Lord of the Rings helped me solidify who Sean Astin is.

Father Time took care of the rest.

These are, in no particular order, Margot Robbie, Emma Mackey, Faith Ford, Jamie Pressley, Samara Weaving, and Jaime King.

[not_what_you_d_expect]

Gawd, I’m only fairly certain about Margot Robbie. So this is what getting old is like.

I want the picture labeled to see if I know what’s what. I think Robbie is bottom right.

[Wolf333]

Bottom right is Jamie Presley, top right Faith, bottom left Samara.

I have actually seen more Samara Weaving films than Margot Robbie films.

[not_what_you_d_expect]

Well, if I’m wrong about the bottom right being Margot, then I don’t even get that one.

[GuanoLad]

Correct. The order is:
Jaime King - Margot Robbie - Faith Ford
Samara Weaving - Emma Mackey - Jamie Pressley

Emma Mackey actually appeared in Barbie as one of the Barbies, which I think was deliberate for her looky-likey-ness.

And, for reasons perhaps best left unexamined, we find ourselves living in the age of the Chrises

I had trouble keeping Chris Farley and Chris Rock straight

The way to tell the difference is that one of them is dead.

[Lumpy]

Back in the 1970s I thought Gil Gerard looked and sounded a lot like Lee Majors. Maybe not identical but strongly reminiscent.

Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman.

To the point that, in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, when they were both teenagers, Knightley played a character named Sabé, who served as the decoy/double for Portman’s character, Queen Amidala, due to the similarity of their looks.

(Having watched the movie many times, I figured out that I could tell the difference between the two, due to eyebrow shape, and a mole on Portman’s cheek.)

IIRC, they are/were rather different in skin color.

I’m not sure if this is just legend, but supposedly once they were in makeup, their own parents had a bit of trouble distinguishing them.

I remember reading exactly that story when the movie came out. It might well have been exaggeration, but it’s a cute story.

Probably not so much anymore.

[Seanette]

This is true.

So very good riposte!

[markn_1]

I guess when you look at them side by side they don’t look all that similar, but I’ve frequently confused George C. Scott and Everett Sloane.

@Seanette

Skin color probably not the first thing I’d notice about Rock and Farley.

[Gyrate]

I sometimes confuse Lashana Lynch and Condola Rashad. When I see their pictures together they don’t really look alike but when I only see one I have to doublecheck which one it is.

[Alessan]

I recently found out that I’m the only person who confuses Ryan Gosling with Jake Gyllenhaal. I’ve always thought their resemblance was obvious.
