[QUOTE=spoke-] I was watching some old footage of Pink Floyd the other night, and I was struck by how much [David Gilmour](http://www.multinet.no/~jonarne/Hjemmesia/Favorittartister/pinkfloyd/david_gilmour_2.jpg) resembles [Leonardo DiCaprio](http://www.collagefoundation.org/people/main-dicaprio.gif) [/QUOTE] By the way Leo, get ready: [here’s your future](http://schmaltz.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/davidgilmour14_5_20022.jpg). ---

I totally agree about Brian Cox and Albert Finney. I actually don’t think there _is_ a difference. I can’t find good pictures to support this one, but I think Keri Russell is like Natalie Portman turned up to 11. [Clay Aiken](http://www.foxnews.com/images/225162/1_61_clay_aiken.jpg) looks frighteningly like [Paul Rubens](http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1153/wi20010329_PaulReubens_Granitz_163169.jpg.html?path=pgallery&path_key=Reubens,%20Paul&seq=18). ---

There is a guy on one episode of Starsky and Hutch (Episode 9 of season 2: Nightmare) who looks _exactly_ like Jack Black. I mean, it’s absolutely ridiculous. I took three screen captures: [Picture 1](http://www.123pichosting.com/viewer.php?id=8070jackblack3.jpg) [Picture 2](http://www.123pichosting.com/viewer.php?id=665jackblack2.jpg) [Picture 3](http://www.123pichosting.com/viewer.php?id=7357jackblack.jpg) ---

When Tim Burton makes the mistake of putting a hat on his wild hair and pulling some of it back, he sometimes looks like Jerry Seinfeld. Just sometimes. ---

When I watched my first episode of _Sports Night_ a few months ago, I was thinking it was funny I didn’t notice Nathan Fillion on the opening credits. It was only after checking the credits on imdb I found he didn’t play Casey. ---

I can’t very well pass up the chance to point out the uncanny resemblance of [Skeet Ulrich](http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=skeet+ulrich) to my [darling](http://adorocinema.cidadeinternet.com.br/personalidades/atores/johnny-depp/johnny-depp02.jpg) . I swear it was a few years after “As good as it gets” came out that I realized the hustler wasn’t played by Johnny.

I used to get [Charlize Theron](http://www.webwombat.com.au/lifestyle/fashion_beauty/images/theron1.JPG) and [Ashley Judd](http://www.bartcop.com/judd-open.jpg) mixed up. It doesn’t help that they change their hairstyles so radically from movie to movie. And now you get [Scarlet Johanson](http://pub.tv2.no/multimedia/na/archive/00200/scarlett-johanson_200278m.jpg) in the mix… Um… 'scuse me… I’ll be in my bunk. ---

Back inthe 90s, I was dating a girl who used to watch _Felcity_ with Keri Russel as the lead actor. I never paid attention to the show at all. So I must ruefully admit that I thought [Amy Jo Johnson](http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/149/amyjojohnson048imgzc0.jpg) and [Jennifer Garner](http://eur.i1.yimg.com/eur.yimg.com/xp/premiere_photo/20050831/10/1596915008.jpg) were not only the same character, but the same person. ---
