Today in the Dead Pool some names that might be confused for each other, such as Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, or Bill Paxton and Bill Pullman, got me wondering if we might have a go at some sort of game where we pair two names that appear similar but which conjure up totally opposite, or at least incongruent, personalities.
The more antithetical the better.
Sandra Dee and Sandra Bernhard
Sean Connery and Sean Astin
Ricky Martin and Ricky Gervais
Buddy Holly and Buddy Ebsen
James Dean and Jimmy Dean
Buster Keaton and Buster Crabbe
Doctor Spock and Mister Spock
Zsa Zsa Gabor and Zasu Pitts

I still say Jackie Cooper and Jackie Coogan is not the equivalent of Jerry Lewis and Jerry Lee Lewis.
Anyway:
