I have been hearing that a new Star Trek movie is under way or soon to be commenced. It is evidently set in the 'early' days when Kirk, Spock and company were young.

I think Gary Sinese would be perfect as Dr McCoy. Whenever I see him on film I think he is a younger version of DeForest Kelly.

Does anyone else in A2K land have an actor in mind that reminds them of another actor?

Yes. But I can't think of his name. lol.
An actor that I think used to play a doctor long ago - I just watched him on a CSI Vegas episode, and he reminded me so much of Clint Eastwood.
Same un-altered non-cosmetic-surgery face, same mannerisms and same voice.

gawd, I wish I could remember his name. It's on the tip of my brain.

I need to research this.
Be back later. Confused

edit: got it! Chad Everett

Yes, I think Jessica Alba could be the daughter of Phoebe Cates.

I was convinced she had to be some relative to Cates, but, apparantly not.

Jessica Alba. Jessica Alba. Jessica Alba!! She just doesn't seem remarkable to me.
I honesty wouldn't recognize the girl if she knocked at my door.

My son would.....but I wouldn't. :wink:

Maggie Smith and Zoe Caldwell. They play the same role in different productions on stage, and are sometimes interchanged when a play becomes a film.

Chai, yes it is about look-alikes. But lately it seems not a day goes by without a story about Alba and I was just spouting off.
Please please please forgive me for going off topic for just a second. I am so sorry.


back on topic:
Chad Everett and Clint Eastwood look slightly similar in those old pics, but NOW they really look alike. Plus, they even sound alike!

Hugh Jackman-Clint Eatwood
Owen Wilson-Dennis Hopper
Brad Pitt-Robert Redford

I believe the powers that be in the acting world are consciously trying to replace old with new.

I have heard actors say that a Hollywood career has five stages. For example:

1. Who is Robert Redford?
2. Get me Robert Redford!
3. Get me a Robert Redford type!
4. Get me a young "Robert Redford".
5. Who is Robert Redford?

Ok, correct me if I am wrong, but were these two separated at birth?

Thanks for directing me to that thread, Chai. Not only was it humorous, but I now know where the dreaded peolple hang out.

Absolutely on Pitt/Redford!

I get David Arquette and Luke Wilson confused all the time. But maybe that's just me.
