[Telling James Apart – Need Help Fast](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/telling-jams-apart-need-help-fast/994446)

I don’t think it’s all that difficult, myself. Some people say actors [James Franco](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&sca_esv=590380016&q=James+Franco&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwir3vXOxIyDAxX1FjQIHeADBR4Q0pQJegQIDRAB&biw=1518&bih=910&dpr=1.2) and [Theo James](https://www.google.com/search?q=Theo+James&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj0iZDRxIyDAxX258kDHbu8AGEQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=Theo+James&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzINCAAQgAQQigUQQxCxAzIICAAQgAQQsQMyEAgAEIAEEIoFEEMQsQMQgwEyBAgAEAMyBQgAEIAEMgoIABCABBCKBRBDMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyDQgAEIAEEIoFEEMQsQMyBQgAEIAEOgYIABAHEB5QtQtY5S1g7S9oAHAAeACAATSIAdQCkgEBN5gBAKABAaoBC2d3cy13aXotaW1nwAEB&sclient=img&ei=9LN5ZfS_GPbPp84Pu_mCiAY&bih=910&biw=1518&client=firefox-b-1-d) look alike, but I don’t see it.

Now, Scottish actor [James McAvoy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_McAvoy#2010%E2%80%932019) and deceased Irish philosopher [James McEvoy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_McEvoy_(philosopher))? I get them mixed up all the time.
