Both of these actors are in the Bourne series of movies. I thought they were the same character!!It made me very confused trying to figure out what was going on..
This is so ridiculously late to be adding a comment... but just wanted to say how awesome it was to type "actor who looks like Albert Finney" into google and have the first result be the name I was after, Brian. The power of the internet is a vast and often wonderful thing.
I always wondered how Albert Finney was such a prolific actor cast in multiple movies....now I know..he replicated himself..his other persona is known as Brian Cox LOL. Seriously, I as watching a movie, a recent one and couldn't see Albert Finney's name in the opening credits but he was (or so I thought) the main actor. Then I googled Brian Cox and realised that the bloke i'd seen past few movies (and vise versa) was not Albert finney or Brian Cox but Brian cox or albert Finney......Silly me
I know I'm repeating the content of other comments, but I cannot get over the mistake (IMHO) of casting Finney in The Bourne Supremacy in such a similar role (sinister high-level CIA figure at the heart of the Treadstone mystery) to that played by Cox in the previous two films. I was bewildered; I thought it was the same character (and actor) - [SPOILER ALERT!] how had he returned after his suicide in the second film? I found myself scanning imdb synopses, trying to figure it out, while the film played ... until I realized that Cox was not in the third film's cast, nor was his character in the film: It was a different guy! I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one.
i've definately gotten these two mixed up, and i looove albert finney!
ReplyDeleteYes!!! I can't believe I didn't submit this one myself, it's one of the best ever!
ReplyDeleteI came across this page to solve a real doubt about who was who. Those two are REALLY similar, unlike some other examples in these pages.
ReplyDeleteMy neighbor's husband got so mad when she and I were arguing with him about who was who in that Bourne Ultimatum movie. Crazy look alike!
ReplyDeleteI was so confused in The Bourne Ultimatum. I thought they were the same person.
DeleteI didn't even know Brian Cox existed, I thought they were all Albert Finney :|

Just watching Erin Brokovic. Couldn't decide Brian Cox or Albert Finney! So alike. Great British actors
