Often, when two actors are hired to portray a character at different ages, there's a lot of discussion among viewers as to whether the actors look similar enough.
In some cases, it's hard to believe they'd even be in the same family, let alone be the same character.
In others, though, the resemblance is downright wild.
So, I decided to rank some of these pairs of actors from least to most similar-looking.
All right then, take a look at these and vote on how good you think the casting is:
