General Discussion : Actors' faces you mixed up when you were a kid

[Kopenhaver]

My mind was blown when i looked up the cast list to Eight Legged Freaks one day and saw that it was Kari Wührer in it and not Leah Remini.

For a long time I thought Bill Murray was the star of Animal House. Embarrassing.

Good topic idea.

When I was a kid, Richard Pryor and Gregory Hines might as well have been the same guy ("Richard Pryor was a hell of a tap dancer and he once starred as a cop alongside Billy Crystal, right?");





What's sad is that as talented as both men were, they both died within 2 years' of one another, in 2005 and 2003, respectively.

When I was a kiddo, I thought James Woods was Robocop.

I keep thinking that David Arquette was in Fight Club and The Hulk. But I'm pretty sure he wasn't in American History X.

Andy Devine and Slim Pickens have always been problematic for me to the present day; they were both go-to guys for sherriffs/lawmen in westerns.

I was sure it was Slim in THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE until the end titles.

I got very confused between Ryan Reynolds & Ben Afleck in Smoking Aces, mostly in the long shots.

Till Tom Hanks made his appearance in "That thing you do", I wondered if Tom Scott was Tom Hanks with a different hairstyle.

Bradley Cooper and Ralph Fiennes.

Sam Shepard and Dermot Mulrooney

Just found a new one. Apparently I have trouble telling Nathan Fillion and Jason Sudeikis apart.

Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman. Been known to confuse these two in earlier years (not as a child, but more teenage years / early twenties when Keira Knightley started appearing onscreen).
