Not a name-based relationship, but I always thought that Kiefer Sutherland looked like the son of Canadian rock trio RUSH’s guitarist, Alex Lifeson. Seriously. Look at [old pics of Alex](http://www.nndb.com/people/548/000025473/alex-lifeson.jpg). It’s like [Kiefer](http://imagesource.allposters.com/images/pic/MMPH/C56580~Kiefer-Sutherland-Posters.jpg) with longer hair. I am also of the opinion that [Barbara Streisand](http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/barbra-streisand/barbra-streisand02.jpg) is just [David Brenner](http://www.whbpac.org/images/event_pics/Brenner.jpg) in drag. Not really, though…anymore than I’m convinced of the identical twinness of [Chef Paul Prudhomme](http://www.neworleansonline.com/images/stories/s.chefprudhomme.jpg) and [also-Chef Dom Deluise](http://www.nndb.com/people/479/000022413/d_deluise.jpg). ---

Jared hess who plays Napoleon Dynamite looks alot like Victor Webster who plays the Nick Alamain character on the Soap “Days of Our Lives”. I thought they were the same guy until I googled them. ---

My 8 yo DS wandered into the room while I was watching Jack Bauer under torture, and returned when Vorenus was coming back into himself to take action. He was pretty sure they are the same guy. I threw the afghan over his head when Jack took out his first bad guy of the night and consigned him to bed yet again.
