4.Jerri Manthey from Survivor 2 and The Borg Queen
5.Woody and Howdy Doody

"The Thaw"
7.Mr.Furley and Barney Fife

Alf & Neelix are played by the same person? That explains a lot!
Ringo Starr and Yassir Arafat.
Bester and Mr. Chekov
Capt. Archer and Dr. Sam Beckett
Capt. Kirk and T.J. Hooker
Sam from Cheers and Becker
Phoebe from Friends and the ditsy waitress from Mad about You.
Hey, just followering along.
Phoebe from Friends and the ditsy waitress from Mad about You.
Doesn't count. It's been officially established on both Friends and Mad About You that Phoebe and Ursula are twin sisters.
Rats!
Uh, sorry about that!
Angel (from "Angel") and Shakin' Stevens
Iain Duncan Smith and Mikhail Gorbachev (minus the scar)
Sven-Goran Eriksson and Mr. Burns from "Th* S*mps*ns"
Goran Ivanisevic and John "This Morning" Leslie

Royal "Separated at Birth" special:
Princess Michael of Kent (crazy name, crazy guy)= Joanne "JK" Rowling
The Countess of Wessex (f.k.a. Sophie Rhys-Jones) = Jill Dando (RIP)
Camilla Parker Bowles and Rod Hull
Kent "Flounder" Dorfman (Animal House) and Vir Cotto (B5)
Muhammad Ali and that guy from "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"
Charles Napure & Newt Gingrich
Kim V. (a girl I used to hang out with) & Kirsten Dunst
I'd say you're lucky, Brian, but I see you used past-tense to describe the Kirsten Dunst "twin."
Mohhamid al fayed and Yoda.
Craig, I thought I was lucky too. Notice some more of that past tense. Go Here to read all about it. BTW I never realized how popular Kirsten Dunst was untill I was trying to stop think about Kim (who looks like her) and here's The Virgen Suicides & Get Over It at the video store, Bring It On everytime I turn on HBO, and ads for Spider Man everywhere I look
Oh, that was you, and that situation was this one... I get it. It's ironic I didn't make the connection, since I originated the question that prompted your response.
You have my understanding, to a point, and my hopes that you won't be too hard on yourself over the "what if" thing. I'd elaborate, but I think this is a topic for another board or for e-mail.
Go back on topic, everyone... I could add myself to the list when compared to a certain famous person, but I'm tired of the comparison, so you're all out of luck!
Jack McConnell (Scottish First Minister) = Michael Barrymore
Ronaldo (Brazilian footballer) = George Formby
Dan Petrescu (Romanian footballer) = David Duchovny
Kevin Spacey = Bob Mortimer
and speaking of Kevin Spacey...
Kim Basinger = Veronica Lake
A friend of mine once saw a picture of George Clooney on the cover of a magazine and asked "What is Dale Winton doing on that magazine cover?"
True story.
It must be me, but most of the people I know in real life closely resemble famous people. For instance, I know of many different people (of my age) who bear a striking resemblance to Peter Mandelson, Sir Cliff Richard, Sting, and Vladimir Putin.
I just re-read my last post and realized my comment "Go back on topic everyone!" sounded like I was giving orders and/or dissing Brian Fitzgerald... I intended neither. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
So... in that case who DO you resemble, Craig? Just out of interest...
Some lookalikes from the Web:
Salacious Crumb from "Return of the Jedi" = ITV Digital MUNNG-KEH
Pierluigi Collina (the world's #1 football ["sarkur"] referee) = The Balok Puppet
David Beckham = South Park's TIMMY!!!!
This one is just far, far too spooky to be true:
James "Babe" Cromwell = George "Animal Farm" Orwell
Leonardo di Caprio = Norman Lamont
Hayden Christensen = Prince William
Yoda (as seen in "Attack of the Clones") = Paul Daniels (famous UK TV presenter, entertainer, and member of the ultra-secret Inner Magic Circle)
Now THAT's magic!
Mike Mazurki and Mickey Shaughnessy. For years I thought they were the same person.
Woody Allen and Millhouse of the Simpsons
According to Pamela Stephenson (the wife of comedian and actor Billy Connolly), apparently Patrick Stewart = Ben Kingsley
Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman. Did they ever appear in a film together?
Ian Thorpe and Jenson Button. In a certain light.
Al Pacino and Dustin Hoffman. Did they ever appear in a film together?
According to the Oracle of Bacon's Star Links, only in a documentary (playing themselves).
Sven, have you been reading Backchat again? ;-)
Backchat? What's that?
No, I saw Le Thorpedo on TV (it's the Commonwealth Games, don't you know?) and couldn't help but notice the resemblance.
For that matter, someone from "Private Eye" once noticed the resemblance between Jenson Button and Tony "El Presidente" Blair.
Having read the latest issue of "Empire" I'm convinced that Steffi Graf's husband has been replaced by actor Colin Farrell.
Brent Spiner and Federico Castellucio (who plays icy cold leg breaker Furio on The Sopranos, and who, in real life, is a really nice guy.)
Dann Florek (Capt. Cragen on Law & Order:SVU) and Mitch Pileggi (Skinner on The X-Files.)
Dick Advocaat (Glasgow Rangers FC's outgoing "Director of Football")= Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby
Apparently the Brazilians used to bury their most famous footballers in massive pyramidal tombs. Here's an image of one of their more famous ones, King Ronaldo.
It's funny 'cos it's true! [Possibly - everyone]
Some more from the same source, this time with a British flavour.
My goodness, Odo, you've turned pink.
Here's one:
David Duchovny and Noah Wyle

Donna Awatere Huata (the disgraced New Zealand politician) = Yoko Ono
People say that i look like Janine Garafolo. Or however you spell her name.
From this fortnight's "Private Eye":
Bashar Al-Assad (Syria's El Presidente) = Tim McInnerny (Blackadder's Darling/Percy)
Sam Torrance = Prof. Robert Winston = Saddam Hussein's Double
George W Bush = Anthony LaPaglia
Tone Loc (nee Tony Smith) and Forest Whitaker.
Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom to star in a swashbuckling seafaring film about the lives of Christina Aguilera and Darius Danesh, ha-haaaaargh!!!
Lucy 'Xena' Lawless & Keavy Lynch of B*witched, both looked like someone I used to work with.

Miramax Films head Harvey Weinstein, and actor/producer Jeff Garlin (Curb Your Enthusiasm.)
Senator and Dem. Presidential candidate John Kerry, and Herman Munster. (Not Fred Gwynne, mind you, but his character.)
Michael Shanks and Johnny Depp (see "Secret Window").
Dean Cain and alleged murderer Scott Peterson. I had recently thought Cain should play Peterson in a movie. Then, I found out, he already had.
Senator and Dem. Presidential candidate John Kerry, and Herman Munster. (Not Fred Gwynne, mind you, but his character.)
Seems somebody disagrees with you on that one, and thinks he looks more like Lurch...

Brent Spiner and Eminem.
Uh, really don't see it.
Aston Kutcher and Wesley Crusher. I guess we all know who got the smarts in that family.
Chris Daugherty, the latest Survivor winner, and porn actor Evan Stone.
Movie directors Robert Wise and Frank Pierson. (When I saw a photo of Mr. Pierson and Adrien Brody announcing the Oscar nominations, I thought that Pierson was Mr. Wise.)
Julia Stiles = Erika Christensen http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p2493.htm
Leelee Sobieski = Helen Hunt http://www.kidzworld.com/site/p2154.htm
Kenneth Branaugh = Ewan McGregor
Julia Roberts & An unknown Extra in Forever Young (1983). Some people have watched this & assumed it was her even though it was a Britsh production & she was still at school at the time.
The late Dana Elcar (MacGyver, 2010) and Don S. Davis (A League Of Their Own, Stargate SG-1.)
Uh, no not really. :-)
They were both on an ep of MacGyver together, IIRC.
Gale Gordon (Actor) & William Lang Jr. (Time / Life Bureau Head)

Howard Stern's girlfriend Beth Ostrosky, and porn actress Nicole Sheridan.
Star Trek's Robert Walker Jr. and The Twilight Zone's Jim Hutton. A friend of mine who is both a Trek and a Zone fan really thought Hutton was Walker and was surprised when I pointed out he wasn't.
I was noticing 3 people who look very much alike.
Jack Valenti, the Hollywood movies guy.
Michael Chertoff, head of US Homeland Security.
Keene Curtis, who was the snooty John Allen Hill on "Cheers."
Unfortunately Nitcentral limits the number of hyperlinks in one post. I can only post one. Oh, well, you can do a search for the other two.
Chertoff and Curtis look more like each other than they look like Valenti.

Chico
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0555597/bio
"Unmade-up and out of costume, the resemblance between Chico and his brother Harpo Marx was extraordinary. On the TV game show "I've Got a Secret" (1952), Chico once appeared in Harpo's wig and costume, with the "secret" "I'm Pretending To Be Harpo Marx (I'm Chico)" and fooled all the panelists - including Groucho Marx."

Actresses Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) and Katy Mixon (American Housewife).

Former New Jersey Governor/Trump butt boy Chris Christie and ESPN host/Car Shield spokesman Chris Berman.

Alas poor Herman. No, he didn't deserve that analogy.
