The Poor Man's Actors #2

It took me a while to think of a new list of poor man's actors, for which I apologize. However, I think the list is very solid, and although none of the actors are really as glamorous as the first set, they are still equally as amusing. So enjoy this set of poor man's actors and let me know if you have any other entries for the list.

Rufus Sewell: The Poor Man's Clive Owen

The both have dark, curly hair. They both have chiseled jaws and masculant bone structures. So what seperates Rufus Sewell from Clive Owen? You actually know who Clive Owen is. Rufus Sewell is probably best known for playing the dick knight in A Knights Tale, and more recently the televesion show The Eleventh Hour, a show doomed to last only one season. While they may look similar in many ways, Clive Owen simply has a charisma and machismo that Sewell frankly can't keep up with.

(Two tall, dark, and handsome men.)

Albert Finney: The Poor Man's Brian Cox

Sure he hit it big with Erin Brokovich, but Albert Finney sure hasn't been doing much since then. He has had a couple of smaller roles, including Dr. Albert Hirsch (What's the matter? Need to play a person with your own name?) in the Bourne Ultimatum (I actually did think that it was Brian Cox in the movie.) However, he sure is no Brian Cox. Playing characters ranging from Striker in X-Men 2 to winning an Emmy for his role in the min-series Nuremberg, Cox is a grade A actor.. They both may be old men, but Albert Finney is a little to cuddily of an old man to keep up with Brian Cox.

(These pictures don't do their resemplance much justice. Sorry.)

Jon Gries: The Poor Man's Gary Cole

Everyone loves the lovable Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. But where has Jon Gries been since then? No where good, that's where (accept if you have seen The Sasquatch Gang. Quite amusing). Gary Cole on the other hand has been hitting it big. From Entourage to Talladega Nights to Pineapple Express, Cole's star has been nothing but rising. They may look a like, but believe you me, they sure as heck don't act a like (I'm not entirely sure what that is supposed to mean).

(I bet you can't even tell which is which.)
