Actors who actually looked like family

Frances Fisher (Ruth Bukatet) and Suzy Amis (Lizzy Calvert) in Titanic. They credibly played grandmother and granddaughter.

Julia Roberts and Kyra Sedgwick as sisters in Something To Talk About.

Téa Leoni and Zoey Deutch NEED to play mother/daughter, or the same character at different ages, as they are dead ringers for one another.

Oh, and Emily Blunt and Sarah Paulson could play sisters.

Elizabeth Moss and the women who played her mother and sister on Mad Men.

R4 You are so right!

I am too lazy to look up the actors’ names but in the show Rain on Netflix, the two boys who played Rasmus (as a young boy and as a teen) looked like family.

Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall Green should play brothers. Josh Dallas could play their cousin.

Jack Dylan Grazer and Timothee Chalamet in Beautiful Boy

David Hyde Pierce and Kelsey Grammer

The kids in “Little Fires Everywhere” looked like they could be siblings and offspring of Reese and Joshua Jackson.

[quote]-- There was kind of a resemblance between Rue McClanahan and Sheree North when they were younger, but it faded with age.

They both had a kind of Appalachian look, which suited the characters, Blanche especially.

R10 Yes, they were very well cast.

Jean Stapleton and Maureen Stapleton

They really did look enough like to be grandmother and granddaughter.

R14 I loved their scenes together.

R15 they were great together.

Grammer and Pierce in "Frasier" own this thread! They even lost hair the same way!

Apparently some casting director had noticed ylthe resemblance years before, and made a note that if Grammer ever needed someone to play a younger brother...

Young Michael Fishman looked like he could be Roseanne's son.

Jerry Orbach and Martin Landau in [italic]Crimes and Misdemeanors[/italic]

Let's try this again

Desi Arnaz and the kid who played Little Ricky Ricardo on I LOVE LUCY.

Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence playing sisters on the Carol Burnett Show and mother and daughter on Mama's Family.

Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffman and Matthew Broderick as grandfather, father and son. They totally look like they all come from the same family, right? Right?!?

Julie Kavner and Valerie Harper as Brenda and Rhoda Morgenstern in Rhoda.

Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel as mother and daughter in The Gilmore Girls.

If January Jones and Jon Hamm had a daughter, chances are she’d look like Kiernan Shipka.

AbFab -Jennifer Saunders and Julia Sawalha really did look like they could've been biological mother and daughter.

The Fisher family on Six Feet Under.

Peter Mullan should play Matt Czuchry’s dad in something.

The two girls in The Patty Duke Show looked a lot alike. Those home-makeover clones heavily resemble each other like gay lovers sometimes do.

Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Julian Morris played the same character at different ages. The two of them could play brothers, and Jake Gyllenhaal could play their third brother. Topher Grace could play the eldest brother. I would SO watch that.

Fes Parker and Bea Arthur could be twins.

Jeez, r23, I hadn't realized that was a Sidney Lumet film. He was a prodigious director. I wonder if his need to work on a project kept him from taking the time to get things "just right?" Those are good actors, but why would anyone cast Sean Connery and Dustin Hoffman as father and son? And, for that matter, what was Lumet thinking with [italic]Find Me Guilty[/italic]. The great movies he made more than outweigh the "off" decisions, I just wonder what happened.

Bl jbk

Lisa Pelikan playing Vanessa Redgrave's character "Julia" as a teen. Uncanny resemblance, almost as strong as Joely Richardson playing the younger version of Redgrave's character in "Wetherby", but they actually are daughter/mother.

Luke Evans and Orlando Bloom look like brothers.

Jessica Lange, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer Jason Leigh in "A Thousand Acres."

Back into the golden age of Hollywood: Mary Astor and Lucille Bremer as mother and daughter in "Meet Me in St. Louis". There is a scene where they are talking in the kitchen in profile and they have almost the same profile.

Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Bennett in those "Father of the Bride" / "Father's Little Dividend" movies.

Old movie - Spencer Tracy and Frank Albertson played brothers in Fury (1936). Albertson (L) resembled Tracy. Later played Sam Wainwright in It's A Wonderful Life.

Melissa Ponzio and Tyler Posey as mother and son on Teen Wolf, though sometimes his hot mom looked more like his sister.

Skeet Ulrich and Cole Sprouse as father and son in Riverdale.

R31 Were Cohen and Morris in something other than "Man in an Orange Shirt"? Because in that project, they weren't the same character at different ages; instead they were grandfather and grandson depicted in different time periods.

Gary Lucy and Aedan Duckworth, playing father and son, Luke and Ollie Morgan, on "Hollyoaks".

Thank you, r42. I knew I'd gotten it wrong as soon as I hit "Post." I was talking about Man in an Orange Shirt, but couldn't find it again.

I always thought that Leonardo DiCaprio looked like a blonde, blue-eyed version of Johnny Depp. So Leo being cast as Johnny's brother in What's Eating Gilbert Grape made sense. Ironically though, the physical similarities were camouflaged by Leo's acting in that film (and the mouthguard he was wearing, probably in an attempt to change both his appearance and articulation).

R35 Mayim Bialik as the young C.C. Bloomin in Beaches, she totally looked like a young Bette Midler.

Tony Danza and Alyssa Milano in Who's The Boos

Lea Michele and Adele Dazeem, who played Lea's mother on Glee. Uncanny resemblance.

I'm currently catching up on "Succession," and Sarah Snook really looks like she could be Brian Cox's daughter. None of the other Roy children look anything like him. Or her. At all.

Carol and Vicki

The head master and his son on Sex Education on Netflix. Also I think Tea Leoni and Dustin Milligan look like young mother/son
