Subject: Actors You Get Confused

Written By: Jared on 09/28/04 at 6:22 pm

I'm sorry, but sometimes, I can't tell which of two actors or actresses is on my television or movie screen...am I alone in this?

For example, I have ALWAYS had trouble telling the difference between Vicki Lewis and Kathy Griffin.  I would post pics to demonstrate, but i'm not sure how.

Anyone else have this problem regarding two, or maybe more, actors or actresses?

I can tell. Vicki Lewis's hair is redder than Kathy Griffin's hair and has beady eyes. Kathy's eyes are rounder. Vick is also funnier, but that IMHO. ;D

Not really to do with their looks - but I always confuse the careers of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.

Its freaking me out because this time next week I may be introduced to De Niro and I just know I am going to blurt out "I really loved you in Scent of a woman" or something equally embarrassing.

Just say, "I like what you did in 'Heat' or 'Godfather II'" and you won't have a problem. :)

Are you really going to meet De Niro or are you joking?  If so.... pretty cool!

"If" he shows up - I will be sitting in front of him at the Sydney premier of We Will Rock You (he is the financier of the show).  He promised the cast he would attend the Sydney one as he was too fully booked last year to get down to the Melbourne opening.  His reservations have been made but I guess we wont know until we are strolling the red carpet.

I have a front row seat and him and the lads from Queen etc have second row seats.

He isnt my fave actor by far - in fact I am more nervous about finally meeting Brian May from Queen - but regardless - I dont want to insult him by confusing him with Al - which I have done my whole life !!!!!  :-[  Especially if I get drunk - tho after the large quantities of champers I consumed at the Perth opening I may not touch the stuff ever again. :P

He was obviously trying to replace Jane.  He married Nancy only when she got "in trouble".  No doubt in my mind that when he started slipping he started calling her Jane, no doubt at all.
