We were just discussing at work how mysteriously dead heiress [Doris Duke](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.projo.com/specials/century/month12/images/notables.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.projo.com/specials/century/month12/notables.htm&h=310&w=287&sz=19&hl=en&start=15&tbnid=OVnyjAzTadOt1M:&tbnh=117&tbnw=108&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2522doris%2Bduke%2522%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG), director [Quentin Tarantino](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.kfilmu.net/obrazky/herci/quentin-tarantino.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.kfilmu.net/osobnosti.php%3Fsekce%3Dinformace%26osoba%3Dquentin-tarantino&h=218&w=170&sz=28&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=k8rTMlVAaJl-IM:&tbnh=107&tbnw=83&prev=/images%3Fq%3D%2522quentin%2Btarantino%2522%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG), and [the kid from Mask](http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pauldavidson.net/wp-content/themes/wfme/images/entries/ericmask.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.pauldavidson.net/2006/05/22/if-i-had-actually-been-that-kid-eric-stoltz-played-in-mask/&h=150&w=150&sz=4&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=6TOCt7RoE3nPlM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=96&prev=/images%3Fq%3Deric%2Bstoltz%2Bmask%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DG) all look alike.

If [Paul Rudd](http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/4897/Events/4897/PaulSchaef_Watts_8994967_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Rudd,%20Paul%20(I)) and [D.B. Sweeney](http://imdb.com/gallery/hh/0000665/db.jpg.html?seq=2) weren’t 8 years apart in age, I’d swear they were twins. I also got made fun of endlessly by my friends for insisting while watching “Father of the Bride” that the groom was played by Paul Rudd. The actual actor was [George Newbern](http://friends.norge.cc/bilder/george%20newbern.jpg) (small pic). ---

Craig Sheffer and David Boreanaz always baffle me with their similarity. And Margaret Colin and Elizabeth Perkins. Uncanny. ---
