      In fact, the only ones who I think look similar are Laurence Fishburne and Samuel Jackson.
      There is a reason why Samuel Jackson is regularly mistaken for Laurence Fishburne in particular.
      If you look up both their names on Google Images then they look almost like twins on some image comparisons.

      Yeah, but 20 years ago they were both slim tall black men with afros, and since they both kinda play the stereotypical badass black guys in movies some people could mistaken them from afar, if they didn't pay due attention to their faces.
      Back when they were younger they kinda looked more alike, nowadays both have aged and look totally different. But some guys like Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan or Will Ferrell and Chad Smith could actually pass as twins, and it's not a racist thing to say I believe.

      Every human being is said to have about 6-7 lookalikes around the world - black people are no exception to this, so there will obviously be people who resemble Samuel Jackson.
      And considering how often Samuel Jackson and Laurence Fishburne are compared to each other - and that Samuel Jackson _actually sometimes wears a shirt that says _*_"I'm not Laurence Fishburne"!_* - it is completely justified to say that they *do* look similar - otherwise nobody would ever *say* that those specific guys look similar to each other.

    I have always compared Al Pacino with Robert De Niro. Samuel L Jackson can and always will be compared to Laurence Fishburn because they are both on the same level of acting, they are both really great & talented actors. All 4 of them are.

    • @MrBilld75
      @MrBilld75 4 роки тому

      I don't find Pacino looks anything like Deniro (but yes, they do play a lot of similar roles, so could see that kind of comparison). However, if you want to really confuse Deniro with someone very easily on looks, Harvey Keitel, is the man. Now those two DO look a lot alike.

    • @calvinnickel9995
      @calvinnickel9995 4 роки тому

      Both the movie Heat and Godfather Part II which had both Pacino and DeNiro in them had me really confused. Andy Garcia sure looks the part as well.

    I think it's awesome that Laurence Fishburne sits here and can see the innocence of it... That's exactly what I first thought of when I heard Sam Jackson and Laurence Fishburne were being mixed up. That it's not much different than Al Pacino and Robert Deniro.. and Dustin Hoffman always get these guys mixed up.

    • @Lemondoor
      @Lemondoor 8 років тому +1

      Maybe you might get them mixed up, BUT a well known entertainment reporter had no business getting those two mixed up. And it happens all the time with Black people. We get mixed up for other Black people that look nothing like us.
      Both Al and Robert are short Italian-American actors. they do from a far off distance look similar. Laurence and Samuel does not.

      Yep it's their mannerisms, demeanor and their seriousness when portraying certain characters or just in general. Yeah they have that been around the block and back in my day vibe about them, well moreso the characters they portray as once said and the seriousness of depth they bring to each role. It be almost like confusing Kevin Costner Bruce willis Liam neeson and Harrison Ford due to the fact they play these over the average yet average characters though very action oriented, but alot of drama and suspense. So if a black guy who's not in tuned with the craft of acting or on top of knowing actors by name or face. "They be like, oh yeah that white guy from such and such movie."

      That's not as valid as you'd think, Dustin Hoffman and Al Pacino vaguely resembled each other when they were younger, where the same type of actor, and did a lot of similar roles. Fishburne and Jackson look alike in no way, are different types of actors, and, generally, play different types.
