These actors are not siblings, no matter what I think.

Not a sibling mix up, but I thought Skeet Ukrich in As Good as it Gets was Johnny Depp and I couldn’t figure out why he wasn’t in the credits :smack:

I give you Sean Connery as Allan Quatermain, Naseeruddin Shah as Captain Nemo, and Stuart Townsend as Johnny Depp in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Very Deppesque / Jack Sparrow sans make up

If I have it right, it went like this.

Amidala was the Queen. She had a handmaiden named Sabe, who looked like her. So Sabe would pretend to be Amidala. When Sabe was doing this, the real Amidala would pretend to be a handmaiden named Padme. So when people were talking to the fake Amidala (Sabe) the real Amidala (Padme) would be standing unnoticed a few feet away, listening to what was being said and signaling Sabe on what to say.

Portman played Padme and Knightley played Sabe. Whoever was playing Amidala would wear a massive costume and wig and a lot of make-up which, combined with their physical resemblance, made it hard to tell them apart. Making it even more confusing, Knightley has said that there were times when she stood in for Portman and played Padme as Amidala in non-speaking scenes.

I wonder if this newfound understanding of the movie will make it a little better for me. I’ll have to watch it again, I’ve only seen it in its entirety like 3 times.

Arye Gross could easily be Victor Garber’s less-talented little brother.

Spent a quarter of Jurassic World thinking that the actor I am seeing is too young to be Brian Dennehy. Vincent D’ Onofrio never looks the same twice.

For many years I thought M. Emmet Walsh and J.T. Walsh were brothers.

Elias Koteas and Christopher Meloni.

Actually, I don’t think they’re siblings. I think they’re the same person.

It gets more confusing, because the Queen wasn’t just pretending to be “a handmaiden named Padme.” Her given name was, in fact, Padme! So she was “hiding” by pretending to be someone who had the same name as herself.

How does that work, exactly? “No, you evil Trade Federation agent, I’m not the one you want! You’re looking for Padme, but I’m Padme!” That’s even worse “hiding” than Obi-Wan changing his first name to “Ben,” but keeping the “Kenobi” part.

Is this because she’s a lesbian?

Well, THAT came out nowhere!

Although when your main plan to avoid assassination is to stand two feet away from the intended target at all times, any step that comes next probably isn’t going to make much of a difference anyway.

Elijah Wood and Tobey Maguire

I can never figure out which is which when watching a movie.

[Morbo]

Not brothers, (also not the same person): James McAvoy and Luke Evans

Yes, but not for the first time.

When the villain in a recent episode of Chicago PD (and Fire and SVU…crossovers) came on screen I thought wow, Pete Holmes is going very dark. I am a fan of his silliness and comedy. Turns out it was his fake brother Dallas Roberts instead. (Does this mean that John Ritter isn’t their dad?)
