Schwartzman was on WTF in mid-January and Maron suggested that he start a band with Goldberg.

I once saw Mildred Pierce and Double Indemnity a few weeks apart, and I was convinced that Joan Crawford's husband (Bruce Bennett) and Fred MacMurray's boss (Richard Gaines) were played by the same actor.

I checked, and they were only born two years apart.

hurling (sport) and curling (sport)

I keep thinking hurling is the one with the broom. I'll have to come up with a mnemonic to get these straight.

Until 2 minutes ago, I thought that Jeff Lynne was famous for, in reverse chronological order, producing The Beatles' Anthology singles in the 1990s, being part of the Traveling Wilburys in the 1980s, and in the 1970s recording a musical version of War of the Worlds.

Still getting mixed up. I thought that the War of the Worlds guy got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He certainly deserves one.

Ben E King and Percy Sledge. And to make matters worse, they've gone and died within a couple of weeks of each other!

:(

I may struggle with telling Hailee Steinfeld from Shailene Woodley, Dermot Mulroney from Dylan McDermot, and possibly Djimon Honsou from Chiwetel Ejiofor.

But I don't have trouble telling Ben E King from Percy Sledge. I could better understand Ben E. King being conflated with Sam Cooke, or Percy Sledge being conflated with Otis Redding.

Conflatable: Joey Lauren Adams / Renee Zellweger.

Conflatable: James Coburn / Lee Marvin.

Somewhat conflatable: Lorrie Moore / Ann Beattie.

Somewhat conflatable: Karen Allen / Margot Kidder / Debra Winger.

Jeff Kober is the poor man's Nick Nolte.

Do NOT get me started on Bob Hoskins/Phil Collins.

Do you really get them mixed up or do you think they just look very much alike each other.

Ben E King and Percy Sledge had re-issued singles in the charts at more or less the same in 1987. Stand By Me got to number 1 and When A Man Loves a Woman to number 2. So the confusion has been there since I was 12.

RIchard Deacon/Roger Bowen

Good one.

Thanks.

Richard Schaal/Richard Stahl

Bernie Sanders/Barney Frank

Florence and the Machine
St. Vincent

John Lackey and Jon Lester.

Ohio Express and Ohio Players, but usually just for a few seconds.

Would make a great oldies double bill.

Theodore Bikel
Ted V. Mikels

Pete Shelly > Peter Schilling > Planet P

Ted Templeman
Russ Titelman

Yes, and coincidentally both worked with Beefheart (separately).

aramis ramirez, asdrubal cabrera

Tobey Maguire and Elijah Wood.

I've always mixed Tobey McGuire and Jake Gyllenhaal too, maybe because they've both played angsty teenagers.

I'm watching some of Spiderman 3 on TV, so let me add Tobey Maguire and Topher Grace.

i still get tobey maguire & elijah wood mixed up

Ta-Nehisi Coates, Sasha Frere-Jones

not 'always' but a current mental muddle between:

spongebob squarepants
sufjan stevens

Michael Ball/Michael Bublé

only realised this recently because there's a 20-something girl I work with who occasionally talks about how much she fancies Michael Bublé, and I always thought this was odd and was not the kind of guy I thought she would go for, and then I found out that the man I was picturing was actually Michael Ball

Jonathan Franzen
