Actors You Confuse With Other Actors

[Donnie Darko]

When I was a kid in the 80s, I confused Kurt Russell and Bill Pullman somehow. I would have sworn up and down that Kurt Russell played Lonestar in Spaceballs.

I'm also guilty of Christopher Meloni and Elias Koteas. I remember when Meloni showed up on Oz, and I thought it was Casey Jones.

Nick Nolte and Gary Busey is another one I had trouble with as a kid.

Thomas Jane and Aaron Eckhart gave me trouble until around the time that Punisher came out.

Ha!

Random note: Both actors appear in Reno 911: Miami, though not together.

This might explain where my confusion comes fromt:

 

[Hawkingbird]

I know the other isn't an actress but I always got Zooey and Katy mixed up:

Love Zooey, not a fan of Katy.

It took me awhile to figure that one out.




The one that really messes me up nowadays is Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

Holy geez! I hadn't ever compared the two, but they're pretty freakin' close!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Jennifer Garner and Natalie Portman

They looked more alike years ago

 

[Breogan]

 

[Spider-Aziz]

They do have the same voice

 

[Sundancer]

I read somewhere that Laurence Fishburne and Samuel L Jackson often get mistaken for one another by the public.

I used to get Chris Rock and Chris Tucker mixed up.

Also Travis Schuldt and Casper Van Dien

This is a well known tidbit but Im gonna share this anyway: Keira was actually used as Natalie's decoy in Star Wars Episode I.

 

[Snow Queen]

Lance Henriksen in Aliens with Willem Dafoe.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I still mix between Tom Selleck and Burt Reynolds

 

[SirAconite]

Rhona Mitra and Kate Beckinsale

David Morse

Simon Pegg

[Schlosser85]

The fact that Morse is about a foot taller should be a giveaway.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Most of what I see of them is their faces
