This probably doesn't fit in this conference, but then it doesn't fit in "drool" or "babes" either.
Which celebrities (movie stars preferably, to fit in this conference...)do you think looks alike?

I started this topic particularly to address the very similar faces and general appearance of Steve Buscemi and Dave Grohl, but I guess it could work with Alice Cooper and Tim Burton too.

Actually, Dave Letterman looks more like Alfred E. Newman than the madman you mention does.

6. "Am I going to be on 'Cops'?"
5. "Which describes me better right now -- 'haggard' or 'grizzled'?"
4. "How did you get past my impenetrable styrofoam brick?"
3. "Do I get the 25-million-dollar reward?"
2. "How's the war going?"

That's it!!!!!
Also lumped in with the two aforementioned blonde 20-something actresses is Kate Hudson. They're all pretty much interchangeable in my mind.

Aww.... Kate? Interchangeable? Surely not after you see Almost Famous....
hmm... let's see....

Victoria Principal was better looking than Kate Jackson in the '70s; don't know about now. Victoria Principal always gave me the impression of being an empty shell, though.
Which reminds mw: Andy Gibb and George Michael (if you look at archive photos of both)

The only thing I remember Leslie Ann Warren for was her appearance on The Muppet Show when they made a running gag of her name, confusing her with a Muppet act called Lesley & Warren...

Was shopping today and saw the cover of the album Emotion by Barbra Streisand. I immediately resloved to file this one:
Barbra Streisand (on the cover of Emotion) and Glenn Close (as she appeared in Fatal Attraction)

David Hyde Pierce & Matthew Letscher
I saw "Identity" starring John Cusack last night and the beginning has this Niles Crane look-alike as a D.A. I had to look him up at IMDB to make sure it wasn't DHP.

From IMDb's biography of David Doyle:
"Trivia: Sometimes mistaken for the actor Tom Bosley, who played Richie Cunningham's dad, Howard, in the TV series "Happy Days" (1974), because of Doyle's "Bosley" character on Charlie's Angels (1976) (TV), and a slight similarity in facial features, body type, and voice."
No mention of being related; I'll look at Tom Bosley's bio next...

Tom Bosley was born two years and two months before David Doyle. Bosley's from Chicago, Doyle's from Lincoln, Nebraska. They went into a lot of detail about Doyle's lineage and didn't mention Bosley's. So I don't know if they're related...
