While a lot of movies are works of fiction there’s a hefty amount of films being made based on real events and about real people. Sometimes the movie is more about what happened and what event occurred and the characters are made up. But when a movie is meant to tell a story of a real life person, it’s pretty important to make sure the actor or actress who gets cast to play the part actually looks the part. Hollywood doesn’t always get this right, but they try. So let’s take a look at some of the actors and people they played side by side. White it’s obvious that it’s not always a perfect match when it comes to appearance, in some of these movies the resemblance between the actor and the real person is uncanny.
