Sepiatone Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I see Segal and Shatner, but nah, not Plummer. But Darg's shot choice of Plummer makes me think some of MICHAEL CALLAN. But then too, there's some shots of Callan that remind me some of Shatner. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 What a Cumber-match! Budding actor, 12, who is a dead ringer for younger version of Benedict Cumberbatch, will play Sherlock star's son in Cold War thriller The Courier Budding actor Keir Hills, 12, from London is playing Benedict Cumberbatch;s son in the Hollywood star's latest Cold War thriller, The Courier, because he is a doppelganger for the Sherlock star. Keir's twin Lewis, who is also an actor, was originally lined up for role, but their mother Marie O'Grady-Hills had better ideas. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Fausterlitz Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 For some reason Benedict Cumberbatch at 13 reminds me of Mariette Hartley and Amelia Earhart. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I know that Buddy Hackett played Costello in a TV movie of him in the 70's (with Harvey Korman as Abbott) but I think Ron Masak does look more like Lou than Hackett did.

Sepiatone LOL Ya know Sepia, I actually thought about goin' in that direction with those two myself, but went with the "brother" aspect instead. (...however, this DOES kind'a bring up the point that I don't recall ever seein' both of 'em in any movies together, huh) 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but..... Maybe too, they WERE brother and sister, and sometimes(just for kicks) did the "Parent Trap" thing and traded off? For instance... Maybe it was brother ERIC who was actually in LIFEBOAT('44) and Tallulah in CANTERBURY TALE('44)? Sepiatone 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Buddy Hackett also subbed for Lou Costello in Fireman, Save My Child. Originally intended for Abbott and Costello, Hackett and Hugh O'Brien (!) "pinch-hit" for Bud 'n Lou who withdrew from the comedy. Link to post Share on other sites

TikiSoo Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Just watched HOUSE OF HORRORS '46 on Svengoolie and was struck by how much Virginia Gray reminded me of Drew Barrymore. They both have prominent chins, large arching eyebrows & bow mouths with tiny teeth. Prefer Drew's strong Barrymore nose to Virginia's dainty one. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Sepiatone Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 20 hours ago, filmnoirguy said: Maybe Bankhead was Portman in drag? Remember.... I suggested the reverse possibility. So, if a woman dresses and disguises herself as a man, is it still called "Drag"? I don't recall anyone being famous as a "Male Impersonator". Although in life I've met many supposed men I thought were. Sepiatone Link to post Share on other sites
