Actors You Mistake for Other Actors
 
I can't be the only one who does this... :rolleys:


I was absolutely certain that
Julie Bowen
b. 1970

Co-star of tv's Ed

had begun her career in Girl Interrupted.
But that was Clea Duvall
b. 1977

Who confuses you?

After seeing Mission: Impossible III, I was damn near certain that Billy Crudup, who plays Musgrave...

...was actually Jonathon Schaech, AKA Jimmy from That Thing You Do!

Hmmmm I'll need to think about this one.

Does confusing Clive Owen with Treebeard count? :D

As far as purely name-based confusion goes, I was forever getting that spate of three-pronged actresses mixed up when reading about them - Sarah Jessica Parker, Penelope Ann Miller, Mary-Louise Parker, Mary Stuart Masterson, Zsa Zsa Gabor etc.

I was always 100% with my mental image of Kristin Scott Thomas, however. :love:

That tripod image isn't working... Do mean this guy?

I can kinda see that.



Tacitus ~ thanks for the explanation of "three pronged actresses", I was picturing John Cameron Mitchell and Jaye Davidson. ;) And yeah, Kristin Scott Thomas is like no one.

I confused Tommy Lee Jones with the rapist in Pulp Fiction.

I often confuse the Knicks for a good team.

There was this one actor that commited suicide. I confused him for Billy Bob Thorton.

The Knicks? Good? Yeah, "confused" would be an understatement! :D Hence the R.I.P. in my name.

Cheers on the immaturity, however....

Aniko 07-11-06 11:39 AM

When I see them in the magazines, I sometimes confuse...

Charlize Theron...and...

Naomi Watts.

Absolutey! I love it! What a man.~


:D

SamsoniteDelilah 07-11-06 01:37 PM

Annie, I've never noticed the similarity between Theron and Watts before, but now that you mention it... yeah!

Revenant 07-11-06 04:00 PM

I confuse this...

Man... that did wonders for the mouthful of soup I just swallowed...

Funny how Hugh Grant is so hot here, and so NOT there. Well, he was hot here, anyway.. maybe I just answered my own question. Wonder where he'll go next? :p

I ofen confuse Bill Pullman for Bill Paxton because of their names...

SamsoniteDelilah 07-11-06 09:23 PM

How about Corey Feldman and Corey Haim?

Yeah... I mistake them for each other.

CaptainCrunch 07-12-06 05:08 PM

I used to get Jeremy Piven confused with Jon Favreau all the time... but now they are no where near the same weight so it's much easier, and sadder for Jon I'm assuming.
