We all know that there are celebrity impersonations, including everything from SNL skits to hordes of tacky Elvis impersonators…but that’s not really what I’m getting at with this thread. Can anyone think of two or more non-related celebrities who naturally have an uncanny resemblance to one another? Here are some of my ideas: Michael Stipe/Moby/John Malcovich Fred Willard (D.C. Follies) and Frank Bonner (Herb from WKRP) Milli and Vanilli Gwen Stefani and mid-80s Madonna Michael and Latoya Jackson Prince and Michael Jackson (in the 80s, before Jackson started getting plastic surgery every month) Dana Plato (when she was alive) and Sophie B. Hawkins Robbie Rist (Oliver on the Brady Bunch) and John Denver P.S. I recently read in an article that Michael Stipe said that sometimes people walk up to him and ask for John Malcovich’s autograph, and that Malcovich said that people sometimes assume he’s Michael Stipe and ask for an autograph. ---

Michael Douglas and Martin Sheen Also, when Helen Hunt played Viola in _Twelfth Night_ on Broadway, the guy playing Sebastian looked _just like her._ It was weird! I can’t remember the guy’s name, though. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Renton\_lvr \* > \*\*Robin Williams/ Bono > \*\* Good call! My husband had to convince me of this once upon a time. But once you get a good photo of both of them next to each other, they look like brothers. I always thought that Patrick Stewart and Timothy Dalton looked like father/son. ---

Gilligan-- re. Peewee and the Ally McBeal guy I thought they WERE the same! I couldn’t come up with the actors’ names to save my life, but in a sort of passing, subconscious mode I just assumed they were the same. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/celebrity-look-alikes/67048.md?page=2)
