More serious answers:

Brian Dennehy and Charles Durning
Kevin Kline and Kevin Spacey
Tom Hanks and Michael Keaton (when they were just getting known)

Chris Tucker & Chris Rock. Were they both in Bad Boys, or just one of them?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 09:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Chris Tucker & Chris Rock

OTM

You study Finnish? Dare I ask the reason for this?

I am willing to bet that the word 'Moomin' is involved somewhere.

joanna newsom & regina spektor

I call bullshit on this, no-one in the history of the world sounds like Joanna Newsom.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 09:12 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

but jake's such much cuter!

I always confuse "nausated" and "nauseous"

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't think he's cuter, a bit too clear-cut and masculine for my tastes.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

The way to tell rip torn and rip taylor apart is that the names go to the opposite of who you'd expect- the serious actor is torn and the comedian is taylor.

insofar as they are (a) contemporary female musicians i haven't listened to (b) whose names have the same rhythmic scansion (amphibrach trochee), you can keep that bullshit call. nyah.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Rip Taylor is obviously the more comedic name. "Rip Tailor" -- get it??

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 16:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah. Then THAT's the way to tell them apart.

― The Redd And The Blecch (Ken L), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 20:29 (seventeen years ago) link

wow, I had been mixing those guys up and didn't even realize it.

― Ms Misery (MissMiseryTX), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 20:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I used to get these guys confused
Louis Hayes and Roy Haynes

Then I got these guys confused for a second
Jason Mraz and Jason Lindner

And I still haven't got these guys straight
Avishai Cohen (Trumpet) and Avishai Cohen (Bass)

― The Redd And The Blecch (Ken L), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 20:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Also
Sam Rivers and Sam Jones

(apparently there is also a Sam Rivers in miccio's favorite band)

― The Redd And The Blecch (Ken L), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I confuse lots of things (mainly people). Por ejemplo:

Ed Begley Jr. / Gary Busey

Kiefer Sutherland / Kenneth Branagh

Chris Tucker & Chris Rock

Oooh, that reminds me: Chris Rock/Kid Rock/Kid out of Kid 'n Play.

Oh, and Rumsfeld/Cheney

― === temporary username === (Mark C), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, the two Rips have been a source of confusion for me as well.

So the '90s obv made Selleck stand out a bit more, thankfully....

What about Reynolds's much-heralded "comeback" circa Boogie Nights?

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Sheldon Leonard/Sidney Sheldon

― The Redd And The Blecch (Ken L), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay LOL at confusing Chris Rock and Chris Tucker.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I always confuse Matt Damon and Matt Dillon.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 21:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Because they're both WHITE GUYS NAMED MATT! IT CONFUSES ME!

All white guys named Matt look alike.

I used to think Fred Savage was the Boy Meets World kid for like 2 years once upon a time.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Also in the late 90s I couldn't remember which British actress named Kate was which: Winslet, Blanchett, Beckinsale. Then I saw them in movies and that changed REALLY quickly.

Which do you beat off over?

It says a lot about a man, I think.

Isn't that because the Boy Meets World kid was his brother?

― emil.y (emil.y), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Yep!

(I'm boggling at Mark, that's fucking hardcore.)

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I love how FB worked in that Ruby Red photo right before Mark's wanking post. It made my day.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

If ever any of them at all, it was probably Winslet.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Isn't that because the Boy Meets World kid was his brother?

hahahahaha wow! That's kind of cool.

― blotter Budweiser Hackeysadk (nickalicious), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I like that Mark's post is sandwiched between Chris Tucker and Fred Savage. That's hardcore!

― M. White (Miguelito), Wednesday, 24 January 2007 22:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I always thought Jerry O'Connell was the Boy Who Could Fly but apparently it was Jay Underwood.

Pleasant Plains & Forest Pines.

― chap (chap), Thursday, 25 January 2007 00:32 (seventeen years ago) link

Blanchett spells her name wrong, setting herself apart from all the other British Kates.

― Beth Parker (Beth Parker), Thursday, 25 January 2007 01:00 (seventeen years ago) link

She's Australian, besides.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 25 January 2007 01:04 (seventeen years ago) link

all the hollywood actors called ben.

What about Reynolds's much-heralded "comeback" circa Boogie Nights?

That was just the one film, and it wasn't even something I paid much attention to. I still haven't gotten around to seeing that movie. This may sound dysfunctional but I'm not really interested in anything porn-related, because the thought of it bores me. Anyway.

― Phoenix Dancing (krushsister), Thursday, 25 January 2007 02:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, I confuse Chris Rock and Chris Tucker because they're both called Chris, they're both comedians, they both broke through in the movies around the same, and I'm not too familiar with their acts to know what differentiates them. There's no hidden racism there, I confuse white people with similar names and backgrounds too, like the aforementioned Bills Pullman and Paxton.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 25 January 2007 07:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Admittedly, I wouldn't confuse Chris Rock or Chris Tucker with a white comedian, but unfortunately skin colour is one of those traits we tend to notice about people.
