6. Dylan McDermott and Dermot Mulroney

These two are around the same age and have the same coloring, but they really don’t look alike. The reason they get confused for each other is that their names are kind of similar, in a dyslexic sort of way. Lots of Ds and Ms and Ls in those five syllables. In 2012, Saturday Night Live parodied the common mix-ups between the actors in a game show skit called “Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney.” McDermott wasn’t amused. “Yeah, I’ve only heard it a thousand times,” he told New York Magazine. It must get kind of old after a while.
