My wife and I have been watching old Rockford Files reruns and Robert Webber is one of those guest stars who pops up once or twice a season. At some point I realized how much he reminds me of Bryan Cranston.

Here’s a helpful guide, if the acting is wooden and stiff it’s Bill Pullman. If it’s rich and folksy, it’s Paxton.

I would swear if held at gunpoint that was Cillian Murphy in a baseball uniform. Probably for some role.
I still am confused that it isn’t.

This is a good point. Lonestar of _Spaceballs_ and PFC Hudson of _Aliens_ are very different.

IMHO, Patrick Swayze & Kurt Russell were interchangeable action stars during the late-Eighties/early-Nineties.

David Keith is the one I used to confuse for Swayze all the time.

ROFL, looking into it more, it _is_ Cillian Murphy. Or more accurately, it’s not Tyler Glasnow.

> by Adam Moynihan A photograph of an MLB player who looks identical to Cork actor Cillian Murphy went viral last weekend. If you were online then you probably saw it. The Twitter account @CodifyBaseball posted the picture just after midnight on Friday...
That’s for a different image but you can tell it had been given the same manipulation.

Tyler Glasnow does bear a passing resemblance to Murphy, but it’s not _that_ close.

No worries, obviously a lot of people were tricked and so were media outlets.
I did a Google reverse image search and think I found where it came from:

Note that’s the same source as the other debunked image.
I have looked at a lot of other people hosting that picture and they are all after that date, so I’m confident this is where it came from.
