Michael Jackson and Diana Ross…well, back a few years ago, anyway. Now Michael Jackson looks like LaToya Jackson, except she’s got a sturdier nose. ---

**FriarTed-** Good call! Hank Williams and Hank Williams III. Although, that probably doesn’t count, does it? Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Stewart always seem to look similarly to me. ---

Christian Slater could pass for Jack Nicholson’s son. And since the OP asked about famous people in general, as opposed to entertainers … Eugene Levy now looks almost exactly like Vince Lombardi did in the '60s. ---

[Richard Belzer](http://www.nbc.com/Law_&_Order:_Special_Victims_Unit/bios/Richard_Belzer.html) and [Paul Westerberg](http://members.aol.com/paulspage/news.htm) (scroll down a little). I think Paul was supposed to play Belzer’s son on Homicide in one episode but I think that fell through. ---

I didn’t notice it in **Lord of the Rings** , but in his new movie, [Viggo Mortensen](http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_product.asp?sku=185652&master%5Fmovie%5Fid=23021&affiliateID=528&adID=8042) looks a lot like [Ed Harris](http://www.ozcraft.com/scifidu/abyss/cast_harris.jpg).

Lets see, I used to confuse: Paul Newman and Steve McQueen Meg Ryan and Melanie Griffith Harrison Ford and Dennis Quaid David Bowie and Christopher Walken Penelope Cruz and Selma Hayek (except when she did the uni-brow thing) Norm from Cheers and John Goodman By the way… Michael Jackson and Diana Ross not only look alike, (except for the nose!), but he sounds like her when he talks! ---

I’m always getting [Jake Gyllenhall](http://staff.washington.edu/meganw/boy/gyllenhaal2.jpg) and [Tobey Maguire](http://tobeymaguire.virtualave.net/000.jpg) confused. And [Elijah Wood](http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/new_line_cinema/the_lord_of_the_rings__the_fellowship_of_the_ring/elijah_wood/ringspre3.jpg) could be their little brother. ---

I still make the mistake of confusing **Gregory Peck** with **Cary Grant** and after watching a double bill of _Officer & a Gentleman_ & _No Way Out_, I began to confuse **Richard Gere** with **Kevin Costner** ---

Speaking of [Kevin Costner](http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hc&id=1800017042&cf=pg&photoid=171468&intl=us) , the similarities between him and[Jim Lovell](http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/lovell-ja.html) are quite uncanny. In fact, in the “making-of” _Apollo 13_ featurette, Jim Lovell said he had originally suggested that Costner be tapped to play his role in the film since he believed Costner was the most physically similar to him during the actual mission. But apparently that idea was shot down since Tom Hanks was involved in the movie’s production. ---
