Skeet Ulrich - Johnny Depp?

Reese Witherspoon is poor man's Alice Eve

Surely it's Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman and you could add Millie from Stanger Things.

Lol what? Hopkins and Hauer probably both do the same amount of trash equally, and Hopkins was never really a stranger to trash even when he was really popular.

They both really had thst one amazing movie (blade runner, silence of the lambs) that got them any job they wanted for a paycheck, and they both rode that train for all it was worth. I'd say their career path is pretty equal all things considered.

However Hopkins never wound up in straight to video trash like Hauer did in the 90's and 2000's, save for the occasional film that also featured a big cast, and he was also nominated for four Oscars in general, as well as giving some acclaim performances (Remains of The Day, Amistad etc...), outside of SOTL.

Their careers are only similar on a superficial level, otherwise their not that alike.

Michael Jai White is a poor man's Wesley Snipes.

Even if I like him more.

 

[Fei]

This gets me every time.

Bloom might be the poor man's Evans at this point, though.

I always thought Luke Evans was similar to James McAvoy.

Richard E Grant and Rupert Everett

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

Savage.

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

I thought it was Cera until I read this thread.

Desiigner is the poor man's Sheen.

Liam McIntyre was a poor mans Andy Whitfield

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

I know this is from forever ago, but the idea that Benecio Del Toro is above some cash grab ads is ridiculous. Y'all ever seen this Magnum Gold commercial?

Saw it in theaters in Thailand a couple years back. I guess it was directed by Bryan Singer?

Nikki Blonsky is the homeless man's

Rebel Wilson

They don't really look alike, but it seems like casting directors get Josh Gad when they can't get Jonah Hill.

This gets me every time.

I seriously thought Bloom was playing two characters in the Hobbit movies...

I've only seen Jesse Plemons in Breaking Bad. He was good, in fact frighteningly so. Does he normally play Matt Damon-like characters?

 

[Evil John Locke]

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

This is hilariously true. It's like the dollar store brand of a grocery store brand.

 

[habithipster]

Then who is the poor man's Jai Courtney, I need to go deeper.

No, and he was great in Fargo as well.

 

[shattyboombatty]

They both look like hobbits

Ya'll know "poor man's version" doesn't mean "looks like" right?

This cat:

Is the poor version of Emma Stone:

Desiigner is the poor man's Sheen.

I always thought Bill Paxton was a poor man's Harrison Ford.

I always thought Dennis Quaid seemed like a budget Harrison Ford.
