I just watched “Hot Fuzz” and I swear that Simon Pegg must be the son of Michael Kitchen. Anyone else noticed the resemblance? Especially in their voices, accents, and mouth movements.

Voices and mannerisms, mebbe. But I don’t see much facial resemblance.

I thought the lower half of Pegg’s face, in particular, was strikingly similar to Kitchen’s. Not only his voice, but his lip and mouth movements seemed to be identical.

Could just be me though.

I like them both, but I don’t see any resemblance whatsoever.
