* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXrZGvH76CA Another case in]] ''Series/TheTonightShowWithJimmyFallon'' had Creator/JessicaChastain recalling that when she was starting her acting career she got recognized as an actress and was ecstatic, until the mentions of ''Film/TheVillage'' made her go along and pretend she was Creator/BryceDallasHoward. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipObSiFHpyY And it would not the be the first time either were confused for each other.]]

* Horror review channel Trasheira Violenta has at times noted "[[PoorMansSubstitute discount versions]]" of famous actors in the movies they review, while also giving them punny nicknames. For instance, ''[[https://youtu.be/-9wPe5Y3CFE?t=78 Titanic 666]]'' has "[[Creator/CharlizeTheron Char-Lose Theron]]", "[[Creator/VivicaAFox Vivica A. Dog]]", "[[Music/CourtneyLove Courtney Flopx]]", "Creator/{{Bradley Coo|per}}" and "[[Creator/DwayneJohnson Dwayne 'The Pop' Johnson]]".

* ''Machinima/ProfoundMomentsInLeft4Dead2'': The first appearance of a Boomer prompts [=djy1991=] to shout "Hey guys, [[MistakenForBadass it's]] [[Creator/ValveSoftware Gabe Newell]]!"

** Kramer encounters a Creator/SalmanRushdie lookalike at the gym, and is convinced he's the real deal, though Jerry and Elaine are both pretty sure he isn't. When Kramer strikes up a conversation with him in the sauna, he says he is indeed a writer, confirms tht he has been to the Middle East, and introduces himself as Sal Bass (as in the fish), which is all the proof Kramer needs. We never actually find out for sure if he was the real one or not.

--->'''Kramer:''' Jerry, are you '''blind''?! He's a ''writer''. He said his name was Sal ''Bass''. Bass, Jerry! Instead of salmon, he went with bass! He just substituted one fish for another!\\

* The ''WebVideo/{{React}}'' series is rife with these due to LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, but here's the ones mentioned in-series:

[[caption-width-right:350:Or you could say Creator/JohnnyDepp LooksLikeJesus...]]

* ''Film/TheRunaways'' has Kim Fowley going on about how much Cherie Curie resembles Brigitte Bardot.

* In an episode of ''Series/MadAboutYou'', Helen Hunt's character Jamie describes herself as resembling Jodie Foster. This references the fact that, throughout Hunt's career, [[https://twitter.com/Starbucks/status/734866815810031616?ref_src=twsrc she has been compared to Foster]], due to the resemblance between them and the fact that Foster became an established performer a few years before Hunt.

* ''Series/MyKitchenRules'': In the second round of Season 6, when the contestants first met each other, many were quick to point out how much oyster farmer Rob looks like ''Film/{{Thor}}'''s Chris Hemsworth. The two are apparently cousins, so this is justified.

* ''Series/MagicCity'': It's discussed that Judi Silver looks like Marilyn Monroe.

** The flip-side happens during the "Try Not To Laugh or Grin Challenge" featuring the Wrestling/{{WWE}} superstars when a few of them have commented that one guy in the video they were watching looks a lot like their colleague Wrestling/DeanAmbrose.

* Adrien English, the bookseller/author in the series of gay mysteries by Josh Lanyon, is dogged by an occasionally remarked-upon close resemblance to Montgomery Clift. His attitude toward this is generally wry bemusement, once responding to one such observation by asking, "Before or after the accident?"
-->"You remind me of that actor from ''A Place in the Sun.''"\\
"Elizabeth Taylor?"

* In ''Videogame/Hitman2016'', 47 happens to look just like male model Helmut Kruger. In the Paris level, Kruger himself is scheduled to meet with one of 47's targets. [[KillAndReplace You can see where this is going]]. It also comes to play in the Hokkaido level, where 47 can infiltrate a hospital by pretending to be a plastic surgery patient who wants to look like Kruger.

* The resemblance between Omar Epps, who plays Foreman in ''Series/{{House}}'', and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was referenced in the episode "Ignorance Is Bliss":

** During "Adults React to Music/MarinaAndTheDiamonds", Dionte mentions that the singer reminds him of fellow reactor Sheila (the scene then follows with Sheila fangirling over the singer).

* Wrestling/ChrisJericho famously compared Wrestling/CrashHolly to [[WesternAnimation/TheJetson Elroy Jetson]]. The name caught on to the point that even commentator Wrestling/JimRoss started calling him "Elroy."
* Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}} fans compared Wrestling/ArikCannon to The Kool-Aid Man.

* Parodied in ''Film/LastActionHero''. Jack Slater goes after the Ripper in what people assume to be a studio-authorized stunt and is tackled by Arnold Schwarzenegger. After getting off him, Arnold praises him as the best celebrity lookalike he'd ever seen and starts offering him appearance gigs.
