Actors who you mistake for other ones.

Reading the Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer thread has reminded me that for many years I thought that Rachel Hurd Wood and Evan Rachel Wood were the same person. They do look like a bit like each other and have bizarrely similar names, so at least I've got an excuse for confusing the two of them, but what other actors do you get mixed up?

    As looks go I used to get Josh Lucas and Matthem McConaghey mixed up.

    The later is a lot more famous and recognisable these days though,

    By name only, I always used to get Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney mixed up.

    Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler, they look nothing alike but I always think of them at the same time, chatted with my brother recently and he thinks the same way!

    Javier Badham and Jeffrey Dean Morgan look so alike. often confused them up in films.

    Kerr Smith and Julian Mcmahon. Kerr looks like a younger version of Julian.

    Emilia Clarke and Piper Perabo. I thought it was piper perabo in Game of thrones which i have never seen but just saw a pic on a site from the show and read that it was Emilia. This was the first time i heard of Emilia.

    Bruce Dern in 'Family Plot' (Hitchcock's last film, 1976) looks and sounds exactly like Nicholas Cage !

    I've done this one too, actually. I remember seeing the trailer for The Possession and being surprised that Javier Bardem was in it :D

    Mariska Hargitay and Lesley Fera

    When doing a binge watch of Pretty Little Liars a few months ago, I was wondering how Mariska managed to get time off from Law and Order:SVU to film PLL, so I looked her up, and discovered it wasn't her in PLL after all, it's Lesley Fera. The likeness is uncanny. Their voices even sound the same.

    Why though as they don't look anything like each other and their names aren't similar either.

    Yeah, Thomas and Cristopher do look really really similar to each other.

    And you have reminded me that I always get James Purefoy and James McAvoy mixed up, just because of their similar names.

    When I went to see Prometheus, I confused Logan Marshall-Green for Tom Hardy. I haven't seen it since it first came out, so maybe he looked nothing like him in the movie, but it genuinely confused me at the time.

    I had the same thing for years! It doesn't happen now though, but reading this post reminded me it did :)
