[QUOTE=ivylass] [Jason Ritter](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0728762/) looks so much like [his father](http://imdb.com/name/nm0000615/), especially when he smiles. [/QUOTE] I dunno. Looks more like [his grandfather](http://www.the-forum.com/EPHEMERA/images2/ritter.jpg) to me. 🙂 ---

Well I opened the thread to say Miguel Ferrer, and that was the OP. I’ll just add that there is an episode of Magnum, PI, in which Miguel plays the younger version of Jose’s character in flashbacks. ---

The older [Andrew Lloyd Webber](http://www.andrewlloydwebber.com/) gets, the more he resembles his father [William Lloyd Webber](http://www.williamlloydwebberfestival2007.com/) ---

I continue to believe that [Rainn Wilson](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/6489/ActorRain_John_14815050_400.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Wilson%2C%20Rainn&seq=4) is the son of [Garrison Keillor](http://www.mindspring.com/~celestia/keillor/). ---

Alan Hale, Jr. (the Skipper from Gilligan’s Island) bore an uncanny resemblance to his father. [http://laurelandhardycentral.com/links/hales.jpg](http://laurelandhardycentral.com/links/hales.jpg) ---

I can’t believe no one mentioned James and Josh Brolin. Look at them side by side when James Brolin was younger. It’s down right eery! ---

I know the OP asked for fathers, not mothers, but I have to mention Ingrid Bergman and Isabella Rossellini as they are two of my favorites. ---
