Actors/Actresses Who Where Separated at Birth.

Humans... there's an awful lot of us these days. And despite us each being unique snowflakes (which ironically cancels out the unique part) there's still many a facial features that some of us share. There's family members who'll share a naturally strong resemblance (the creepy spawn from Alec Baldwin's skin flakes for example), but there's also complete strangers who can yet look like one was modelled after the other.  
Actors are no different, either, of course and so just thought it fun to think up some of the actors/actresses who look like they share the same plastic surgeon. 
 
The ones that have always come to mind with me are:
  

  Both Nick Nolte and Kris Kristofferson have a habit of always looking like shaggy bums who make their diet out of year old beans; the ruff hair, the gruff voice and both more often than not playing rather shady sacks of sleeze, whenever I see one I can't help but then be reminded of the other. 
 
 
 

 
 
 
  
 

  I first only heard of Michael Fassbender during his memorable role in Tarantino's 2009 awesomeness incarnate Inglourious Basterds. As did most people I'm sure, with him not striking much in the way of a mainstream presence before hand. When I first saw this scene I honestly thought that was Ewan McGregor. His voice sounded reminiscent of a young Ob-Wan-ish and as far as he looks he could very well pass for a clone of the Scottish treasure himself. Too bad he wasn't as well known during the filming of The Island.
 
 
 Come to think of it... Michael Fassbender also resembles a potentially young Steve Martin, without the grey hair. (if there was such a time).
Could totally create some sort of crazed fan fiction where Archie Hicox survived the battle in the Parisian cellar, and then went on to become a bumbling Detective, complete with corny accent, after the war.      
 

 
 
 

Despite both looking like they're sisters, Natalie Portman still completely crushes Keira Knightley within the attractiveness scale, with Keira resembling the sister who'd ''do anything'' just as long as she can join her much more popular sister to the parties. Plus has Knightley had a song named after her by trippy, dream pop group Team Sleep? I think not! In any case.. they may  not be as familiar as Michael and Ewan before them, but there's undoubtedly some similarities. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Update:
  

I'm surprised I forgot this one, since it's one of the few that really stuck out to me when I discovered Brian Bloom appearance (who is primarily a voice actor). Ray Liotta; the man behind the beloved Vercetti, Henry Hill and overall a professional when it comes to playing scumbags. Then there's Brian Bloom. Upcoming voice actor who's been in a lot more games than anyone would guess. Though mostly known as Kane from the Kane and Lynch series. They both have those disturbing, dark eyes and that chilling grin.. These two side by side could make Freddy and Jason forced to get a day job.

Is this a poorly disguised forum bump? 
 
No, it's not! I'm on point because I always seem to confuse Jeff Bridges & Kurt Russell all the time. They're both awesome but back in the day, they looked way too much alike which made things hard for me since I thought Kurt Russell was Snake & The Dude. That's not true.

This is almost a necro-post even, with how long it's been completely absent ;P 
 
And I know what you mean with Kurt Bridges and Jeff Russell. Someone posted a funny pic on the GB one, in fact, about those two.

I always thought there was a certain resemblance between Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal (before they appeared as brothers in...eh, Brothers
 
      
      

 Also, I used to think Odette Yustman and Megan Fox looked incredibly alike, but I'm not really seeing it so much anymore... Now I'm thinking maybe it was just in The Unborn that they appeared alike.
