Danny Bonaduce and Bill Mumy could play brothers (as they are now, not as kids). As kids, Ron Howard and Billy Mumy could be brothers.
Anthony Hopkins and Richard Burton could play relatives.
David Duchovny and (a younger) Richard Gere.
Also from the X-files: Bruce Harwood (Lone Gunmen Byers) looks exactly like Jonathan Frakes (Riker) from Star Trek TNG.
Oops. Should have put “could have played relatives”, as Burton died in 1984.
Kinda obscure, but Sean Bean (Boromir in FOTR) and Iain Glen (Hamlet in the film “Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead”) could be brothers.
Vanessa Richardson and Natasha McElhone look sufficiently alike that they convincingly played the same character at different ages in “Mrs. Dalloway”.
Luke Wilson and Christian Bale.
I think Teri Hatcher and Alyssa Milano could play sisters.
I think they explained that one by making all the “son’s” have different fathers.
The dude who played Faramir in LOTR:TTT (too lazy to search for his name) and Thom Yorke from Radiohead. They both have some sort of crazy eyelid thing going on.
Gotta agree with everyone who said Bruce Campbell and Nicholas Brendan. (I can’t decide if a Buffy/Evil Dead crossover would be hella cool or suck major ass. Maybe a one-shot “Elseworlds” type thing…)
Christian Bale and Tom Cruise.
Robert De Niro and Alec Baldwin as father and son
Ed Norton and Kevin Spacey could convincingly play immediate family.
Not sure exactly what relationship would work, since the age difference is too small for a credible father/son thing, but big enough to be unusual for siblings. Ah, hell… I just checked the IMDB and it turns out that I was born the same year as Norton & my oldest sister was born the same year as Spacey. So I guess they could play brothers with no trouble.
I just rewatched Fight Club today, and kept thinking, ‘Damn, Edward Norton looks a lot like Kevin Spacey.’ (And that was before the ‘negotiations’ with the uptight boss reminded me of American Beauty…)
Hey xanadu,
Matt Damon and Brad Pitt DID do a movie together, though
not as relatives - Ocean’s Eleven
Emilio Estevez and Charlie Sheen.
The late James Coco, the late Robert Middleton, and Michael Constantine.
Hmmmm… things to do tonight:
- Rent Ocean’s Eleven
