Kenneth Branaugh & Kiefer Sutherland

   

Kenneth Branagh and Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland look alike. One's Northern Irish and the other's Canadian, which explains the vaguely-English twin thing they have going. Kenneth, Kiefer: this crumpet's for you!

The Killing Lady & Dylan Baker, who plays preachers a lot

   

Mireille Enos of AMC's The Killing looks a lot like Dylan Baker of Amy Sedaris's Strangers With Candy (et al). You could use this casting for a movie where transgendered lookalikes trade families but the families are so bland, they decide to just be together instead and go on a bank robbing spree because look at that face! Who would suspect that face?

Benicio Del Toro & Brad Pitt when they both have beards

    

"These beards...they weigh our faces down so that we have to squint and feel stress in our forehead areas."

Timothy Busfield & A.D. Miles

    

Poindexter from Revenge of the Nerds is quite possibly the best redhead in the world, period. And A.D. Miles looks enough like him to make me go ahead and say it: They were WRONG for shelving the Revenge of the Nerds reboot and they will LIVE to regret it. Also, A.D. Miles is a very good redhead.

A.D. Miles and Timothy Busfield forever!

Tracy Reiner (Betty Spaghetti) & Janice from The Sopranos

   

Lo and behold, Betty Spaghetti was not played by Tony Soprano's sister! Doesn't it seem like she was, though? Betty Spaghetti was actually played by Tracy Reiner, who is Penny Marshall's daughter and Rob Reiner's step-daughter. Janice Baccalieri nee Soprano was played by Aida Turturro, who is cousins with John (at least according to Wikipedia). These are not the same actress. I'm positive.

John C. Reilly & The Guy from Deep Space Nine (Colm Meaney)

For a long time I was the kid telling every person on earth that John C. Reilly got his start on Star Trek. "Captain! The misinformation...it's filling the air...with suffocating...falsehoods...Ay ay, cap'n. Let us go into hyperdrive." That is something John C. Reilly has probably never said. Or IS it????????

Clearly this would come in handy in a future Star Trek episode where Colm Meaney meets his boisterous, mildly brain damaged doppelganger.

Telly Monster & Jim Belushi

Jim Henson was already one of my favorite people ever, but now that I realize he clearly modeled Telly Monster after Jim Belushi, I appreciate him even more. Eyebrows, nose, hapless look. Telly could easily have slipped into the Mr. Destiny role, and Jim could easily slip into a pink furry vest and immediately be dogpiled by kids. Wah wahhhhhhhhh.
