11 Biopic Actors Who Look Exactly Like the Real People

Casting a biopic is tricky. You want the best actor you can find, of course, but they've also got to pull off looking like a real person, often a person familiar to the audience with existing photos or even videotape. Natural resemblance is a stroke of luck, but in many of these cases, it takes more than hair and makeup- it takes real acting skills. In my opinion, casting Stephen Frye as Oscar Wilde is the best of this group, with Robert Downey, Jr. as Charlie Chaplin in second place. That said, Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis can play anyone anytime.
