Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

Warren Ellis (Both of them)
Warren Oates
Warren Buffett

Got Madeline Kahn and Carol Kane confused so much as a kid that I still think of both of them nearly every time I see either one. Realised the other day that I may have also had Bernadette Peters mixed up in there, too.

LOL yes I was about to mention Bernadette Peters.

Being compelled to watch the 1982 Annie adap rn, can confirm the above.

Jason Sudekis
Jason Mantzoukas

Marc Maron
Marc Moulin

I confess I don't know who Marc Maron is and every time I see the WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast) thread, I have to stop and think, "What was the name of that guy who was in Telex... the one who's dead?" Well, the guy who was in Telex... the one who's dead is Marc Moulin.

Tom Hardy
Tom Hiddleston
Tom Holland
Tom Huddlestone

Hiddlestone and Hardy are both actors who I don't know how they don't die of embarrassment at how bad they are. Holland is pretty good at times and Huddlestone looked like a right prospect playing for Derby against us in the league cup when he was like 18 or something for Derby, not followed his career since but I'm sure he never embarrassed himself as much at Spurs as Hiddlestone did playing Hank Williams or Hardy playing Al Capone recently.

Hiddlestone and Hardy. I have to google to make sure I'm not mixing them up. Wouldn't recognize Holland. Had all but forgotten Huddlestone but sometimes have to stop and think whether Hiddleston is called Huddlestone or not. Also I keep thinking there's another acting Tom I've omitted.

Revised list:

Tom Hardy
Tom Hiddleston
Tom Holland
Tom Hollander
Tom Huddleston

I WENT into a public 'ouse to get a pint o' beer,
The publican 'e up an' sez, " We serve no red-coats here."
The girls be'ind the bar they laughed an' giggled fit to die,
I outs into the street again an' to myself sez I:
O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' " Tommy, go away "

I thought ILB FAPs were bad with their three Toms!

Cathal Coughlan and Katell keineg

There are two Tom Hollands.

xxp
It's Hollander I meant not that little spider-shit Holland. He's a useless little shit as well and I used to know his uncle!

A surfeit of Toms.

It wasn't even his uncle I knew it was his second cousin and he was a complete cock as well. his dad Dominic Holland is a "comedian" of the British comedy scene who also is a published author btw.

Let's call the while thing off

Michael Sheen
Michael Shannon

the latter is the one who sounds like he has a toothpick in his mouth

If somebody mentions Sheen or Shannon, I just ask "Is that the elfin one?"

Regina King and Regina Hall (the names, not the persons, obv), and then sometimes Rebecca Hall comes to muddy things up, such as when she decides to make her feature-film directorial debut at the same time as Regina King's.

Just realized I was conflating Dick van Patten with Jerry van Dyke. Subsequently realized that I have no actual reason to be thinking about either of these people.

how about Dick Shawn, are you thinking about Dick Shawn?

Is that the New Yorker editor or the guy from The Princess Bride?

Sarah Champion, music journalist
Sarah Champion, MP

I've just this minute checked Wiki to check if they aren't the same person.

Phil Elverum
Phil Ek
Daniel Ek

Just realized I was conflating Dick van Patten with Jerry van Dyke.

And I would have blithely continued doing the same if I hadn't read this.

Malcolm Gladwell
Malcolm Gaskill

can I suggest Mary Gaitskill

we should be striving for equity in current times

Curtis Hanson

This thread is so hard to load.

I think those are all songs but I don’t know if I have ever heard any of them. At least one of them is a meme of some kind that I don’t understand. Anyway I hope they’re all fine.

they are all fun pop songs that I've heard on TV

Rod Steiger
Roy Scheider

I do know which is which, but when one is mentioned it takes me a moment to remember which name goes with which face.

Not an "always" situation but when I heard on the radio that Prince Phillip had died for a second or two I was thinking Prince Charles.

If only

No, Charles has to survive to fuck up the monarchy once and for all.

Bermuda
The Bahamas

I don't really get them mixed up , but whenever I picture Jack Antonoff in my mind I imagine him looking more like Antony Fantano.
