separated at birth -- skating version

[Artemis]

As I was watching Personal Velocity this weekend (awesome movie, by the way), I was struck by how much Fairuza Balk looked like Oksana Bauil. (Or at least how much they looked alike in this movie -- in the interview the resemblance was gone.) Which reminded me of some other lookalikes.

So let's play "Separated at Birth," the skating version, where at least one of each pair you name has to be a skater. Note that the space-time continuum doesn't apply here: if you can think of two people who look alike but are years apart in age, that's fine.

So here are my entries:

~ Oksana Bauil and Fairuza Balk
~ Jamie Salé and Jane Kaczmarek
~ Todd Sand and Paul Martini
~ Paul Wylie and Michael J. Fox

This is one that's been killing me recently because they've both been rather high profile this year: Morgan Matthews, who's on her way to a second straight U.S. junior dance title this week, is a dead ringer for the actress Scarlett Johansson, who just got two Golden Globe nominations.

I think Oksana & Fairuza Balk look a lot alike.

Others:

Nancy Kerrigan & Marie Osmond
Steven Cousins & Donny Osmond
Sarah Hughes & Reba McEntire
Brian Boitano & Michael E. Knight (Tad on All My Children)
Nicole Bobek & Susan Olsen (Cindy on the Brady Bunch)

[Little Bit]

You are dead on and thanks for the pictures. It is scarry...do we all have a twin? I hope I'm the pretter one. LOL

[Elsy2]

Every time I see Philip Dulebohn I can't help but think of
Ryan Stiles from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" It's been driving me nuts. Anyone else see the resemblance?

[Artemis]

Watching CSI last night, I thought Jeff Buttle looks a lot like Eric Szmanda (who plays Greg the DNA guy).

[GoldenLady]

Shae-Lynn Bourne and Reese Witherspoon

Barb Underhill and Kerrin-Lee Gartner (1992 Olympic downhill champion and CBC skiing commentator):

BTW, not only do Barb and Kerrin-Lee look alike, they also sound uncannily alike, too--I've often had to do a double take whenever I hear Kerrin-Lee's skiing commentary on CBC! :lol:

Jamie Salé and Moira Kelly (the female lead in The Cutting Edge):

I also noticed a striking resemblance between Jamie and Neve Campbell (who's on the cover of the FHM magazine issue also featuring Jamie's now-infamous photo spread).

Christine Hough and Britney Spears (as much as it pains me to compare one of my all-time favorite skaters with one of my all-time least-favorite pop singers!) I'm assuming everyone here already knows what Britney Spears looks like. :lol:

[ArwenLiz]

Sasha Cohen and Alexis Bledel (Rory from Gilmore Girls)

My mom commented that she thought they looked alike too.

I think there's a resemblance between Kevin Van Der Perren and Justin Timberlake, although not a great one.

[Aussie Willy]

Tim Goebel and Ryan Phillippe

I think you've hit on it...every time I see Philip Dulebohn I think he looks like someone else...and now I know who!

[annkirstin]

I don't know who this is (#31 & 32 on this page (http://www.rest-elegance.com/english/kostum_figur/index_1.phtml)--can someone tell me?) but she looks like Salma Hayek.

[ChristianeDK]

Isn't it Mrs. Zimmerman? ;) (also number 55) You're right, she really does look like Selma Hayek.

[Artemis]

Watching Chantal Lefebvre this weekend reminded me ...

~ Michel Brunet and Tom Cruise

Also:

~ Fedor Andreev and Sebastien Britten
~ Kris Wirtz and Sean Astin
~ Tanith Belbin and Katie Orscher

Oh yeah, Silvia! I knew I'd seen her several times before but just couldn't place her.

[Artemis]

Nicholas Young and Plushy.

[oz01]

Amber Cowin and Robin Wagner

[susan6]

Evgeny Plushenko and Adrian Brody

I always thought the late Laci Peterson looked a lot like Jamie Sale, especially when smiling....kind of gruesome, but the similarity is there....

Amber Corwin and Princess Anne in her younger days.

[castmembersonly]

Sasha and Calista Flockheart in Ally Mcbeal

[Aussie Willy]

I was watching Tanith Belbin and she kind of reminds me of Cameron Diaz - but maybe more in the personality stakes. But they are both quite cute.

Really? I can't see the resemblance. Can you elaborate a bit?

My God, you're right! If you squint,turn your head askew and look directly into the sun she is the spitting image of Scarlett :)

[castmembersonly]

Yeah, I think it's the big brown eyes and the tiny frame. Sasha doesn't do all those silly thing with her face like Mcbeal did, just a basic resemblance.
