8. Bill Clinton and Snow Miser

From Christmas special The Year Without a Santa Claus. Snow Miser was voiced by actor/comedian Dick Shawn, so not only does he look like Bill Clinton, but Dick does all the talking.

7. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Rob Schneider

Though strikingly similar in appearance, their acting careers have followed different paths. Dwayne Johnson’s acting debut as The Scorpion King in The Mummy 2 earned him a record $5.5 Million, which in dollars, is 17.3 times as many people bought tickets to Schneider’s movies combined.

6. Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski

Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski look identical, which is likely why I am yet to see any of Leelee’s films. Wait a sec, I’m on IMDB right now, looks like I may have seen one of her movies after all. In 1995 Sobieski was in a TV movie called A Horse for Danny which I think I saw.

In short, it was about a boy named Danny who really wanted a pony and was given one for his birthday. But much to his disappointment (as well as complications with animal trainers on set), the cute pony he hoped for turned out to be Sarah Jessica Parker.

I forget how Leelee fit in there, but it was a must see.

5. Nick Nolte and Gary Busey

Fun Fact: The duo played each others blunt doubles. When Nolte wanted to get stoned during 48 hrs (which, acting alongside Eddie Murphey, was frequently), Gary Busey stepped in, and when Busey wanted to take a heroin break while shooting Lethal Weapon, Nolte stepped in – you never noticed the difference.

4. Tilda Swinton and Conan O’Brien

Fun Fact: Share matching skin tones . Before hosting Late Night, he auditioned for Arnold’s role in Predator but his complexion was making things too easy for Predator and his/her Thermal Vision as seen below.

3. Jennifer Connolly and Daniel Day Lewis

I’ve been trying to figure out why these two look so alike, and the only thing I can narrow it down to is their caterpillar like eyebrows… And their eyes, and their noses, mouth, skin tone, forehead, not so much their chins, but definitely the hair.

2. Jennifer Garner and Keanu Reeves

Gross. Whoa.

1. Yasser Arafat and a Hershey’s Kiss

Does this one really need any explaining?

Interview: Of Himself, Directed By Himself

If you’re not familiar with Gary Busey or if you never had a chance to witness the greatness that was I’m With Busey, you really should watch this interview with the living legend first to begin to understand how the man operates – his operative mode strangely and eternally stuck at defective.

Let this be a briefing on the Busey.

Buseyisms: Gary Busey Has A Hobby

If you’re anything like Gary Busey, it’s probably that you have an extremely difficult time remembering the meanings of difficult words like “now”.

He suggests acronymizing confusing words and phrases to make them less confusing. The video, while helpful is a little redundant – we all know that there is no better way to remember what “Time Out” means than by breaking the phrase down to its etymological roots: To-Insure-Measured-Energy-On-Using-Time.

Thanks Busey. You also gave me some great business advice for when I’m late to work…

Straight Jacket: Protect Your Pituitary

When a guy like Gary Busey (so basically either Gary Busey or Nick Nolte) tells you he’s going to pull your endocrine system out of your body if you do a certain thing and then you go and do that certain thing, I suggest you reassess your ability to discern good ideas from bad.

I for one need my pituitary gland and would hate for Mr. Busey, gentleman that he is, to reach behind my eyeballs and pull it out.

SlurPEEs: From I’m With Busey

If there’s one thing you should have learned from Point Break or from Mr. Joshua in Lethal Weapon, it’s that you cannot fool the Busey.

Try to give him a pee slurpee? Busey sees right through your tricks.

Busey Goes Nuts: Which Is Nothing Too Unusual

You’re probably going to want to watch this a few times. I have nothing more to say than that.

You have now been buseyfied.

I first caught this story on HuffPo and could have really cared more, a lot more, because I didn’t care at all – that is until I took the time to read what they took the time to report and noticed a few minor holes in their story.

Here’s what they said:

MALIBU, Calif. Nick Nolte escaped a fire that caused an estimated $1.5 million damage to his Malibu home on Tuesday, authorities said. The 67-year-old actor scraped his arm and inhaled some smoke but was not hospitalized, Los Angeles County fire Inspector Sam Padilla said.

“He is seeing his private physician” for the injuries, he said.

Here’s what they meant:

MALIBU, Calif. Nick Nolte escaped a high that cost an estimated $1,500 in blow on Tuesday, authorities said. The 67-year-old actor, who is frequently mistaken for similar looking C-list actor Gary Busey, cut a line on a mirror and inhaled some smoke from his two foot water pipe but was not hospitalized, Los Angeles County fire Inspector Sam Padilla said.

“He was seeing double at his private physician” Padilla said…

Huffington Post, you’re notorious for fudging the facts, but next time please don’t blow important breaking stories like this one.
