Have never knowingly seen either in a movie tbf, just remember when both were peak famous at around the same time

Indeed, when it comes to Jeff Chandler and Jeffrey Hunter, I always have to stop and ask myself which one was Jesus, and that would be Hunter - Chandler was too Jewish and looked like he'd wouldn't merely throw the money lenders out of the temple but give them a good doing in the process.

Probably because I never watched either of them when I was a kid, so they kind of blend into one in my non-memory of them.

I guess I only kind of barely know who Amanda Palmer is so whenever I see her name pop up somewhere I immediately think of Twin Peaks
