I know I just misspelled their names, but I'm too lazy to fix it.

Far stretches (maybe not)-

Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio
Mary Steenburgen

Tom Selleck
Burt Reynolds
(in their heydays I had them confused as a kid)

Hugh Jackman is the poor man's version of Russell Crowe and Russell Crowe is the poor man's version of Mel Gibson.

I do know the difference between Chris Rock and Chris Tucker, though.

How many times to I have to remind people--it's Turd Ferguson, not Burt Reynolds...

(Waiting for the phone call from Tom's lawyers.)

al pacino and sean penn

people have alerted me to the fact that one is about 40 years older than the other or something, but that doesn't invalidate that they both have really dark confusing hair.

I have this problem constantly! No matter how different the people, if the names are similar I'll confuse them:

Mary Stuart Masterson and Mary Louise Parker (ever since Fried Green Tomatoes)

Plus, I get ordinary words mixed up all the time. Yesterday: Calvary and Cavalry.

Anthony Michael Hall, Philip Baker Hall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Michael Thomas, Paul Michael Glaser, Paul Thomas Anderson, Hans Christian Anderson. . .(I could go on and on)

jay blanchard and BabyBhudda (only confusing if they aren't the same person)

― PuzzleMonkey (PuzzleMonkey), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:22 (twenty years ago) link

somehow i saw that coming....and no, we're not the same person--but there are many more like us!

be afraid--be very afraid....

― jay blanchard (jay blanchard), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:37 (twenty years ago) link

LOL!

I do hope, for Jay's sake, that he's not too much like me. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

― BabyBuddha (BabyBuddha), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 19:21 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah, same here!

It may have been weird, but I always used to get Julia Roberts and Geena Davis confused.

― Sean D. (Sean the guy), Thursday, 25 March 2004 20:53 (twenty years ago) link

I used to get Alan Shephard and Sam Shephard mixed up. I blame The Right Stuff.

Listening to a talk on Crime genre yesterday, I was startled to realise there was a Howard Hawks AND a Howard Hughes. Which cheered me up immensely, as now a great director isn't a famous nut.

Frodo and Spiderman -- I really thought they were the same for some time.

Look out! Here's a bad one.

― Robomonkey (patronus), Wednesday, 7 April 2004 14:15 (twenty years ago) link

Back when I was a kid: Carol Burnette and Shirley MacLaine. I think it had to do with the fact they both had short hair.

As recently as a year ago: Bruce Campbell and Bruce Dern. Because of names, I guess.

Not "always" but i've been wondering this week why the internet gives a shit what popular historian Tom Holland thinks about comic book movies
