Not sure if this is the right forum, but I couldn’t think of a better place for it. Looking for famous people that look alike. Three that come to mind: Aaron Rodgers (Packer QB) and Ellen Degeneris (sp?) Put a helmet on Ellen’s head, and they could be twins. Wayne Gretzky - Princess Diana Dan Quayle - Steve Young Any others? ---

Actors Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem [were clearly separated at birth and the entire internet knows it](http://www.google.com/search?q=jeffrey+dean+morgan+javier+bardem). And Robert Downey Jr. could be their brother. ---

Actresses Allison Janney (_The West Wing_) and Christine Lahti (_Chicago Hope_) have a very similar look. This was mentioned as a quick joke on _Studio 60_, on which they both guest starred. ---

Actor David Doyle from the original Charlie’s Angels series and actor Tom Bosley from Happy Days looked amazingly similar sometimes and tended to confuse people into thinking that the same person played both roles. ---

[Robin Soderling](http://im.in.com/connect/images/profile/b_profile4/Robin_Soderling_300.jpg) looks like a young [Gary Oldman](http://angel.ge/uploads/posts/2008-05/1210108333_gary-oldman.jpg) to me. And Robin counts as famous damn it! So I don’t wanna hear it. 😛 And a crazy person once said that [Roger Feder](http://www.aboutrogerfederer.com/images/roger.jpg) and [Quentin Tarantino](http://www.ugo.com/movies/quentin-tarantino-spotlight/images/quentin-tarantino.jpg) look alike and in these pictures, they do actually. :dubious: ---

When I was little and used to watch reruns of Mama’s Family it wasn’t until the first time I saw Eunice appear that I realized that Carol Burnett wasn’t playing Mama. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > When I was little and used to watch reruns of Mama’s Family it wasn’t until the first time I saw Eunice appear that I realized that Carol Burnett wasn’t playing Mama. Me too. It took me a while to realize that they were two different people. ---

Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire are playing brothers in the upcoming film _Brothers_, which makes sense to me because I can barely tell them apart. ---

> [@Joey\_P](#): > > When I was little and used to watch reruns of Mama’s Family it wasn’t until the first time I saw Eunice appear that I realized that Carol Burnett wasn’t playing Mama. Now that I think about it, at some point before I saw Carol Burnett as Eunice, I saw Vicki Lawrence do Mama’s voice out of costume, and that’s what got me to start wondering about it, but even with that I still thought Carol was Mama and that Vicki was just showing that she could do the voice to…or something like that. ---
