I am really bad with faces, like pretty exceptionally bad, and I constantly mix up big-name actors with less famous ones that look sort of, vaguely, similar to them.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0333982 this person is not kevin spacey.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0573354 not topher grace.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0570385 DEFINITELY not christopher walken.

sometimes when I see an actor and go 'omg is that...?' I am so far off-base my boyfriend thinks I'm just loving with him. I never am...

I confuse Matt Damon with Brad Pitt (not to look at them but talking about movies they've been in)

I confused Kevin Costner with Michael Keaton when I was a kiddo.

Because of the comedy 'k' sound I'm sure.

The former of course is my latent homosexuality.

It is fair to say though that Christopher Meloni (L&O: SVU, Harold and Kumar) is in fact Elias Koteas (Casey Jones from TMNT)

Have you ever seen them together? Naw

I always forget which is which when talking about movies starring Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton. They looked a little bit similar in their younger days, Pullman's fairly inoffensive, Paxton always comes across as a smug rear end in a top hat even if his character isn't meant to be and I hate him. At least he gets his comeuppance at the hands of all three big '80s sci-fi villains, so he doesn't ruin those movies for me. :v: Apollo 13, on the other hand, could've done better casting-wise.

Also I get the various Baldwins mixed up, but I suppose that's because they're brothers and actually do look alike.

Adam Baldwin is a right wing nutter, Alec is a lefty.

Frank Miller and Arthur Miller and Steve Miller. I think I "knew" all three were different people but I pictured the same generic old man face for all three so I must not have been distinguishing them. Never stopped to ask myself how the guy who wrote The Crucible and the guy who directed Sin City could realistically be the same, but that's why I can't believe i just figured it out

Frank Miller wrote the best and worst Batmans.

He lost his mind after 9/11.

Much like Dennis Miller.

One of the few fun legacies of the Victorians.

They have several really. Probably the best is that venereal disease (usually syphilis) can be cured by having sex with a virginal girl. And that girl could of course be sold over and over again so this actually compounds the problem

Next best is probably the secret flower language.

I guess those both involve flowers
