After coming to the realization that Jack White (musician, member of The White Stripes and also having a cameo on the recent film “Cold Mountain” as ‘Georgia’) looked oddly like a musician named Dax Riggs (singer for bands such as Acid Bath, Agents of Oblivion, and now Deadboy and the Elephantmen), I wondered how many other “celebrities” (I acknowledge that Mr. Riggs is hardly a celebrity, but hey, he has a strong cult following in the Louisiana especially) held at least vague physical resemblances. Here’s my proof: [Jack White with an umbrella](http://www.themodernage.org/dailypics/jw-vh1.jpg) [Dax Riggs signing a Deadboy and the Elephantmen CD](http://www.meridianunderground.com/pages/archivepages/DeadboyElephantmen/deadboy1.html) ---

[Renee Zellweger](http://www.gla.ac.uk/~cmc1z/fantasy_celts_b/fantasy_celts_19/renee_zellweger_01.jpg) looks like [Jewel](https://www.fansrule.com/FanClubImages/jewel/jewel_san_8.jpg). ---

I always thought that Art Carney and Christopher Lloyd should have gotten together in a film featuring a father and son. (Watch Lloyd in the scenes set in the 1950s in the first \*_Back to the Future_.) ---

[Clint Black](http://www.clintblack.com/cb01.jpg) (Country singer) looked a lot like [Roy Rogers](http://www.countrycapsule.com/News/Images/DaleEvans-Roy.jpg). They did a duet once and the resemblance was enough that they could’ve passed as father and son. ---

Jeff Bridges, Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman. I can tell them apart now, but at first I thought “Man, is this same guy in every movie?!?!” ---

I have yet to see a convincing cite that proves Meg Ryan and Melanie Griffith are, in fact, two different people. ---

And the little sister, Marie, who is a little bit “country.” ---

Oh…and I’ve suddenly remembered [Leelee Sobieski](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005447/) could pass for a young [Helen Hunt](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000166/). ---

Kiefer _sounds_ more and more like his father every year, too. And I’ve noticed the Sobieski/Hunt lookalike factor ever since Sobieski was in that Joan of Arc thing. ---
