Grandfather, father, grandson.
The chosen pictures may not best represent this, but I could easily buy these three as a family.
Zach Braff (Scrubs) looks like he could be the brother of that guy from Ed. Which is why they played brothers on Scrubs.
Sometimes the obvious casting actually happens. Like when Matthew McConnaghy(?) and Woody Harrelson played brothers.
Every time I see X-Man I keep thinking that Hugh Jackman reminds me of a young Clint Eastwood.
I’m at work so I can’t use the image search function, but I’ve always thought Tim Roth and Jake Weber looked like brothers. If they were, Jake would be the good one and Tim the troubled one who knocked up the minister’s daughter.
I always confuse those two.
That’s kinda why Kneightley is famous. First I ever saw her was in The Phantom Menace, when she played Portman’s decoy.
Before Harrison Ford started showing his age, I thought Dennis Quaid could be his older, drunker brother.
and
which is doubly odd when you consider Tim Allen’s real last name is Dick, and that Andy was adopted, and his adoptive father’s name is Allen Dick.

So what does all this tell us? That fitting a certain mold with your looks will carry you a long way towards fortune and fame. Or, it’s no surprise that famous people look like each other–it’s having those looks that makes them famous. With variations, of course.
Neil Young, Garrison Keillor & Dan Ackroyd
And for a while I confused Hugh Grant with Richard E. Grant, and once I realized they were two different people, I then thought they were brothers
Zack Braff and David Duchovny
Jimmy Kimmel and Al Gore
Kurt Russell and Tim Matheson
Aishwarya Rai looks like a young, thin, Indian Kirstie Alley
They also pointed out in an episode of “Ed” that Tom Cavanaugh kinda looks like Jon Stewart.
I was going to post Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, just to see the blurb on IMDB saying that Emilio is his son… :smack: (And that Sheen is just a stage name!)
So instead I’ll have to go with Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon

I had a whole group of celebrity savy people thinking that Sandra Bullock was George Hamilton’s daughter.
I used to confuse those two all the time, and have embarrassed myself here on the SDMB because of it.
I thought of another one.
Ralph Fiennes looks so much like Liam Neeson it’s scary.
