Paul Newman -- Pauly Shore

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

Go!

Sasha Cohen and Sacha Baron Cohen

An SDMB classic: Jerry Lewis & Jerry Lee Lewis

Goodness gracious, great balls of…HEY LADY!!

James Dean and Jimmy Dean
Buster Keaton and Buster Crabbe
Doctor Spock and Mister Spock
Zsa Zsa Gabor and Zasu Pitts
Judy Garland and Judy Tenuta
Dudley Moore and Dudley Doright

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

Anyway:

Adolf Hitler and Adolph “Harpo” Marx
Bruce Vilanch and Bruce Willis
Carrie Nation and Carrie Bradshaw
Charles Bronson and Charles Nelson Reilly
Hugh Grant and Lou Grant

CAN’T believe nobody’s said:
**
Barrack Obama** and Osama Bin Laden

Joseph Goebbels and George Gobel
Bat Masterson and Lucille Ball

Tommy Lee and Tommy Lee Jones

Seth McFarland, Seth Green, and Bruce Seth Green.

Apparently I’m the only one who doesn’t get this. So allow me to say “huh?”

I think it’s a play on Bat/Ball. Though, I don’t think anyone would get the two actors confused.

Okay, who’s he confused with? :wink:

Do we have us a Things that go in the night?

Or maybe Cars?

Oksana Baiul and Osama Bin Laden.

Gene Simmons and Jean Simmons?

Rick Scott, Scott Walker, Rick Perry.

Rand Paul, Paul Ryan, Ron Paul.
On second thought, those are pretty much interchangable.

Leslie Caron and Leslie Nielsen
