uniformcollector Posted March 5, 2014 Share #48 Posted March 5, 2014 I thought it would be interesting to show some side by side comparison shots of actual historical military figures and the actors who have portrayed them on film. Sometimes the resemblance is uncanny while in other cases it is, shall we say, a stretch. Obviously let's see some of the more obvious choices such as Ike and Patton, but let's also see some more obscure examples. In that vein, first up is Navy diver Master Chief Boatswain's Mater Carl Brashear who was portrayed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the 2000 film "Men Of Honor". Cuba Gooding, Jr. also played Petty Officer Doris Miller in Pearl Harbor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted March 5, 2014 Share #50 Posted March 5, 2014 Major General Maxwell Taylor, commander of the 101st Airborne Division, on the left and actor Paul Maxwell on the right re-creating the same image from "A Bridge Too Far" Apart from certain uniform differances, helmet straps, chute harness etc, I always thought Maxwell looks like Maxwell, get it Maxwell looks like Maxwell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
