When watching the Green Lantern trailer, it struck me that Ryan Reynolds looked a lot like Matt Dillon did about 15 years ago. ---

In a similar thread a long ways back, pre"Lost", I mentioned thinking that [Tyron](http://agoodmanishardtofind.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/n541660324_2570302_4852.jpg) [Leitso](http://content9.flixster.com/photo/11/56/84/11568475_gal.jpg) from “Wonderfalls” bore an uncanny resemblance to [Matthew Fox](http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/4/foxy2vi.jpg). Not just in appearance, but they have similar voices and some mannerisms. ---

When I first saw Schindler’s List I got confused a bit, because Liam Neeson totally looks like Ralph Fienne. Then there’s the girls in my dream threesome, Katy Perry and Zooey Deshandel. mmmmmm… ---

Maggie Wheeler, who played Janice on Friends, and the Nanny Fran Drescher not only look alike, but sound alike. What’s up with that? ---

I’m surprised no one has mentioned this, but Omar Epps looks like he cloned himself and changed his name to Mike Tomlin, so he could get a check from both \*House \*and from coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. YUMMM and YUMMM!!! ---

Are we limiting this discussion to people?

It took me forever to realize that Tracey Gold was not in _Spaceballs_, but I can’t seem to find a good picture of both her Daphne Zuniga looking alike. ---

This one was the one that made my jaw drop. The casting people at Glee found a kid who looks enough like Chris Colfer to play him at a younger age.
