Separated at birth...

...or is it all in my head?

I am talking about Ioan Gruffudd (who played William Wilberforce) and Dominic West (from The Wire).

I mean... seriously, can any of you even tell which is which??

I totally thought they were the same person for a moment. ummmm.

They must be manufacturing them in a lab especially for TV...

They have one for the good guy roles and one for the bad guy roles. At least that's the only thing I've seen West in, baddie roles.

Ioan's nose is a little straighter and narrower, same with his brows - no, I haven't made an intensive study of this, why do you ask? >_>

Whoever told Ioan to wear that pullover needs to be smacked.

I am too distracted by the horribleness of Ioan Gruffud's jumper to comment.

The funny thing is, when you posted those vids of ioan gruffudd earlier this week, I thought "blimey that bloke from the wire is everywhere these days"

Did I post vids of him? I can't remember doing that, but we have just bought the Hornblower box set for a bargainous £15 from Tesco. The breeches and frock coats are compensating for the horrible jumper nicely.

The resemblence between the two of them is scary though, I'd never heard of Dominic West before so I googled for pictures. They could be twins!

Doh! Sorry... I am a clumsy fat-fingered fool on my iPhone. I was referring to the vids posted by rocketscientist (below).

What's surprising is that they both get work - looking so alike, I mean, you'd expect one of them to get all the jobs.

Maybe that's why Dominic went to the US for 5 years...

It's like an insurance policy... if one of them had a tragic accident during filming, they can substitute the other one and nobody would be any the wiser.
