Robert de Niro and Al Pacino - I have to think of Scent of a Woman ( Al Pacino) and Meet the Fockers ( Robert de Niro) it's the only way I can picture them.

I saw an interview with Samuel L Jackson in which he said he always gets mistaken for Lawrence Fishbourne. People yell 'Loved you in The Matrix!'.

For me it's Matt Damon and the other one who looks exactly like him.

At least your mix-ups are based on some similar characteristics. Mine are entirely on similar names. My most embarrassing yet was, when going to see Beowulf with a friend, and told Ray Winstone was in it... "What, the guy with the moustache? The famous fertility expert???" Confused Blush

Mark Wahlburg.

Google is never wrong, therefore neither am I.

I googled "Matt Damon looks like" and there you go, mark wahlburg.

I once watched a film at my in-laws. Halfway through, my FIL paused it and asked a question that caused my husband to explode, "They're DIFFERENT PEOPLE! Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon are different actors playing different people!" He looked to me for confirmation but sadly I was just as confused as my FIL and had also thought them to be the same person Blush

That's bad isn't it?! JustSquirted were you thinking of the same? Or someone else?

Mike Leigh and Ken Loach Blush I never remember who's who and who did which film. Quite embarassed about that, actually.

I was once rambling on about 'that dull bloke that you like, Jim Diamond fella' and DH knew I was talking about Neil Young! I'd only known future Mr ElQuinto about three days at that point, 16 years on and it still comes up Grin

I don't ever mix up the same ones as you, OP.
