Let's be honest. Which one is the "poor man's?"

 

[bidguy]

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.

did you sniff on glue or something ?

benicio del toro is the man. cant say i ever disliked a movie he was in

 

[Sephzilla]

Yeah that was a poor decision

 

[Robdraggoo]

Aaron Ashmore is the poor man's Shawn Ashmore.

Wait. There's two different ones?

 

[Kaizer]

Wait. There's two different ones?

Yep, blew my mind when I found out during the years Smallville was on.

 

[Acorn]

Zoey Deschanel; Lizzy Caplan

I love both for different reasons

 

[f0lken]

brad pitt is a poor man's robert redford.

 

[a916]

Came here to post this, what a god awful one ranged actor, Eisenburg mops the floor with Cera.

Let's be honest. Which one is the "poor man's?"

Lol... is that supposed to be a serious question?

 

[Discotheque]

Let's be honest. Which one is the "poor man's?"

I think they're different enough. Cera is way funnier than that dork but we've seen a few solid dramatic performances from eisenberg whereas cera has only been in comedy

 

[neurosisxeno]

Zoey Deschanel; Lizzy Caplan

Lizzy Caplan is absolutely gorgeous...

 

[Koozek]

I like Logan's acting better.

He was dope in The Invitation on Netflix.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

Spoiler

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

There can be only one.

wwhaattt

 

[HappyPuppy]

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is the superior one tbh.

And ten times hotter. He is so fucking hot.

 

[Jay Shadow]

Wait. There's two different ones?

Shawn is from X-men, Quantum Break, and The Following. Aaron is from damn near everything else on TV that you've seen that face in.

And once they were both on an episode of Fringe together.

 

[jackdoe]

Lol, this thread became a celebrity lookalike thread instead of a thread about second or third choice actors.

 

[SilentRacoon]

I haven't decided...

Which one is Marc Antony?

 

[AndyVirus]

 

[bggrthnjsus]

Oh my god I'm seeing double. 8 pictures of Javier Bardem.

perfect

 

[Dali]

Eisenberg was a poor man's Michael Cera, but he's just evolved into his own annoying thing. That and cera seemingly hasn't done much high profile lately.

I felt like Phillip Seymour Hoffman in along came Polly was a low budget jack black. I'm convinced that role was written for black but he couldn't make it.

 

[VeryGooster]

Randy Quaid's son in Independence Day and Keanu Reeves

 

[Speevy]

Javier Bardem was Anton Chigurh. Even if he never made another movie, that alone eclipses the other guy.

 

[msdstc]

Guy Pearce is a poor man's Brad Pitt.

What?! No Pearce can hold his own as an actor. Better chops than Pitt for sure.

mark wahlberg is a poor man's matt damon.

I don't see the comparison here either. The Boston accent sure, but Damon plays a wide variety of roles and the more intellectual type, where Wahlberg almost always plays the tough guy.

Chris Evans is a poor man's Tom Cruise.

Evans is the better actor.

10 years ago maybe, but who cares about Matt Damon anymore?
Jesse Plemons ("Meth Damon") has been doing great work on TV: Breaking Bad, Fargo, Olive Kitteridge. Plus, he looks better, imo.

LOL wut?... wait......

Meh I know The Martian was big for Damon (even though I hated that movie and especially his character) but he's not the star that he once was. I dunno, I never got the whole labeling him as poor man's Matt Damon, probably cause I like him and dislike Damon.

Everything you've said is objectively wrong. Matt Damon is still a huge name and likely always will be.

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.

Honestly they're 2 completely different actors, but if anything you have that absolutely backwards and it's not close.

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

Again 2 actors who have basically nothing in common.

I'm pretty sure Ben Affleck is more expensive than Casey but he shouldn't.

And i'm also sure this will change soon.

Casey is definitely the better actor, ben is the far better director. I don't see it changing, Ben is better looking which always will sell. On top of that Casey had his chance to break out and I think that passed him by.

Lol, this thread became a celebrity lookalike thread instead of a thread about second or third choice actors.

Pretty much.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I mean they were both in Star Wars together.

I never bought the whole "Their own mothers couldn't tell them apart!" when I saw through that shit immediately.

 

[Moaradin]

NO!

Jai Courtney is a piece of shit.
Im embarrassed for him everytime i see him on screen.

I am ashamed anytime im sitting with someone while he is "acting" because i feel in some way responsible for their suffering, when i could easily just break the TV or something and save them from their torment.

Fuck Jai Courtneys lack of ability, fuck his agent for getting him those roles knowing exactly the horror they are unleashing upon the world.

I always get sad when I see so much Jai Courtney hate because he'll always be that guy from Spartacus and I liked him in that

There can be only one.

Goddamn...every time I see it...

 

[Monkey_Plunkett]

How about Jeremy 'we couldn't get Alan Rickman' Irons

 

[HiiiLife]

Let's be honest. Which one is the "poor man's?"

Cera > because Superbad.

 

[usp84]

Lol nobody in the world knows who Jesse Plemons is. I have watched Breaking Bad twice and I had to look him up to recognize what role he played, with all the respect to him. Meanwhile Matt Damon is known worldwide with some huge movies as a protagonist


No even close

 

[Ganzlinger]

I mean they were both in Star Wars together.

Holy shit, Keira Knightley was in Star Wars! This blew my mind, after all these years. lol

 

[kunonabi]

I feel like Adam Scott is the poor man's Joel McHale. It also seemed like those commercials with Alison Brie were written with Joel in mind but they couldn't get him.

 

[kswiston]

I never bought the whole "Their own mothers couldn't tell them apart!" when I saw through that shit immediately.

This lead to a lot of dumb comparisons between the two in the following years, even though as adults they look nothing alike.

 

[Jane Mansfield]

The dark-haired guys in American Horror Story S6. But I can't tell which one of them is a poor man's version of one another.

 

[beelzebozo]

johnny depp
skeet ulrich

 

[DonMigs85]

The various Baldwins

 

[World SkiFree]

johnny depp
skeet ulrich

Very good example.

The various Baldwins

Yes, sometimes siblings are great fodder for this. Natalie and Lana Wood from back in the day, the Culkans, Tom Hanks' brother, John/Jim Belushi, Bill Murray's brothers (excluding Brian Doyle, of course).

I remember thinking Adam Arkin was a poor man's George Clooney due to their shared salt and pepper handsomeness and TV medical drama chops.

 

[injurai]

Wait. There's two different ones?

This is fucking with me for real.

It's crazy how some of these actors look damn near identical

 

[TAJ]

Spoiler

Haley Bennett on the left (Magnificent 7) is a poor man's Jennifer Lawrence

I was going to post her, but I only know her as "that JLaw clone in Hardcore Henry".

how can you be more poor than sam worthington tho

It's a difficult thing to achieve but Jai Courtney somehow managed it.

Lol, this thread became a celebrity lookalike thread instead of a thread about second or third choice actors.

Don't kid yourself. Some of these people are only getting work because producers are hoping that people will see them in ads and think they're someone else.

 

[The Mule]

Oh my god I'm seeing double. 8 pictures of Javier Bardem.

haha, good one

 

[Revolver]

Zoey Deschanel; Lizzy Caplan

I don't see it. Oh well, any excuse to post a pic of both of them.

I used to get Lizzy mixed up with Mary Elizabeth Winstead all the time.

 

[BigDug13]

Hi Skeet, meet Johnny

I think Frank Dillane from Fear the Walking Dead looks like a poor man's young Johnny Depp. He evenseems to display some young Depp-like mannerisms.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

He was also discount Michael Clark Duncan in Sin City 2.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme are poor men's versions of each other.
