“Dude A totally looks like Dude B” threads have probably been done before, but I just had to point this one out. Every time I see _No Ordinary Family_ I get totally creeped out by [this guy](http://kpitalrisk.free.fr/images/stars/77000/s_face-shot.gif) who plays a bad guy or something on the show. His hair is darker on the show and so he bears and uncanny resemblance to [Glenn Quinn](http://jerzygirl45.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/doyle_fave.jpg?w=498&h=638) who played Doyle on _Angel_ and Mark on _Roseanne_.

Glenn Quinn died a bunch of years ago, so this other guy, Josh Stewart, gives me the heebie jeebies.

Sabrina Lloyd from season 1 of Numb3rs looks incredibly like the pretty/ugly girl from the Festivus episode of Seinfeld.

Every time I watch _How I Met Your Mother_ I think that [Adam Busch](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0123951/) (from _Buffy_) could play [Josh Radnor](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1102140/)’s brother.

[Adam Carolla](http://reynaelena.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/adam_carolla.jpg) looks like former tennis champ [Pete Sampras](http://art.allayers.com/images/large/pete_sampras2.jpg)– with a little Down Syndrome.

That reminds, on “Seinfeld” the actress who played Jerry’s nudist girlfriend looked an awful lot like the singer Jewel (albeit without the snagged teeth).

Not quite what the OP was thinking of, but there was a lesbian couple at a party I went to last year, and both of them bore an uncanny resemblance to Michael Cera. Kind of disconcerting.

Whenever we have one of these threads, I have to mention **Dave Foley** and **Isabella Rosselini**.

I always thought that [golfer Nick Faldo](http://www.thelittlehousecompany.co.uk/news/Nick-Faldo-Open-Cyprus-Golf-Property.htm) looks a helluva lot like Harrison Ford.

BOTH of them did?

Yeah, that’s actually vaguely creepy…

But speaking of people who bear a striking resemblance to Cera, more in line with the OP, there’s [Jesse Eisenberg](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Eisenberg).

Well, that _does_ fit the very definition of “eerie resemblances”.

Whoa. Give him a hat and a bullwhip and he’s Indy!

[Jensen Ackles](http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/6306/33051jensenackles.jpg)looks amazingly like the younger version of [Jeffrey Dean Morgan](http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/8731/jdmyoung.jpg) (who, coincidentally, played Ackles’ father on _Supernatural_).

Speaking of Jeffrey Dean Morgan and [eerie](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-jMIlgdP48) [resemblances](http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/6609/javierbardemrobertdowne.jpg)…

Not eerie but for a while I couldn’t tell [Leelee Sobieski](http://www.bannedinhollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/leelee-sobieski-picture-2.jpg) and [Helen Hunt](http://imstars.aufeminin.com/stars/fan/helen-hunt/helen-hunt-20060426-125391.jpg) apart.

And then for another while I thought they were related.
