* Brad Pitt looks a lot like Robert Redford in his younger years---so much, in fact, that I wonder if Brad Pitt isn't the result of a botched attempt to clone Robert Redford.

* SeenItAMillionTimes in magazines.
** A staple of ''PrivateEye'' magazine, which always swaps the captions on the pictures. [[http://waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/navigate.do?pPageID=1461 Here's a page of examples]]. Typically, they come from letters sent from readers, which often end with "Could they be related?" or "I think we should be told".
** Brazilian magazine Vip has a similar section, "[[http://vip.abril.com.br/especiais/separados-no-nascimento/index.shtml Separated at Birth]]".
** The dear, departed ''Spy'' magazine popularized the Separated at Birth concept in America, leading to several spinoff books.
* Mentioned in an episode of ''Do Over''.
* I swear a certain national leader resembles Bob Denver. I am not stating who.
* [[http://www.flyingomelette.com/sab.html Here are a ton of them, mostly video game and cartoon related.]]
* Compare [[http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1111/633962551_d27800bf54.jpg?v=0 this image]] to [[http://www.hippyshopper.com/GordonBrownED.jpg this one]].
* Am I the only one who thinks Nathan Fillion and Jason Bateman look strangely alike?
** No you aren't.
** Fillion once recounted an anecdote where he got out of a speeding ticket by giving the cop an autograph -- Jason Bateman's autograph.
* [[{{Naruto}} Orochimaru]] and MichaelJackson. Which made it even creepier when Orochimaru made a snake come up his throat.
** [[http://cheezburger.com/view.aspx?ciid=5308898 We have proof now.]]
* There's been a meme going around the internet claiming [[StarWars Emperor Palpatine]] and Pope Benedict XVI look alike.
** I see a resemblance between Palpatine and Saddler, the BigBad from ''ResidentEvil 4'', which makes his line about Hollywood cliches a bit of hypocrisy.
** I have seen a Piece of Flair on FaceBook that puts [[StarWars Emperor Palpatine's]] picture next to John [=McCain's=]. I find the resemblance disturbing.
* And we can't forget that [[http://www.animevice.com/zac-efron-is-kira/22-101/ Zac Efron is Kira]].
** Forget that, [[KingdomHearts Demyx]] is [[HighSchoolMusical Troy Bolton]].
** I am pretty sure though that [[KingdomHearts Demyx]] is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arap_Bethke Arap Bethke]] from some other universe. Or at least the 13 year old version of [[http://msnlatino.telemundo.com/novelas/Los_Victorinos/photo_gallery/content/Los_Victorinos-2009/Photo_Gallery/Cambio_extremo Victorino Gallardo]].
* RobinWilliams. [[http://www.people.com/people/gallery/0,,1558870_3,00.html Bono.]] Hell, the book ''Separated At Birth?'' [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/80sFreakLurker/Others/robin014.jpg saw it in 1988.]]
** Want more proof? Compare [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_u41WafuDM this video]] of Pop-era U2 (complete with Bono's short hair!) and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE-PfrQvabE Robin]] on Whose Line is it Anyway?. Then think about how much they sound like each other, particularly when Bono does the "out-''siiiiiiide~'', it's America!" thing. Indeed, I think we should be told.
* There was a man in New York City in the 1980s and '90s who would check into hotel rooms and dine high on the hog based on his resemblance to singer Rod Stewart.
** Speaking of which... [[http://www.exposay.com/celebrity-photos/rod-stewart-2006-clive-davis-pre-grammy-awards-party-xQsUdF.jpg Rod Stewart]], [[http://assets.mog.com/pictures/wikipedia/216616/Ron_wood.jpg Ron Wood]] and [[http://i215.photobucket.com/albums/cc210/weng1107/JeffBeck_0125.jpg Jeff Beck]] were all in The Jeff Beck Group...
* I refuse to believe that Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg are different actors.

** This similarity between them was turned into a RunningGag by popular Brazilian comedy show ''Casseta & Planeta''. Everytime they mocked a soap opera or a movie or a series in which Stulbach appears, they would have people calling him "Tom Hanks", which works as a BerserkButton for him. At one point, they mocked TheDaVinciCode, and showed that Hanks had the same problem as people insisted in calling him Dan Stulbach.
** Throw [[http://www.relix.com/UserFiles/Image/DaveMatthews184.JPG Dave Matthews]] into the mix and you have separated-at-birth triplets.

* I had a period in my earlier teens where I saw [[LordOfTheRings Elijah Wood]] look-alikes everywhere I went.
** I was one. One of my friends in 3rd grade took to calling me "Huck."
* I wonder if I am the only one who thinks that, without facial hair, Freddie Mercury and Johnny Depp resemble each other.
** Nope. This troper's dad lost a quiz night competition by saying that a picture clearly of Johnny Depp was actually of Freddie Mercury. And that was WITH facial hair. Granted, it was in profile...
*** I always thought Depp looked more like Rudolph Valentino. Apparently, [[http://www.dailypress.com/entertainment/dp-top10-museum-characters-051909,0,2706704.photogallery I'm not the only one.]] The resemblance is stronger without the glasses and goatee.
* TV personality Dr. Phil may, in fact, be a fictional character played by Jeffrey Tambor.
* I wonder if Anne Hathaway's Italian convict ex-boyfriend (Rafaello What's-His-Name) is really a fictional character played by [[{{Scrubs}} Zach Braff]].
* The entire point of the website http://totallylookslike.com.
** God-baiting scientist Richard Dawkins and Emma "Hermione" Watson. Seriously.
* Also, I once saw a troupe of Irish dancers in Austria (it was some kind of Festival of Europe thing), and one of the Irish dancers not only appeared to be of Asian extraction but was in fact the dead spitting image of the Emperor Hirohito. It was most uncanny.
* Am I the only one to confuse Jennifer Garner with Piper Perabo?
** Jennifer Garner? No. Hillary Swank? Yes.
** How about Jennifer Garner and [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers Amy Jo Johnson]]?
* An issue of ''JusticeLeague'' reveals that the citizens of DC comics think that the famous reporter Clark Kent just happens to resemble that hero {{Superman}}. Odd.
* My mother recently saw a picture of [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Anthony "Giles" Head]] and thought it was [[SilenceOfTheLambs Anthony "Hannibal the Cannibal" Hopkins]].
* While me and my brother were watching the ''DoctorWho'' episode "Journey's End" this summer, their dad walked in and watched the last few minutes with them. At the very end, he said this about DavidTennant:
---> '''Dad''': You know who he looks like? He looks like the guy from ''{{Psycho}}''.\\

'''Troper''': Okay.
** The actor was Anthony Perkins. [[http://www.librarising.com/astrology/celebs/images2/A/anthonyperkins.jpg And now that you mention it...]]
* TinaFey and Sarah Palin. [[RealTimeWithBillMaher Bill Maher]] said he was so tired of hearing it that he noted she looks more like ''[[KingOfTheHill Peggy Hill]]''.
* Many gamers observe that [[TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] strongly resembles a younger, less batshit insane JackThompson. [[strike:Poor Jon.]] Lucky Jack.
* I am pretty damn sure that Sophia Myles (Beth on ''{{Moonlight}}'' and Madame du Pompadour on ''DoctorWho''), Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah on ''{{Chuck}}''), and Elisabeth Rohm (Detective Kate Lockley on the first two seasons of ''{{Angel}}'') are all the same person.
** [[RuleThirtyFour * blink* ]] [[PowerPerversionPotential * blink* ]] [[ImAManICantHelpIt * gulp* ]]
* Just recently, I saw a picture of a young Jeremy Irons and mistook him for [[Series/{{Heroes}} Adrian Pasdar]].
* My younger sister used to insist that the guy who says, "He's disabled the rudder chains, sir!" in the first ''PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' film (when Captain Jack and Will commandeer the ''Interceptor'' by attacking the ''Dauntless'') was Russell Crowe (or "The captain guy from ''Master and Commander''").
* [[{{Angel}} David Boreanaz]] bears an eerie resemblance to a young James Garner (the hunky American volunteer RAF pilot in ''TheGreatEscape'').
* Brad Pitt looks a lot like Robert Redford in his younger years---so much, in fact, that I wonder if Brad Pitt isn't the result of a botched attempt to clone Robert Redford.
** The similarities are impossible to ignore in ''{{The Curious Case of Benjamin Button}}''. It might have been the makeup, it might have been the lighting, but the resemblance in the Moscow scenes is downright frightening.
* I swear that John Travolta and disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich are long lost brothers.
* A good percentage of the riffs in ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' deal with the resemblance of actors in the movies to other celebrities. For example, in their presentation of ''ManosTheHandsOfFate'', there are jokes centered around [[http://kunochan.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/master.jpg The Master's]] resemblance to [[http://www.librarising.com/astrology/celebs/images2/EF/freddiemercury.jpg Freddie Mercury]], [[http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/content/images/2007/09/07/fawlty_towers_396x222.jpg John Cleese]], and [[http://assets.espn.go.com/photo/2006/1006/mlb_a_buckner01_195.jpg Bill Buckner]].
* Idina Menzel and Nelly Furtado look a lot alike, I think.
** Add Paola Turbay to this.
*** And [[{{Glee}} Lea Michele]].
*** This is even better now that Glee have actually made this a plot point, by bringing in Idina Menzel (a fan of the show and other guest star Kristen Chenoweth's Wicked co-star) as Lea Michele's character's mother.
* If you do not believe that [[http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aSP1QCAVclA/R5LYt2deEBI/AAAAAAAABKI/dsq0oDKQsXk/s320/Dr.+ Reichwein.jpg Dr. Reichwein]] from ''{{Monster}}'' looks as if he was played by [[http://stillfootball.files.wordpress.com/2007/06/brimley.jpg Wilford Brimley]], then you are ''lying''.
** AMVHell had some fun with this, doing a mashup of Reichwein and the "Diabeetus" mix. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVcX-Xdc6mE here.]]
** I think that Tenma somewhat resembles Keanu Reeves, especially in the beginning.
* [[TromboneChild My]] younger brother recently confused Ralph Fiennes with ChristopherEccleston. His face fell when I told him it wasn't the [[DoctorWho Ninth Doctor]].
** And then he noticed the resemblance again when we watched ''The Duchess''. I told him to be quiet.

* This editor swears that Lloyd from ''FireEmblem 7'' looks like DavidTennant.
* The dude who played [[IHateYouVampireDad Carlisle]] in ''{{Twilight}}'' looked so much like either Ralph Fiennes or Christian Bale, all I could do to make sure he wasn't was to think "Neither of them would sink this low".
** Well, I certainly hope not--both for their sakes ''and'' ours.
** On the rare occasions Matthew Goode as [[http://new-sensation.blog.so-net.ne.jp/_images/blog/_917/tomgo_blog/Watchmen_0013.jpg Adrian Veidt]] in ''{{Film/Watchmen}}'' doesn't resemble DavidBowie as [[http://listverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/thumbnail.php1.jpeg Thomas Jerome Newton]] in ''TheManWhoFellToEarth'', he looks enough like Carlisle that an anonymous poster to Fandom!Secrets [[http://i43.tinypic.com/2emzxo9.jpg apparently]] finds it to be FetishFuel.
** The guy who plays James in the movie has also been compared to Orlando Bloom.
** My mother, who is a high school volleyball coach, thinks her athletic director (her boss) looks like a middle-aged Robert Pattinson. He does, I guess, but with softer and far less emo features; also, he's kind of a DILF.
* In the movie ''Moon Child'', there are occasional moments where Hyde (Kei's actor) bares a surprising resemblance to DavidBowie. It's the haircut and eyebrows that do it.
* In ''QuantumOfSolace'', the bad guy, Dominic Greene, looks essentially like the lovechild of [[{{Lost}} Benjamin Linus and Desmond]].
* Watch CAKE's music video for "The Distance." Now watch ''Firefly''. Serenity too, if you've the time. Now look at Wash. Look at CAKE's guitarist. Repeat. They look similar, and sometimes even seem to have the same tics of motion.
* [[http://www.jillstanek.com/sheen.jpg This]] is Martin Sheen, a respected veteran actor best known for playing President Josiah Bartlet on ''TheWestWing''. [[http://www.laportecountyhistory.org/images/bg2.jpg This]] is Belle Gunness, America's first female serial killer and one of the most prolific in history. Yeah.
* Done all the time by the comedic magazine the Buffalo Beast, with the "separated at birth" caption. [[http://buffalobeast.com/133/sab133.jpg This]] is quite possibly the most accurate one.
* I see a startling resemblence between Fergie (the singer, not the duchess) and Kirstie Alley (the actress currently best known from the Jenny Craig ads).
* Wow, and this far without a mention of [[http://lawontherow.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/jim-croce.gif Jim Croce]] and [[http://www.surfnetusa.com/3ofus/photos/colorfz.jpg Frank Zappa]]?
** Croce looks like {{Borat}} as well.
* One strip of the ''{{Dilbert}}'' comic has Bob the Dinosaur stand on a rooftop, yelling "I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOM BROKAW AND PETER JENNINGS!!!"
* [[Series/{{Heroes}} Angela Petrelli]] and [[TonyBlair Cherie Blair]] [[http://www.tvscoop.tv/2007/09/tv_lookalikes_a.html look so alike it's scary]].
* [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Josh_Duhamel.jpg Josh Duhamel]] and [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TimothyOlyphant.jpg Timothy Olyphant]] look so much alike they could play brothers. I see Josh as the good-looking charmer, with Timothy as the brains of the operation... then to top it off, [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Johnny_Knoxville.jpg Johnny Knoxville]] could play the stupid youngest brother.
** Add Michael Weatherly from NCIS to that.
* {{Lost}}'s [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Linus Ben Linus]]. Tesla Motors' [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk Elon Musk]]. It's rather creepy...
** No man, what's creepy is [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Nomi Klaus Nomi]] and the resemblance thereof.
* As was mentioned many times when they were both younger and more in the limelight, Daryl Hannah and Lori Singer.
* David Hyde Pierce was cast as [[TheNiles Niles]] in ''{{Frasier}}'' when a casting director noticed how much he looked like {{Kelsey Grammer}}.
* [[BattlestarGalactica Colonel Saul Tigh]] (Michael Hogan). John [=McCain=]. It's ''uncanny''.
** And then there's his wife, Ellen Tigh (Kate Vernon) and Cindy [=McCain=].
* Also from [[BattlestarGalactica BSG]]: Aaron Doral / Number Five (Matthew Bennett) and KevinSpacey.
* [[FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] and DavidBowie. Actually, a lot of Final Fantasy characters look like David Bowie.
* WillFerrell and [[http://www.s9.com/images/portraits/33919_Chad-Smith.jpg Chad Smith]], drummer for the RedHotChiliPeppers and supergroup Chickenfoot. He even performed on [[{{Ptitle4i13s514}} Conan O'Brien]]'s show wearing a shirt that read "I am not Will Ferrell".
** Similarly, MMA fighters Jon Fitch and Dustin Hazelett look so much alike that Hazlett (the less famous of the two) CONSTANTLY gets asked for Jon Fitch's autograph during UFC events. Like Smith, he once went to the cage wearing a tshirt saying "I Am Not Jon Fitch."
*** Of course some would argue that MANY MMA fighters tend to look alike, given that they're (in the US) predominately white, skinny (a side effect of constant dieting to make weight and fight at their optimal body mass), with very short hair or bald (hair can get in the way of grappling), and an endless parade of questionable tattoos. The latter is probably more represenatative of young males as a whole, but its more noticable with guys who are half naked most of the time when you see them.
** I think a better doppelganger for Will Ferrell would be Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. They've got the same jaw, the same eyes, and the same youthful looks.

* And speaking of Conan, much hay was made on his show about his resemblance to Finnish president [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarja_Halonen Tarja Halonen]]. Especially the gender difference.
** This led to Conan gaining a [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff considerable following]] in Finland culminating in a special where he visits the country and meets Halonen.
* [[http://oglobo.globo.com/blogs/arquivos_upload/2009/03/13_2520-0324-bardem-morgan.jpg Jeffrey Dean Morgan apparently gets mistaken for Javier Bardem]] so often that sometimes he signs autographs as Bardem. As [[Film/{{Watchmen}} The Comedian]], Morgan was also mistaken for Robert Downey Jr.
** [[TromboneChild I think]] that Jeffrey Dean Morgan also looks like Johnny Cash in his younger days, especially when clean-shaven.
* [[Series/{{Heroes}} Zachary]] [[Film/StarTrek Quinto]] and [[InglouriousBasterds Eli Roth]] could probably play fraternal twins.
** Zachary Quinto and Brandon Routh could probably play [[http://i47.tinypic.com/qp2zia.jpg brothers as well.]] Must be the eyebrows.
** And then there's the issue of Zach possibly being [[LeonardNimoy Nimoy's]] grandson...
* [[http://ramascreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Zooey-Deschanel-Katy-Perry.jpg Zooey Deschanel. Katy Perry.]] Can ''you'' tell 'em apart?
* [[http://www.bps-ok.org/kane/trek_teachers/LeonardMcCoy.jpg DeForest Kelley]] and [[http://img.listal.com/image/516909/500full-gary-sinise.jpg Gary Sinise]]. Even their voices sound alike.
** [[{{Tropers.Premonition45}} This troper]] used to think Gary Sinise starred as [[http://rossvross.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/jerjerrod_big.jpg Moff Jerjerrod]] in ''ReturnOfTheJedi'', only to learn Jerjerrod was played by British actor Michael Pennington.
* [[{{House}} Omar Epps]] and [[http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/multimedia/photo_gallery/0812/athlete.lookalikes.fan.submissions/images/mike-tomlin-omar-epps.jpg Pittsburg Steelers coach Mike Tomlin]]. This was referenced in the episode "Ignorance Is Bliss":

* Tom Welling ([[{{Superman}} Clark Kent]] on ''{{Smallville}})'' and The All American Rejects frontman Tyson Ritter [[http://totallylookslike.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/tyson-ritter.jpg share more than a passing resemblance]] with each other. My brother prefers to refer to The All American Rejects as "The Tom Welling Band".
* BenStiller with glasses totally looks like a young [[JohnMunch Richard Belzer]]. [[http://www.hulu.com/watch/122300/the-tonight-show-with-conan-obrien-stiller-stops-by See for yourself.]]
** Ever heard of British group The Hoosiers? Try to watch the video for 'Good Bye Mr. A' and not comment on how much of a Ben-Stiller-Lookin'-Mofo the lead is.
* Is that young Jessica Lange in ''The Postman Always Rings Twice'' or Alison Lohman? Voice is the same too. Guess [[BigFish Tim Burton]] saw it too...
* JamesMarsters and Ben Lawson from ABC's ''TheDeepEnd''.
* Almost as soon as images of ''{{Bayonetta}}'' began coming out people were commenting that she looks a bit like Sarah Palin. It's almost certainly a coincidence, but the glasses seal the deal.
* Mentioned by the band The Axis of Awesome. The lead resembles Jack Black, and knows this, and is annoyed by everyone who tells him so.
* MeganFox and AngelinaJolie. Bonus points for also having similar personalities and both being open about their sexual histories.
* [[http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1692175104/nm1534694 Allisyn Ashley Arm]] of SonnyWithAChance bears more than a passing resemblance to the similarly named [[http://www.imdb.com/media/rm493525760/nm1351987 Alyson Stoner]] (TheSuiteLifeOfZackAndCody, PhineasAndFerb, the girl in "Mike's Super Short Show"). Except now Alyson looks like [[http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3604188672/nm1351987 this]].
* [[{{DoctorWho}} Karen Gillan]] and [[{{Castle}} Molly Quinn]].
* {{MTV}} Brazil features a soccer championship between musicians, broadcast by two comedians. They bring up these often while looking at the players (notable ones include [[http://vip.abril.com.br/especiais/separados-no-nascimento/imagens/samuelrosa-tarantino.jpg Samuel Rosa]]/QuentinTarantino, [[http://api.ning.com/files/g5-EMCSR3yox3YsvgXcTg6eHJpxZH-lngZ6f2wRDttTE9Og* pxBE7zaJi4CSO6ydOfpG7veu1K4ZpQSQjivge2vuGAZ9mm1M/andre.jpg André Jung]]/Spock, and [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rxu7MAI2vT4/Sr_pkfspp5I/AAAAAAAAA-s/JDq35B8seQw/s400/ToniPlatao%281%29.jpg Toni Platão]]/[[http://www.revistazepereira.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/cassia-eller.jpg Cassia Eller]]).
* [[{{House}} Jennifer Morrison]] and [[{{Big Love}} Ginnifer Goodwin]].
** Back in the first few seasons of ''{{House}}'', from certain angles, Jennifer happened to look exactly like [[{{CSI}} Jorja Fox]]. Maybe that's why Cameron went blonde...
* Speaking of Jorja Fox, [[LawAndOrderSVU Olivia Benson]] looks like a cross between her and her later self in the first season.
* AdamSandler might be a younger BobDylan's clone.
* Lou Diamond Phillips resembles a younger, Hispanic, George W. Bush. Ironically Bush has younger, Hispanic, relatives that don't look like Lou Diamond Phillips.
* [[http://ousejapowerrangers.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/obama-hamilton.jpg?w=460&h=331 Lewis Hamilton]] (the first black FormulaOne driver) and BarackObama (the first black US president).
** Nah, he looks more like Tiger Woods.
* FeliciaDay and [[http://upload.moldova.org/movie/actors/c/christina_hendricks/christina_hendricks_3.jpg Christina Hendricks]].
** ....just in the face right? Because Hendricks has [[MostCommonSuperpower a particular characteristic Day lacks]]
* [[{{Angel}} Christian]] [[{{Leverage}} Kane]] and DavidFosterWallace.
* All this page and no mention of [[http://www.inmirror.com/node/97/results?page=1 Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley?]] Keira was cast in ''[[StarWars The Phantom Menace]]'' because of the resemblance--she played Queen Amidala's decoy, who takes the queen's place for the entire middle of the film.
** Actually, Keira isn't the decoy queen, she's one of the regular handmaidens. She is recognisable now you know what she looks like, but you have to look carefully for her, because the handmaidens are usually cloaked and have their heads down to draw attention away from their resemblance to the queen, and away from Amidala when she is being Padme.
** And they both look like Winona Ryder.

* Anyone see a resemblence between [[http://www.malestarz.com/uploads/photos/075d736ace63381e2bce5ff6f5b931a29.jpg Jonathan Rhys-Meyers]] and [[http://imalbum.aufeminin.com/album/D20060202/163176_5WU1ETDWOB7ULMAVBEKC6I8FPKFEOB_drew_fuller_H193007_L.jpg Drew Fuller]]?
* [[http://www.contactmusic.com/pics/mb/theatregoers_choice_awards_2_071208/andrew_lloyd_webber_2207378.jpg Andrew Lloyd Webber.]] [[http://www.scientologytoday.org/LRH/Founder/img/pg0138_1.jpg L. Ron Hubbard.]] A collaboration that must never exist.
* When this troper first saw [[TheYoungAndTheRestless Michelle Stafford]] he was immediately reminded of [[GunsNRoses Axl Rose]], especially his look in the "Welcome to the Jungle" video.
* Milo Ventimiglia and Conor Oberst.
* This troper thought [[SaturdayNightLive Seth Meyers]] and [[TheOffice B.J.]] [[InglouriousBasterds Novak]] were the same person for years. As in, "Hey, that guy from ''SNL'' is also on ''The Office''."
* I once saw a silent movie poster with a cowboy on it who you'd have sworn was either Charlie Sheen or Christian Bale.
* Even though he was around first, a lot of people think DoctorSteel looks like (or is ripping off) [[TheVentureBrothers Dr. Venture]]. Or [[InvaderZim Professor Membrane]]. Or [[DrHorrible Dr. Horrible]].
* This troper confused Meryl Streep with Glenn Close for years. They don't even look all that much alike.
* Not so much now they're both adults, but Kirsten Dunst and Evan Rachel Wood as child stars were practically identical, especially if you compare Jumanji and Practical Magic.
* Evangeline Lilly and Kate Beckinsale could be [[http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/33/evangelinelillykatebeck.jpg sisters]]. Or twins.
* [[http://thebigbangtheoryfr.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Jim-Parsons.jpg Jim Parsons]]...long-lost baby brother of [[http://musikaholic.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/davematthews.jpg Dave Matthews]]?
* Is {{Simpsons}} voice actor [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yy4Chdn0V7E/SYmi80Oca6I/AAAAAAAAB-E/vnu3m0xGCkk/s400/hank_azaria.jpg Hank Azaria]] actually [[http://palomitasconrefresco.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/jeremy-irons.jpg Jeremy Irons]]' long-lost son?
* The page image for ''LongForThisWorld''.
* This Troper swears that [[http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2007/09/10/amd_tytreadway.jpg Ty Treadway]], the host of ''[[MervGriffinsCrosswords Merv Griffin's Crosswords]]'', and [[http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/famecrawler/2009/03/the-bachelor-ending-final-rose-jason-mesnick-molly-melissa.jpg Chris Harrison]], host of ''TheBachelor'' and ''The Bachelorette'', are absolutely ''identical''.
* Anyone else getting the [[LawAndOrderSVU Casey Novak]]/[[{{Scrubs}} Elliot Reid]] long-lost-sister vibe?
* Am I the only one who thinks that Steve Buscemi could be Macaulay Culkin's father?
* Is it just me, or is it possible [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/ChristianeAmanpour.jpg Christiane Amanpour]] and [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/Katey_Sagal_cropped.jpg Katey Sagal]] are sisters?

* WillFerrell and [[http://www.s9.com/images/portraits/33919_Chad-Smith.jpg Chad Smith]], drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and supergroup Chickenfoot. He [[http://img23.imageshack.us/i/picture21d.png/# q=chad%20smith%20i%20am%20not%20will%20ferrell even performed on Conan O'Brien's show wearing a shirt that read "I am not Will Ferrell."]]

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Ferrell Will Ferrell]], star of many recent comedies and former cast member of SNL and [[http://www.s9.com/images/portraits/33919_Chad-Smith.jpg Chad Smith]], drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and supergroup Chickenfoot.

** I think a better doppelganger for Will Ferrell would be Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. They've got the same jaw, the same eyes, and the same youthful looks.

* Wayne Rogers (Trapper John on ''[[{{MASH}} M*A*S*H]]'') looks quite a bit like WillFerrell.

* Wayne Rogers (Trapper on ''[[{{MASH}} M*A*S*H]]'') looks a bit like WillFerrell.

* Wayne Rogers (Trapper on ''[[{{MASH}} M*A*S*H]]'' looks a bit like WillFerrell.

* HeathLedger and [[http://media.daemonsmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Joseph-Gordon-Levitt.jpg Joseph Gordon-Levitt]].
* They did play brothers in ''TenThingsIHateAboutYou''.

<<|JustForFun|>>

* HeathLedger and [[http://media.daemonsmovies.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Joseph-Gordon-Levitt.jpg Joseph Gordon-Levitt]].

* Many gamers observe that [[TheDailyShow Jon Stewart]] strongly resembles a younger, less batshit insane JackThompson. Poor Jon.

* Sharlto Copley (sans his DistrictNine 'stache) could pretty easily play MichaelBay in a movie.
* DavidMitchell and SCOTUS judge Elena Kagan.
