OMG! I remember watching a movie called "FAST FORWARD" years ago and I use to always think that the black boy was Blair Underwood for the longest. So I googled the movie(because "Dirty Sexy Money" obviously reminded me of Blair Underwood to google him) and no where in Underwood's list of movies he completed did it list "Fast Forward" so I had to google the movie title and it showed Don Franklin as playing who I thought was Blair Underwood's character.
I had to wiki them to see if they were related or something, and then I came upon this website with their pictures side by side, but no relation (that we know of). Really frekkin weird...wowzers, they could really be brothers.
BTW, I think Blair Underwood is one of the sexiest men in Hollywood ;-)
I agree actors Mr. Don Franlikn and Mr. Blair Underwood could be related or brothers.
"Asteroid" is on Scifi and I "see" Blair Underwood; however, the name I saw in the credits is David Underwood. So, I'm wondering if Blair Underwood went by a different name earlier in his career and get to googling away. Long story short, I never would have even known Don Franklin existed if I hadn't wondered at the coincidence of last names was bored enough to look into it. Every time I have ever seen Don Franklin, I thought it was Blair Underwood. Even on one of my favorite shows, I never doubted it was him. I think I just always figured he was "in character" or looked kinda scruffy(but still extremely good looking)on purpose.
I'm Don Franklin's daughter Sophia, and he gets REALLY mad when people mistake him for Blair, if you ever see him in real life don't do it xDD Also try not to do that anymore... Seriously I teased him about it once and he yelled at me for like five minutes. I was like SHUTUPDAD.
Man I just saw the most recent Castle episode "Suicide Squeeze" and totally googled the two actors names together. Don Franklin is in the episode and as I watched I was like, I know that's not Blair - but man he looks just like him! Definitely could be brothers.
I've only recently looked up Don Franklin's name. We've always just referred to him as "The guy who's not Blair Underwood".
Tell Don don't be mad be happy. That he also is an actor in the same right. Don't hate...celebrate my brother.
Well actually Don Franklin is better looking to me
Yes, I've been trying to figure this out for a while, never knew Don Franklin's name. He even sounds like Blair and has the same demeanor and posture, wow!
It's so ironic how their both in the same field of business. I wonder if either of their dads were "creeping", lol, no disrespect intended.
When Don appeared on 'Girlfriends' a few times his energy and swag were so much like Blairs.
Sophia I don't understand why your dad would get mad he's so handsome as well... I for one never thought he looked like Blair untill now looking at some photos of him and blair side by side lol...I love looking at them both ......a fan in Chicago. .
I swore that they were brothers. I was mad when I found out they were not. in my mind they are, they just don't know it. lol
When I watched Girlfriends many years ago I just assumed it was Blair Underwood. I don't know what made me look him up this time around when I decided to watch Girlfriends again and I was puzzled that his name was not appearing on the list of guest stars. Only then did I discover that there's Don Franklin, like now in 2014. Hilarious.
Not until today i thought Blair Underwood played the character DEXTER in Living Single as Regine Hunter's fiance! When i checked in IMDB and saw it was Franklin, i thought it was a mistake lol. These guys are definitely related.
He looks like Blair Underwoods retarded cousin.
First of all the both sexy as hell and chocolate and moocha is my s***! Blair can get it if he ain't married and so can don with his fine ass. No disrespect to either men
Just love the brothers
Need to have an DNA test done asap, seriously.
With Don being slightly older, maybe he knows something to the fact of their actual biological relationship.
I just watched the "ballgame" episode of Girlfriends, and I thought that was Blair Underwood with a few extra pounds. I'm usually excellent with faces, but I was STUMPED this time. I gave up trying to decide if that was him or not, and waited for the credits to roll. When it said Don Franklin, I said I'll BE DAMN! They look like TWINS! LOL
I watch The Young Riders daily love to watch Don Franklin play Noah....but really is odd that they look alike. I'm sure I have a dopple out there somewhere. Doesn't everyone? Both are great actors and I would and will watch both.....
Your his daughter?
I love the young riders and Blair is the bomb I truly agree they are equally as handsome good my black brothers it a complaint to you both to look alike Sophia where is your mom lol
UNREAL! I just found out today that the actor I always thought was Blair Underwood's 'younger' brother was not only not an Underwood, not Blair's brother, but Don Franklin was in fact a couple years older! They are both just too handsome and a couple of very fine actors! In my opinion Don is cuter and actually a better actor. He doesn't seem to get the juicy roles that Blair gets for some reason. Good luck to both guys. Kiss yr daddy for me, Sophie��
Its 2019 and I'm still waiting for them to admit they've been lying about being brothers all these years. They look so much alike.
Well since Blair Underwood career is more of substance then his I can understand but cant. Ridiculous
In tv series, "Seven Days" at first I thought Don Franklyn was Blair Underwood, until I saw the credits..
Don W.
Best wishes to both guys, from someone who used to go to Jay's Gym on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago with Don "back in the day"
So I'm not nearly the only one who thinks they realllly look alike. I saw reruns of Young Riders and was shocked he's not been at least as popular an actor as Blair Underwood. I'll have to see him in something more current. But at that time, Don Franklin was even more gorgeous than him. Never thought anyone could be ��.
Or twins separated at birth!
This stumped me. I mean, it is absolutely something that these two men look like twins, and they're in the same industry. I think it would be great if they did a project together. Much love to you both! Much love to your families.
In the credits of the first episode of the 80's sci-fi show "SEAQUEST DSV" I was certain Don Franklin's name was David Underwood before it was changed to Don Franklin.
Somebody needs to get a DiNA
I just watched the same episode and thought to myself, "I didn't remember that Blair Underwood was in this" and went to look up some of the other cast members and saw the name "Don Franklin" by the character "Jonathan Ford" and nearly lost my mind! Now I'm checking all of Mr. Franklin's credits to see what other shows/movies I might have mistaken him for Blair...
Lol they both was on the Cosby Show
They should do their ancestry...
Men hide kids...
The first I saw Don Franklin was in the last season or 2 of Young Riders. He definitely was the best looking, best built, tallest of the guys. Which included Josh Brolin and Stephen Baldwin (also had Anthony Zerbe, Melissa Leo, Brett Cullen)
The last I recall seeing him was in a commercial that only aired a few times. Still the resemblance, but not as much.
Wondering if gal claiming to be his daughter, is.
Oh, and as for men 'having kids', my so-called mother let MY father raise what he died thinking was his younger daughter. Nope...she was the bio daughter of someone ELSE'S husband. And who knows who's. I'd long suspected it.
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💞💞
Which episode? Were they on the same one?
To Dan's Daughter: Your Father & Blair should consider writing & performing in something together & blasting Hollywood out of the water!!!
I first noticed Don Franklin on Young Riders...he was definitely the sexiest guy on it. Even over Brett Cullen. And way over Brolin. Tallest and GREAT build.
Hey, what about Lou!. Lol, I saw the same thing and for years thought it was Blair Underwood too.
