Roger Clemens / Roberto Clemente / Bob Clemens. Which is sort of ridiculous apart from all being baseball players. Also, the third played for like one season almost a hundred years ago and I don't know how I know who he is.

I used to mix up Roger Clemens and Wade Boggs!

Haha. Maybe just try to remember that Wade Boggs did those hair loss commercials.

(Oh, I see the first two were already posted. I don't really get the sci-fi writer William Gibson confused with anyone else, but it's confusing that there's a playwright also named William Gibson, along with writers Goldman and Golding.)

for some reason

actors marshall bell (kuato!)

and geoffrey lewis (known best maybe for playing the outlaw leader in high plains drifter)

they're not even really of the same era, i guess they just always showed up in various interesting roles and kinda looked slightly similar.

Americans have heard of Rikky Rooksby?

(I know he's written a couple of books but they're in a pretty over-crowded field and I know the name mostly for him writing for many years for a magazine that was handed out free in music equipment shops across the UK)

(PS seems a good guy and have probably learnt a few things from him, so this is not intended as an insult)
(PPS Kompakt act The Field's real name is Axel Willner, if you want to add anyone else to the confusion whirlpool)

Probably not the thread for this, but
the "h" that seems to have gone missing from John Entwistle's name and appeared in Pete Townshend's.

Wheatus and Weezer. Both were punkish American rock bands that had a novelty hit song in the 90s, never could remember which was which.
