Just a few minutes ago my wife called me to the living room to check out an actor on TV. I had just gotten into the room when the scene changed and all I caught was a glimpse of what looked to be Red Buttons. I waited a while for them to get back to that actor’s face, but I guess it will be later still. (I’m still waiting as I type this.)
Then I got to thinking there are very few actors who look like Red Buttons! Maybe Jack Warden if the angles are right. But who else?
If they put these guys in the same line-up could you pick them out?
Jon Favreau and Jeremy Piven
Jeff Bridges and Kurt Russell
Any two of the Baldwins (except Adam)
Not actors, but all the young, skanky, blonde singers (Britney Spears, Christina Aquilera, uh, aren’t there some others?) are utterly indistinguishable to me – as is their music.
Julia Stiles and Erika Christensen look sufficiently alike that a great many people (including me) thought for a time that Stiles was the one playing the heroin-addicted daughter in Traffic (2000).
