Sorry for the bump, but it just occurred to me [Trey Parker](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005295/) of South Park fame looks just like the younger brother of [Ray Stevenson](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Stevenson_%28actor%29) who plays Pullo in the HBO show _Rome_. ---

[QUOTE=Argent Towers] 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) [/QUOTE] Thats Jack Brown 🙂 ---

Oh, hey. The David Cassidy thread just jogged my memory. I’ve always thought that [Nicholas Lea](http://www.nicklea.com/images/glasgow.jpg) who played Krycek on _The X-files_ looked a fair bit like [Shaun Cassidy](http://www.lost45.com/images/shauncass.jpg). Or at least he looks more like Shaun Cassidy than David Cassidy does. ---

The resemblance between former baseball player Darryl Strawberry and Dino (the pet dinosaur from the Flintstones) was uncanny. First remarked upon in Spy magazine if I remember correctly. ---

[Robert Sean Leonard](http://entimg.msn.com/i/150/TV/2/Leonard_RM88038251_150x225.jpg) (Dr Wilson on _House_) and [Thomas Gibson](http://www.serienjunkies.de/Seriendarsteller/Thomas-Gibson/Thomas-Gibson.jpg) (Greg from _Dharma and Greg_ and Hotch from _Criminal Minds_).
