There can be only one.
It's like someone loaded up a character creator and just adjusted some sliders based on a basic preset.
I'm gonna say the guy on the bottom right is the original. Going clockwise the adjustments to beard stubble, eye squint, hair curl, and skin tone are made.

This is a very good shout, in the UK we have a magazine called Viz, and for a long time they called Michael Ironside "the guy from Robocop that looks like Jack Nicholson but is loads cheaper"

Ryan Reynolds is a poor man's James Van Der Beek
This has got to be a joke. Two guys, a Girl, and a Pizza place > Dawson's Creek.

Oh god, it's been a long time since I've ever felt horrible for laughing at something. Thanks for breaking my streak.
This reminds me of how surreal it was when Samberg, Cera, and Eisenberg all became famous at the same time. Samberg is great though; his acting style and presence are totally distinct from the other two.
Jonah Hill used to be the poor man's Seth Rogen (hell, he wrote Superbad for himself at first, but they went with Hill because Rogen was too old by the time it was made), but now it's looking like the other way around.
Voice acting example: Matthew Mercer for Troy Baker. They sound kinda similar on a surface level, but Troy's voice has a certain texture that makes him superior to listen to, and his acting range comes off more pronounced and less monotone to me.

Haha, man, I remember watching the Hobbit and when Bard showed up I was like "wait, that's not Legolas... Orlando Bloom plays another role??". And my friend who was with me thought exactly the same thing. xD Took me several minutes to realize it wasn't Bloom, lol.
I haven't decided...
I really should have noticed earlier though, Evans is wayyyy better looking.
What, seriously? They look almost identical, guys. I never noticed Knightley was even in the movie until much later and it blew my mind.

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.
So much this!My first thought when I saw him is that he has a J Depp thing going on.

Which is probably why they got him to play Hans' brother in Die Hard: With a Vengeance.

Years ago, they tried to position Christian Slater as a poor man's Nicholson. Not so much because of looks but because of acting style and mannerisms. Watch Heathers and you'll understand.

Not the greatest picture to compare with but I feel like you could do another season of Weeds with Anna Silk instead of Mary-Louise Parker and a lot of people wouldn't notice.

Should it be the other way around? What's Nick been up to?

We have devolved from "Get me So-and-so!" "We can't afford them." "Than get me Such-and-such!", but I always confuse Isla Fisher and Amy Adams.

Colm Meaneay - Albert Brooks, not sure which one
But she doesn't, not even a little bit. I think Daisy Ridley would fit into that list more. And Katie McGrath.
Rooney Mara falls more into the Katy Perry, Emily Blunt category. Round eyes and not overly-prominent cheekbones. Ultimately, it's not even that serious, but I personally don't see the resemblance between Mara, Knightly and Portman.
Nick Cannon is the poor man's Dave Chappelle
Morgan has a pretty amazing voice. If I was into men, that'd be the voice to get my knickers in a bunch. I haven't seen the latest season of Walking Dead, but when I heard he was cast as Neegan, I was like, "Holy fuck, that is brilliant!" What an excellent choice.
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
I did really like him in Spartacus, but I can't stand him in anything else he's been in. I've heard he's actually good as Captain Boomerang. Maybe he just hasn't been landing roles that cater to his strengths?

He once said that pissing off Fincher by not allowing him to use his likeness in Alien 3 was a very bad choice.

Porn actress Alexis Love
looks like Sofia Coppola when she was younger
As far as acting skills go, Coppola is the poor man's version in this case.

Having just seen Nocturnal Animals, this made me chuckle.
