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!

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.

Alia Shawkat & Natasha Lyonne


Alia Shawkat has the deep brown, incredulous eyes that Natasha Lyonne has, and they have freckles up the wazoo. Why, then, was it so hard to find two pictures that look more alike?

Lookalike Verdict: Change one's hair and you've got sisters!

Paul F. Tompkins & Ryan Pinkston


 I know what you're thinking - isn't that the kid from one of Andy Richter's several doomed sitcoms, Quintuplets? Yep, you're 100% right. Perhaps if they had let me cast the siblings, it might still be on the air today. And all the quints would be at college together, spending $250,000+ a year and talking about boners or whatever the show was about. Anyways the runt of the litter, played by Ryan Pinkston, had The Last Catchphrase in Television History. It was "You likey????" and it was my favorite thing to say during the summer of 2004. And then I promptly forgot about it until right now.

Ryan Pinkston got his start on Punk'd alongside Dax Shepard. Paul F. Tompkins got his start (as far as I know)* as a talking head on vh1's "I Love This Particular Decade" series. They look alike, but they could look more alike if Ryan Pinkston would put on a suit every once in a while. Just saying, maybe Andy Richter's got one you could borrow.

*Paul F. Tompkins started out on Mr. Show with Bob & David! Thank god for that parenthetical - saved my life. And thanks for the info below!
