Dominic's Call: Stanley Tucci & Mark Strong


 I recently got a comment on the Alexis Bledel & Robin Tunney post that suggested this pairing, and boy, is it exactly right. Stanley Tucci and Mark Strong look so much alike, I spent most of Sherlock Holmes trying to figure out exactly whom to hate. Although Tucci and Strong typically play nice guys and mean guys respectively, they have a very similar aura. It's like they're made of the same DNA and one guy grew up in a supportive environment whereas the other grew up in a mob-owned dumpster.

I also think Mark Strong looks exactly like Andy Garcia. Oddly I don't see any such resemblance between Tucci and Garcia.

Vincent Kartheiser & Elizabeth Olsen


The other day I was curious about Vincent Kartheiser, who plays Pete Campbell on Mad Men. Is he like Pete in real life, or is he in fact a total hippie with long hair and pouty lips? He is the latter, and for that he looks like Elizabeth Olsen. Look at the way their hair meets their foreheads. Look at their nose & mouth area. Look at their disillusioned green eyes. They're basically twinzos.

Young James Spader & Gabriel Mann

     

If there's anyone better than James Spader Now, it's James Spader Then. When Spader was younger, his narrow face honed his now-trademark bitterness, and his aviators harbingered the slippery juggernaut he would one day become. 

It's time to make a movie about young James Spader. And Gabriel Mann, from Revenge and (more importantly) the Mad Men episodes when Betty was riding horses a lot, should play him. 

Proof:

Jeanne Tripplehorn & Sela Ward


As far as I know, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Sela Ward must go up for the same parts a lot of the time. Maybe one day they could play adult sisters (if they haven't already), not quite twins but much closer than "regular" siblings. It will be called the Trippletwins.

Justin Theroux & Jesse Bradford

   

Justin Theroux - who wrote Tropic Thunder, acted in The Ten, and will be directing Zoolander 2 - is a jack of all trades. He also looks sort of like Jesse Bradford, who played Eliza Dushku's brother in Bring It On
Sharp noses + big black eyebrows + jawbone = lookalikesies

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?
