No WAY is that the Same Actor/Actress

[EvilCaseMcCoy 691]

NSIP, but found this one today.  Original thread cred goes to Parliament.  I know it's one of those, oh wow the guy grew up, but I genuinely thought the kid hadn't been in anything since almost famous so kinda blew my mind. 

Patrick Fugit

Almost Famous

Gone Girl

[Parliament 14388]

My fave. He's Australian, and he manages to pull off a passable North Dakota accent.

[Horn of Gabriel 1865]

[Incredulity 11716]

What is the one on the left from?

[RD3 64]

The OP -> yeah that looks about exactly as I would expect him to look as a grown up.

[RD3 64]

IMHO the winner of this thread (on shag) was Buffalo Bill and the detective from Monk.

[RomaVicta 30119]

People age.

since I guess she re-appeared doing the dancing with the stars thing.... Jennifer Grey.

I know a lot of it is plastic surgery, but I can barely even make out that shes the same person

Yeah, she looks like a different person, and not in a good way. On a positive note, your avatar has a nice rack. Well done.

Jennifer Lien, from Star Trek: Voyager.  In all fairness, I look a lot worse now than I did 20 years ago too.

Once I saw this, it was obvious as shit.  Took me a while though

[Asithappens 974]

Don't want to be a downer, but some of these pictures are pretty similar. 

So yes, I can believe they are the same actors.

[Liquor and Poker 3659]

The all-timer for me from TOS is still the chick from 30 Rock as Randy Quaid's daughter in Vacation.

[South Austin 52745]

Fetcher of Professor Hathaway's drycleaning and candidate for Queen of the Winter Carnival in Real Genius:

Hitman in Michael Clayton:

 

Reportedly he still gets hot and hungry on occasion.

[SuingToGetAMessageBoard? 3861]

This could be filed just under "aging", but I didn't realize this dude was Mr Teenbeat of yesteryear. The Dark Knight on the left.

Good spot.  Really liked him in Nocturnal Animals.

He was a child in GROUNDHOG DAY, though. Him screaming about "Wrestlemania" is jarring compared to the character he'd play on BOARDWALK.

assuming this is serious, this is a really terrible one.

ruffalo was in "you can count on me", "the last castle" and several other movies before collateral where he looked pretty much exactly like he does now (and has always looked).  one time they make him look like a vato cop and he still isn't that hard to pick out (even if you couldn't, the voice is a dead giveaway).

there are two main categories here-

1. holy shit i had no idea that was the same guy (kent from real genius above is a good example of this)

2. a guy who got famous for a bunch of stuff, but as it turns out (every single time) he appeared in movies/tv before he was famous, so it's more of a retroactive "oh i didn't know" situation (like michael shannon above).

eric stonestreet (cam from modern family) was in almost famous.  most people don't know that, because nobody knew who he was then.  he was the overweight hotel clerk who told william that his mother called, "she's a handful".  if you haven't watched that movie in a decade, you probably had no idea he was in it.  but would you say "no way it's the same actor"?  i really hope not - he looks exactly the same. 

[Parliament 14388]

I haven't seen those movies.  I went from Collateral to The Avengers.

I was gonna say you pulled this one because I mentioned it in the groundhog day post

wouldn't have guessed that dude would become a pretty big movie actor.

But you actually posted it before I mentioned it so no joy for me, HOWEVER, upon watching Chain Reaction the other day I noticed he was the fucking flower delivery guy in a way more obscure role than what he had in GD which was actually 3 years after GD man talk about struggling actor.  

I'm guessing Pearl Harbor was the first time I really thought, "where have I seen this guy before?"

Ha! No, I noticed this a long, long time ago. In fact, I think I pointed it out in a similar thread on TOS.

[tucker 238]

Am I doing this right?

 

[Underdog 28879]

Went from Jenner to Rene Russo? 

[Go Pokes 979]

this is more of a "how the hell did I not realize that", but the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel's mom is the same actress who played Alan's ex-sife on Two and a Half Men.  Maybe that's more of a "why would I give a fuck" now that I think about it  

[Guadaloopy 11054]

This is the one I always think of for this topic.  W. Earl Brown   Pretty obvious when seen side by side, but never would have made the connection otherwise

So help me God someone is going to point out Tony Shalhoub as Monk is also the Dad in Mrs. Maisel.

Ms. Jenner has a much better complexion than Rene Russo.

Slimmer jaw as well. The evolution from Ms. Jenner through Ms. Russo, to the final stage.

I've seen Guilty as Sin a handful of times and I never realized until last night that

Ike

and 

Colonel Miles Quaritch

were also this goober

He's one of those actors that gets lost in a film as a secondary player with a decent amount of screen time.  Guy has done a ton of film.
