for a bag of rocks.

    I once saw an actor play a younger Native American Indian in a movie and got excited because it wasn't Adam Beach................turned out it was Adam Beach.

    Also when they were younger I used to confuse Jeff Daniels with Bill Pullman and Bill Pullman with Aaron Eckhart. Also I used to confuse young River Phoenix with young Leonardo DiCaprio.

    and Mark Ruffalo who played Bruce Banner in the Avengers were the same guy.

    Im pretty good with actors and putting a name to the face...

    Question, do you think Strong and Garcia look a like or you mistake them? I couldn't imagine confusing one for the other in a movie.

    Do you guys see pictures with the posts I made? Because I made this thread at work with pictures and for some reason when I look at this thread at work the pictures are there, but when I look at it at home there are no pictures. What gives?

    no i can't see anything but red xs.

    Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes
    Harrison Ford and Dennis Quaid (this is the only one I truly get confused on, the other ones I just think they look alike)
    Ray Winstone and Brendan Gleeson
     
  14. Nobleart

    Nobleart Narwhal King

    Nah, I don't see them either.

    Nobleart Narwhal King


    Yeah, Isn't Strong like a Foot taller then Garcia?

    Saw this guy, Jon Foster in a movie with Russell Crowe called "Tenderness".


    [​IMG]



    I thought he was John Krasinski of "The Office" in serious mode, until I saw the end credits.

    [​IMG]



    In hindsight I should have known better. I can't find a single fucking image on Google in which Krasinski isn't smiling or smirking.


    Foster could also pass as a younger Matthew Modine.

    Nope, but as soon as Strong opens his gob you cannot mistake him as Garcia - vice versa

    Looking at this photo you'd swear this was Emma Stone from Zombieland right?

    Wrong! Her name is Emma Lung she's from Australia and she stared in a film called Crush.

    This is Emma Stone from Zombieland. Yeah, I know it fooled me too.

    watching Collateral I thought Ruffalo was Michael Pena.

    this one is just ridiculous. they should do a movie where they both vie for the same woman and she can't tell them apart.

    ray romano and zach braff is also disturbing.

    Seriously? Pena's like way too small to be confused with that guy.
