Google Lens says that’s Russell Crowe and WWE star Drew McIntyre.
Hmm - looks like he buffed up to play Ramirez in the Highlander remake (McIntyre is in it too). Nice.
I initially thought Wilford Brimley had played a part in Better Call Saul but it turned out he had been DEAD for ten years.
It was actually Barry Corbin
Yeah, that definitely qualifies as a youthful role. (I think I’ve seen that movie at one time or another, or am I mixing it up with the original Assault on Precinct 13..?? Possible.)
The Warriors is the one where each gang had it’s own costume/uniform. To wit:
Remar’s in the middle with the bowl cut.
It has to be a tribute to the excellence of his agent, that Remar continued to work. (!)
(I have seen The Warriors at one time or another; it struck me as goofy but I know it has its own cult. Assault (as many know) had its own goofy gangs, which may account for my mixing them up.)
Watching Perry Mason’s “The Case of the Ice-Cold Hands,” I thought a very young Joyce Boulifant might have been an equally young Sue Ann Langdon.
Someone was telling a story about running into Bill Murray at a golf club. In my head I was picturing Chevy Chase.
A forgivable mistake, you would agree… https://people.com/movies/bill-murray-remembers-punching-chevy-chase-in-the-face/
Two of mine are in one my favorite 90s B movies, 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag. George Hamilton is in it, and I tend to confuse him with William Devane. It also stars a lesser known actor, Andy Comeau, who I got confused with John Cusack the first time I watched it. To this day I suspect they probably wanted Cusack for the part and just couldn’t afford him.
I caught a brief clip of Caddyshack earlier today, and my brain got confused thinking “wait, is that John Belushi?” before realizing that it was obviously Bill Murray.
Oh yeah, there’s a big resemblance.
Put me in the Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman list. I can tell them apart while I’m watching one or the other, but I constantly confuse which was which when I try to recollect their roles. “Oh, Jeff Daniels is actually playing that guy! I remembered it being Bill Pullman.”
Then there’s Paxton or Pullman? Took me multiple tries to get a perfect score!
The Duffer Brothers have given us a miniseries, “The Boroughs”, which I watched because they’re the folks who gave us Stranger Things.
I see a bearded security guard and I’m immediately pointing and saying “Oh, they’re using the guy who played Hopper again, cool!”
No, apparently they aren’t.
Joan Crawford and Joan Fontaine. I can never keep those two straight.
Ron Livingston and Kyle Chandler. They don’t even look that much alike but every time I see one I am asking myself if it’s the Office Space guy or the other one.
Less so nowadays, but I used to constantly confuse Ryan Gosling with Jake Gyllenhaal.
I don’t confuse them when looking at pictures, but if you mention J.K. Rowling or J.K. Simmons, I have a 50/50 chance of visualizing the wrong face to go with the name.
I’m watching “Anyone for Murder?” on The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. I was sure the young man with a slight English accent was a pre-Mr Ed Alan Young. Turns out he was a pre-Hogan’s Heroes Richard Dawson!
As a Beatles-obsessed kid, I’d get excited whenever Yasser Arafat made the news. Took me a moment to realize Ringo hadn’t joined the PLO.
Randall Park and John Krasinski
In rewatching a bunch of old 80s movies with my kids, I’m realizing that Elizabeth Shue was not the the “pretty rich blonde suburban love interest” in every film. Just The Karate Kid, Adventures in Babysitting, Cocktail, and Back to the Future II and III.
Can’t Buy Me Love was Amanda Peterson
Heathers was Kim Walker
Some Kind of Wonderful was Lea Thomson
Footloose was Lori Singer
One Crazy Summer was Kimberly Foster
Probably a few others I can’t recall
