    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
