10 Actors Who Look Exactly Like The Characters They Played

2. Truman Capote - Philip Seymour Hoffman

Capote

Is there anyone else in the world who could have played Truman Capote besides Philip Seymour Hoffman? Seriously. Take your glasses off and look at the two pictures, and I defy you to identify which one is the celebrated novelist and which is the actor who won an Oscar for playing him. (Ok so Toby Jones did in the "other Capote" movie Infamous, but he was overshadowed by Hoffman) I'm not even going to take into account the way that Hoffman perfectly mimicked the delicate, effete vocal style that Capote was known for. Because honestly, if they get any more alike, I'm worried that people will begin to worry about human cloning conspiracy theories. And that's the last thing we need.
