I'll tell you what, though. It's starting to unnerve me, how much alike a lot of the people working in movies and TV and whatnot these days look. Granted, among the ingenues/Beautiful People, a lot more similarity can be expected than among the character actors.
But listen, I spent a lot of the time I was watching the HBO Elizabeth I thinking "So basically, this Hugh Dancy is ... the thinking woman's Orlando Bloom, then." (And then I looked at his filmography and thought, well -- no, even so, that's about right.) And early this TV season, when I was watching Jericho, I had to keep on reminding the screen that Skeet Ulrich really isn't Johnny Depp, not even Johnny Depp circa 1997, sorry, pal. Mark Wahlberg looks quite a lot like Tim Daly, especially when he's clean-shaven. And I've just got through the complete A&E series of Horatio Hornblower -- and a few of you have heard me say that the fellow playing Captain/Commodore/Admiral Sir Edward Pellew, Robert Lindsay, reminds me a great deal of Timothy Dalton, but I admit that's a thing about me rather than about them. But am I completely crazy, or is there an awful lot about Ioan Gruffudd, mainly in the jaw, but the most visible when he smiles so his eyes crinkle up a bit, that looks alarmingly like Heath Ledger?
