This thread isn't all about actors looking entirely different from their previous film appearance.


Agreed. Sort of like folks born, say, 1950 and then watched To Kill a Mockingbird on late night cable in the 1980s and realize, "OMG - Robert Duvall is Boo Radley." Looks exactly like Duvall, but he was a virtual unknown then and had so few minutes of screen time (but was this massive unseen presence in the novel and the film) that it is shocking when you go back and see it after a delay.

With my post you can obviously tell it's the same actor looking at the photos side by side, but the point was they're such completely opposite characters played so differently, and Jason Isaacs isn't some big actor that people recognize and know by name, so being on his wikipedia page and realizing it's the same guy was a WTF moment.

Oliva Coleman won an oscar for best actress as Queen Anne in The Favourite... yet her stellar performance as police constable and village bicycle Doris in Hot Fuzz went unrewarded.



Unfair world.
