Quetzalcoatl Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Ed Harris and James Caan. For a long time I thought these two were the same person. I still can't keep straight who played in what movie. My memory always wants to put Ed Harris in James Caan's roles and vice versa. Jeff Daniels and Daniel Stern. Don't ask me why I formed an association between these two. Maybe it was just the name similarity. I can correctly identify each actor by name, but again, my mind wants to swap their roles. I constantly have to remind myself that Jeff Daniels wasn't one the burglars in Home Alone, because that's the way I remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odine Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman. Still not convinced they aren't (weren't) the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zathras Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 David Keith and Keith David. I never can remember who is which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.CAllen Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I’m mildly to moderately faceblind with that there prosopagnosia so this is a constant struggle. Would probably be easier to write out a fully complete list of actors who I haven't confused with other actors. Nevertheless and nonetheless, uh, what comes to mind first for me? Don’t want to spend too much time here flipping through the old ImdB. Oh, Nina Siemaszko and Hope Davis! And for a long time I thought there were two Jay Karnes — yeah, I know actors have to go by pseudonyms and put their middle names in to avoid this very problem, what can I say, dumb brain is dumb — I thought there was the one who was on The Shield (‘02-’08) and the one that would pop up in various guest spots on other television shows. Oh, just thought of another pair who I recently confused doing a Google search for a bunch of old Pepsi® Max commercials. That’d be Tom Lenk and Fran Kranz. See. We could do this all day. It’s not just a matter of what people look like, really, if their resumés bear any kind of superficial similarity to each other my brain will mishmash them together. The battle never ends!

Gamevet Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I knew who he was, but I always thought that Skeet Ulrich looked like Johnny Depp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Josh Duhamel and Timothy Olyphant should play brothers in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzalcoatl Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 When I saw the first POTC film, I spent a good part of the movie thinking that Kiera Knightly was Natalie Portman. There should be a movie where Kiera Knightly plays Natalie Portman’s decoy or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamevet Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Maybe a Padme? I almost posted the same thing. I blinked for a second and realized it wasn't Natalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Wader Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 At one point I thought the dude in Tron Legacy, the bloke from Narco/Logan and one of the brothers from Supernatural were all the same actor, but nope, three different guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoLA Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I keep thinking Val Kilmer and BD Wong are long lost brothers somehow. Also, Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quetzalcoatl Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Found another one! I'm literally just learning that Ellen Barkin isn't Kathy Baker. I always thought the mother from the show Animal Kingdom was the redheaded neighbor from Edward Scissorhands, but no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird, I know it's not her because I've seen Edward Scissorhands several times but whenever I think about that character, I imagine Katey Sagal.

Brett Posted Saturday at 08:15 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:15 PM I always put Samara Weaving in a sub-category of Emma Stone clones. Youngish blonde/redheaded actresses with enormous eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
