Am I the only one who thinks sometimes about how some actors resemble one another enough that I would cast them as brothers? (I mean, successful performers have less variation in physical type than the population as a whole, so it's not usually a total reach no matter who is cast as siblings, right? Like pick any three white women, and the odds are pretty good they're slender and narrow-shouldered, and probably have high cheekbones and somewhat pointy chins, and you can dye their hair and put contacts in their eyes, boom, Meg Ryan and Lisa Kudrow and Diane Keaton are sisters, sold.)

Anyway, though, for a long time I've thought that John Barrowman looks not unlike a younger Mark Harmon; and the folks making Frasier wrote the part of Niles because they saw that David Hyde Pierce looks a lot like a younger Kelsey Grammer; and tonight, with vintage Law & Order on the TV, I'm thinking that Chris Noth looks a bit like a younger Peter Gallagher. Anyone else?

Well, because Peter Gallagher and Chris Noth both have the caterpillar eyebrows of doom. And according to IMDB they're only a year apart--brothers for sure! :)

And as someone said just yesterday on my flist: Peter Krause and the guy who played Cromartie on the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

See?
