TV Actors who resemble Real People

    Ever watched a show and thought that some actor on it bore an unnerving resemblance to a real-life (non actor) individual? Obviously I'm not including bios based on real people and I'm not including actors who like a relative.

    This was prompted by an episode of 'Homicide: Life on the Street' with this person as a lawyer:

    Anyone else guess who I thought of when seeing it?

    Wow, great spot. :D

    I've always felt Sylar from Heroes shares an uncanny resemblance to Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas:

    This Dude Charlie from the BB house looks remarkably like a young Paul Newman

    Don't most people resemble real people and is Brian Cowen a real person. There is a guy that gets the same bus as me (I think I went to school with him) that looks more like the actor above than Brian Cowen. The only resemblance that they have is that they are all fat.

    Is this the scene when he finds out he has no money?

    This guy off Nip/Tuck will probably end up playing Michael Jackson is the film about his life

    Surely Jim Henson's Muppets could work on the MJ movie!

    Also real people MJ is a bit off the topic.
