This thread is too large to search...I'm guessing Alan Hamel (Suzanne Somers' husband) / Alan Thicke (pop-star father) have been mentioned. Both Canadian. Hamel came up in conversation tonight.

Not always--not till today. I just finished a documentary on Arthur Russell, and it wasn't until three-quarters of the way through that I clued into the fact that I wasn't watching a documentary on Arthur Baker.

Speaking of J.G. Ballard always puts me in mind of Crash (1996) vs. Crash (2004).
Then you get Robert Ballard, who is associated with the Titanic. Which kinda famously... crashed.

Like, I know who they both are and what they're famous for, but get their names confused. And I did therefore think for ages that Midge Ure was married to the former-tennis-player one.
