Don’t you just hate it when someone comes up to you and tells you that you look EXACTLY like someone they know? Then they pull the picture out of their wallet and…well…the other person is rather unfortunate looking. It’s probably happened to all of us at one time or another, even celebrities. Liam Neeson, most recently seen as the butt-kicking dad in Taken 2, is often mistaken for Ralph Fiennes, famous for playing Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series (among many other roles.) Neeson says he is used to it and often doesn’t bother to correct Fiennes’ admirers when they ask for his autograph.
He’s even signed “Ralph Fiennes” before so as not to burst the excited fan’s bubble! Given that they could pass as brothers, it’s a safe bet that neither actor minds (too much, anyway) when they are mistaken for the other. However, it’s probably not a good idea to tell Liam Neeson that he looks like bald, gray, nose-less Lord Voldemort. Now that wouldn’t be much of a compliment
