Inspired by some recent talk of Dennis Quaid being the poor man's Harrison Ford, who are the other Non-Union Mexican Equivalents of Hollywood bigshots?


Rupert Penry Jones is a toofer, being the NUME of both Daniel Craig and Paul Bettany. Laurence Fox would also be a Bettany NUME, if he were an actor.

[Ron Maels Moustache]

Marc Warren is a bit like the Lidl Paul Bettany.

[beanheadmcginty]

Surely he's Malcolm Macdowell?

[Glebe]

Sorry we're all out of Tom Hardy at the moment would Logan Marshall-Green suffice?

[Mr Trumpet]

Can't afford Jason Statham for your straight-to-DVD actioner? Luke Goss is your man:

[Glebe]

^Like a bald (and possible phimotic) Tom Cruise.

Matt Damon's people not returning your calls? There's always Jesse Plemons.



How do you like them Granny Smiths?

Once upon a time you were annoyed with your Dad when you asked him to go to the shops and get you Kevin Spacey and he came back with Brennan Brown from the Orange Wednesday adverts saying "Apparently this one's exactly the same but a bit cheaper." Not any more, though, eh?

I like to think of this gentleman not as the poor man's Martin Sheen, but rather the thinking man's Martin Sheen:

Burn Gorman looks like a Hollywood character actor without really looking like any specific one.



If the budget's tight but filming must go on, why not feel the Burn?!

[Famous Mortimer]

Someone's had the same thought as me, cos it's a handy side by side image off of Reddit. When you want Joshua Jackson, but he is for some reason unavailable, get yourself some Robin Dunne:



(I think Dunne actually replaced Jackson in straight-to-video sequels to "The Skulls" and..."Cruel Intentions"? Was Jackson in that?)

[zomgmouse]

*squinting eyes* is that... is that Brad Pitt?


ah no it's Karl Urban

[Famous Mortimer]

You want Bruce Willis in 1990? How about, instead, I give you Bruce Willis in 2021?

You want a Baldwin brother? Just how crazy, right wing and religious?

That's Paul Thomas Anderson on the left. It is.

Sensing an oversaturated market for Matt Damons, Jesse Plemons is currently midway through a transmogrification that will allow him to fill the vacuum in the Philip Seymour Hoffman industry.

He looks like your man Dr No.

Sainsbury's Basics Joseph Gordon Levitt

[DJ Bob Hoskins]

is that because it's his brother

It's because he's clearly far better value for money than his sibling. And talk about prolific. His brother should be ashamed at his comparitvely meagre output.

(That list of credits is genuine, much to my surprise. His IMDb filmography is a cracking read).

The Panda Pops equivalent of The Rock / Jason Statham, Dominic Purcell:



(I like him, but he definitely gets those sorts of roles)

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

He's obviously gone on to much greater stardom, but Ryan Reynolds seemed like the Happy Shopper Jason Lee when he first appeared. Hiz whole star persona seemed to be based on Brodie from Mallrats.

[Brundle-Fly]

I love Michael Ironside but he was a bit Shakin' Jack Nicholson in his day.

[Goldentony]

then he had his nemesis Lance Henriksen to contend with
