I'm not trying to be snarky or petty by suggesting a "separated at birth" thing. I'm only mildly suggesting (which is different than "asserting" or "declaring") that there may be a variation on a genetic theme to be considered. Whatever.

Tell you what, Jeff: I have twenty bucks that says McAvoy gets a nose job the day you get a love scene with Keira Knightly.

They don't look anything alike, man. Two male humans...that's really it.

Yeah, there's zero resemblance in those two photos. We all know what you're saying but you didn't chose your evidence carefully enough.

This "demonstration" will knock you out of any jury pool for the rest of your life.

McAvoy looks like the child of Paul Newman and Senn Penn.

Heck of a nice picture of W.C. Fields looking the best I've ever seen him (and the youngest), juxtaposed with the worst picture I'll ever see of James McAvoy.
Fields looks like the hybrid child of Russell Crowe, Tom Hanks and Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Wow, it's not enough for you to denigrate James McAvoy's acting ability based on some idiot prejudice against his appearance, now you have to insinuate he's an alcoholic by juxtaposing him with one of Hollywood's most famous lushes. And worse yet, you don't even have the balls to just flat out say that's what you're thinking. You've got to dance around it like some school boy asking a girl out to the prom. Classy Jeff, real classy!

Godfrey Daniels, are you stretching!
I would pay money to see McAvoy booting a child in the ass or kicking a dog, though.

I don't get this comparison either. But if you do want to talk separated at birth - young actor/dead silver age comid giant - compare Michael Cera and Harpo Marx. It's actually kind of scary.

The only thing I'm learning from this post is that W.C. Fields was half-way good-looking when he was young.
Godfrey Daniels, indeed!

Wait, a mildly-famous Hollywood actor may have an alcohol problem? Stop the presses...
