Good call.





Can't say that I've ever confused them for another, but Hope Davis and Nina Siemaszko certainly have very simlar looks. They could play sisters, anyway.

Hope gets the more work of the two (American Splendor, Proof, About Schmidt, The Secret Lives of Dentists, Next Stop Wonderland, The Daytrippers, Arlington Road, Mumford, The Weather Man) and will wind up with an Oscar nomination one of these days. Nina, young sister of Casey Siemaszko (Biloxi Blues, Young Guns, Breaking In), mostly toils in series television in supporting and guest starring roles.

Now do you know who I'm talking about? Yeah, her name is Laura, and she has a career beyond an R-rated lesbian scene in a David Lynch movie.
Actually looks a little Marina Sirtis there

Yup, they still confuse the heck out of me. I have to keep checking their fimographies to make sure I got the right one.



The Adventure Starts Here!
HOW did I just read through three pages of this thread and not see anyone list the "famous" confusion that even the two actors themselves joke about all the time:

Laurence Fishburne and Samuel L. Jackson?

Then again, I think it doesn't happen as much nowadays with Jackson so much on the rise and Fishburne hardly seen at all ... but I used to confuse these two guys back in the day when they were both a lot less famous and doing smaller roles.

I'm just shocked that Jackson even got mentioned ... but not compared to Fishburne.

Oh, and Yoda? The Crudup/Schaech thing: I do believe that your lowly mother was the one who pointed out to you with 100% certainty in her voice that you were wrong and it wasn't Crudup in That Thing You Do!

Just thought I'd get my credit where it's due, bud. It's so seldom that I best you on anything movie-related...



I used to have trouble determining Mark Wahlberg from Matt Damon but no longer.

My sis thinks Kevin Spacey is John Malkovich a lot and vice versa. Don't ask why.

I used to get Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton mixed up. Even now, sometimes when I hear Bill Paxton's name or see him listed on the credits my minds eye see's Bill Pullman's face.

Strange that you mention it my father does the same mistake and he even argues with me that the President of the US in Independence day is Bill Paxton

No, you're not the only one...seeing as two other people on the page before this one said as much. You know, if you bothered to actually read through the thread you could have answered your own question.

Or was it rhetorical?
