How 'bout this: [Jennifer Love Hewitt](http://www.jlh-online.com/pictures/gallery03/fs022.shtml) and [Wil Wheaton](http://www.celebrityicon.net/males/wilwheaton/images/018.html) Creepy, huh? ---

Nope, but I think Wood looks a lot like Tobey Maguire. Not as much as Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski look alike, but… ---

On a slightly tangential note, has anyone ever noticed how many of Winona’s movies start with her doing a voiceover? Or she has a voiceover part throughout? _Reality Bites How to Make an American Quilt Heathers Bram Stoker’s Dracula Welcome Home Roxy Carmichael (I seem to remember) Edward Scissorhands (I think, but can’t remember) Mermaids The House of the Spirits Girl, Interrupted_ ---

What about Hamid Karzai and Ben Kingsley? Freaky. I hear there are rumours that the next president of Guatamala will look like John Travolta. ---

Martina Navritolova and Tom Petty looked alike in the 80’s, but I haven’t seen pictures of either one of them since so I don’t know if they still do. ---

I always thought that [Tina Marjorino](http://tmj.homeip.net/frames/index.htm) would be perfect to play [Ice-T’s](http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=ss&group=0246909&photo=1&path=pgallery&path_key=Ice-T) daughter. I think it’s the eyes. ---

I also think [Noah Wyle](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Wyle,+Noah) and [Breckin Meyer](http://us.imdb.com/EGallery?source=granitz&group=1022&photo=meyer_breckin2&path=pgallery&path_key=Meyer,+Breckin) resemble each other a lot. ---

The scariest one is Tim Allen and Wall Street reporter Daniel Pearl. That one photo spooked the hell out of me. In an ET interview, Tim Allen said it spooked him too. Also, Amanada Bearse of Married with Children and Jonathan Taylor Thomas of Home Improvement. They joked about that on an episode of MWC.
