My instant thought.

I also kinda think Tim Roth is a bit of a shit Gary Oldman.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

The Miz and Michael Biehn, although I'm not sure who is currently the poor man's version.

haha damn this is pretty good.

 

[rtcn63]

For a long time, I thought Benicio del Toro did double duty as a horror director.

 

[Sickboy007]

No lies detected.
I think a comic book role could elevate him, though I don't see that happening. Not unless Battfleck casts him.

He's the star of the worldwide top grossing movie right now, I'm think he's doing just fine.

 

[Violence Jack]

Kevin Costner has turned into a poor man's version of Liam Neeson. I couldn't have said that 25 years ago.

 

[youbastards]

The only thing Will Arnett has over Patrick Wilson is his voice.

 

[Spasm]

Peter Facinelli is a poor man's Tom Cruise. Remember that shitty motorcycle show on Fox, Fastlane? Took me a while to realize that wasn't Tom, or maybe Tom's younger brother. Sorry, on mobile, no pics.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I always thought Chris Tucker seemed like a poor man's Eddie Murphy. This was especially evident in Rush Hour where he was this hyperactive, wisecracking talkative off-brand Axel Foley.

 

[demon]

Lolwut. Benecio is way, WAY better than Banderas. From Snatch, Usual Suspects to Sicario. Banderas is a shlock, low rent actor.

 

[PSqueak]

Came to post this, it's funny in hindsight how Jesse Eisenberg used to be discount Micheal Cera and now he's his own thing.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

Agreed. He's hotter than Banderas as well.

 

[Sephzilla]

The Miz and Michael Biehn, although I'm not sure who is currently the poor man's version.

I really wish Biehn's career didn't seemingly vanish in the 90s.

 

[karasu]

Margot Robbie is a poor mans Jamie Pressley. Or vice versa. Whatever. Theyre twins!

 

[gdt]

Benicio Del Toro is who you go to after Antonio Banderas turns you down. Even the recent Heineken commercials make fun of this a little.

Lol wut


Benicio is by far a bigger name. Who is looking for Antonio Banderas these days?

Ecks vs Sever 2?

 

[Stabby McSter]

Jai Courtney is the poor man's version of Sam Worthington

how can you be more poor than sam worthington tho

the best part of ALL DAY:

You a fake Denzel like the Allstate nigga
If you run into me, better have Allstate with you, uh

 

[Darth Pinche]

Margot Robbie is a poor mans Jamie Pressley. Or vice versa. Whatever. Theyre twins!

At this point, Jamie Pressley is definitely the generic to Margot Robbie' name brand.

 

[mooncakes]

Michael Pitt is a poor man's Leo Dicaprio. I still like Pitt in Hannibal and Boardwalk Empire though.

 

[ZOONAMI]

Came to post this, it's funny in hindsight how Jesse Eisenberg used to be discount Micheal Cera and now he's his own thing.

Font like JE at all, although I think he's become the type casted unlikeable guy. MC is the real MC. He's hilarious. They don't really even play the same type of roles anymore.

 

[Zatoth]

Martin Sheen and Joe Estevez

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Can you imagine how fucking brilliant it would be if Michael Cera had been cast as Lex Luthor? Now I feel sad we never got this

 

[eso76]

Benicio Del Toro is who you go to after Antonio Banderas turns you down. Even the recent Heineken commercials make fun of this a little.

I don't think Benicio would be doing commercials for Mulino Bianco biscuits and snacks and talking Rosita the chicken while pretending to be the baker.

 

[Easy_D]

Michael Cera as George Michael as Lex Luthor.

 

[Sephzilla]

Lol wut

I don't think Benicio would be doing commercials for Mulino Bianco biscuits and snacks and talking to chickens.

touche

 

[Shamrock7r]

mark wahlberg is a poor man's matt damon.

Came in to post this

 

[Fury451]

I agree, Matt Damon is a poor man's Jesse Plemons

 

[Strax]

darri ingolfsson is a poor man's version of ryan gosling.

Made me laugh quite a bit during Dexter Season 8.

A Darri Ingólfsson namedrop out of nowhere.
Be still my Icelandic heart.

 

[milanbaros]

I don't think Benicio would be doing commercials for Mulino Bianco biscuits and snacks and talking Rosita the chicken while pretending to be the baker.

Banderas is making serious bank these days from endorsements, brand items and investments. He now makes serious money compared to when he was a movie star. He has found something that pays better than acting in movies and fair play to him.

 

[Finn of Ooo]

I wanna say Sam Rockwell and Ed Norton but I don't know which one is the poor man's version.

 

[Haunted]

Any Baldwin brother that isn't Alec

most brutal takedown in this thread

 

[ikkemenx]

All State commercial dude to Denzel Washington

You a fake Daniel like the All State...

 

[MG310]

For a long time I thought Patrick Wilson was the villain in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

It was Cole Hauser.

 

[Lord Azrael]

OT dan fogler is budget jack black

Yup, that's the one I thought of

 

[TheCowboyPoet]

That one guy from Mallrats was like a cheaper version of that guy from Dazed and Confused, at least in the 90s.

 

[BowieZ]

That made me laugh. I was watching Battleship and I said to my Wife that guy looked like a Down Syndrome Matt Damon.

A rather insensitive remark, perhaps.

 

[Robot Pants]

I like Logan's acting better.

No you don't.
Stop.

Benicio Del Toro is who you go to after Antonio Banderas turns you down. Even the recent Heineken commercials make fun of this a little.

Yoo, fucking MEET ME SOMEWHERE NOW

 

[Tragicomedy]

Every male actor and Daniel Day-Lewis.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

There can be only one.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the superior one tbh.

 

[old manatee]

Jonah Hill and Chris Penn

 

[HStallion]

I always thought Chris Tucker seemed like a poor man's Eddie Murphy. This was especially evident in Rush Hour where he was this hyperactive, wisecracking talkative off-brand Axel Foley.

Chris Tucker was a poor man's Chris Rock for the longest time

 

[Gabriel_Logan]

A rather insensitive remark, perhaps.

Whatever that dude killed a kid in cold blood and trashed his bike.

 

[panama chief]

That made me laugh. I was watching Battleship and I said to my Wife that guy looked like a Down Syndrome Matt Damon.

Shit I busted out laughing at work

 

[joebruin]

Spoiler

Logan Marshall Green(left) and Tom Hardy(right).

Tom Hardy has come a long way from the OC.

 

[Ralemont]

Lol wut


Benicio is by far a bigger name. Who is looking for Antonio Banderas these days?

I'm looking forward to Tarantino making him relevant again a la Kurt Russell.

 

[KHlover]

Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman look like twins, but I haven't seen both in a movie in ages, so I'm not sure they count for this thread. They're both a poor man's version of each other these days, perhaps?

 

[Revolver]

Reg E. Cathey always seemed like the guy you get when Morgan Freeman is too busy to me.

 

[Curufinwe]

Rufus Sewell doubles as the poor man's version of Joaquin Phoenix and Clive Owen.

Give me Rufus over Clive any day of the week.

 

[Curufinwe]

I like to imagine that once a year Karl Urban, Sean Bean, and Liam Neeson get together to decide who takes what role.

They're in pretty different age brackets.

Karl Urban could have been someone on Game of Thrones, but not Ned.

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Lolwut. Benecio is way, WAY better than Banderas. From Traffic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to Sicario. Banderas is a shlock, low rent actor.

FTFY

His Oscar Acosta is one of the goat physical comedy performances. Seriously underrated.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the superior one tbh.

What has this guy been in to trump Before Night Falls and No Country? That's the dude from Watchmen right?

 

[Curufinwe]

Rhona Mitra is the poor man's version of Kate Beckinsale.

 

[Shanlei91]

Aaron Ashmore is the poor man's Shawn Ashmore.
