Circa 1977, Richard Dreyfuss and Bob Balaban (with beards!)
Bear with me here—back in 1977 at the beginning of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, when Laughlin (the Translator/Cartographer) comes forward through the Mexican dust storm, I thought it was Richard Dreyfuss. Beginning of the movie, star of the film, looking like he did in Jaws, made sense, right? For a time, I thought he was doing a double role, like Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove. By the time we get to Devils Tower, I realized it wasn't so. Oh, well, I was 12!
Yup! When I went to CE3K as a kid in Dec. 1977, the only role I knew Dreyfuss for was Jaws which I wouldn't see until '79. Young guy with a beard. Who do I first see in the first scene of CE3K? Truffaut and a young guy with a beard. As the movie continued, I started to wonder why the Roy character was getting so much screen time! Roy is clean-shaven. That couldn't be Dreyfuss! The end credits cleared up the mystery and soon after discovered that with movies like The Goodbye Girl and American Graffiti, the clean-shaven Richard Dreyfuss was more his normal look at that time.

I didn't even know they had an actor mix. Is it instant or does it need to be baked in the oven?
It might explain why some of 'em seem half-baked.
LOL!
My original title for this thread was, "Do anyone of you here in the Film Score Monthly Non-Film Score Discussion page ever confuse one actor with another one?," but I thought I had better trim it down some.

Not necessarily. Sometimes it's not their looks, but their names or other reasons.

Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney--it's like they're different versions of the same person...
Dermot Mulroney is the one who was in "Coming Up Daisy," right?

I guess this could go in the "separated at birth" thread (and probably has already), but having just seen Nocturnal Animals for the first time: Amy Adams and Isla Fisher - although here the resemblance was deliberate.
Michael Shannon and Michael Sheen are both in this movie too. But oddly I always know which one is who whenever I come across their similar names in print.
