So just found out Tommy Lee and Tommy Lee Jones are two very different people.
Also neither are Billy Bob Thornton 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm not very good with actors.

It was only when I watched the last series of Strictly and Greg Wise was in it that I realised he was the one in Sense and Sensibility and not Rufus Sewell. Confused

My mother was really sad when Margaret Tyzack died as ‘she was so good in Downton Abbey’. I was desperately trying to remember her having been in it before, via process of elimination, I realised she’d confused her with Penelope Wilton.

@Justleaveitblankthen

I always think Billy Bob Thornton and Tommy Lee are very similar types. I get mixed up in all the Jennifers: Jason-Lee ( there's that Lee again ) Garner, Connelly, Lawrence..and the one Brad Pitt dated before the Jennifer he married 🤔
I hate to add to the confusion, but I think the ‘Jennifer’ you are thinking of who Brad Pitt was with pre-Aniston may actually be Juliette Lewis Grin

Ok this has all really helped and I think I've got it.
Billy Bob and Tommy Lee are similar but I know Billy Bob now as he was in an excellent series I watched call Goliath.
Bill Murray, Chevy Chase and Leslie Neilsen are all one of the same demonstrated by their acting prowess in a wide range of movies (but to be fair all very similar)
Someone threw Al Gore in there, now he is definitely a Politician - although didn't he make a movie about climate change 🤔
All the beautiful and very talented Jennifer's and Jessica's we have agreed can be group together.
Sorted
Now.. I feel I could apply for a role as Casting director.

I agree with all of this Op - they all confuse me a lot!

I have been known to get the actors Micheal and Martin Sheen mixed up. (I know they are not a can of furniture polish though. )
I have been known to mix up Martin Kemp and Martin Compston into some sort of gestalt entity called Martin Kempston.

I always get Timothy Olyphant mixed up with Josh Duhamel.

And yes, all the Chris actors! Particularly Pratt and Pine because their surnames begin with P.

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 23/02/2022 16:48

Well I've just learnt that too then!

I only realised last night that Daniel Stern (Marv in Home Alone) is not the same person as Chris Elliott the guy who plays Roland Schitt in Schitts Creek 🤯
