Exaggeration to make a point...

there a dude in the show heroes who played joe louis, terence howard looks nothing like louis .

The truth of the matter is, nobody on this planet born before or after Louis, looks like Louis! (he had jowls like permanent mumps.) The point is, actors need not resemble the real-life characters they play. The closest a casting director can hope to get to the real person is a general facial or body type. If filmmakers depended upon clones of real-life characters, movies of the genre would never get made...

In "The Untouchables," does DeNiro resemble Capone?

Dolf Lundgren as Wlad Klitschko

McLovin as a young Ricky Hatton.

For the few who havn't seen "Superbad," McLovin's the name on Foggel's fake ID, a character played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse, pictured below.

In the past we had De Niro as LaMotta,John Favreau as Rocky Marciano,James Earl Jones as Jack Johnson and so on. Mark Wahlberg is gonna be playing Micky Ward which is kind of ****ed because they don't really resemble eachother. Anyway, here it goes.

Jamie Foxx as Floyd Mayweather
John Leguizamo as Arturo Gatti, actually Mark Wahlberg kind of looks like Gatti too.

Let's hear some

NICE. ^ I never thought of that. If Foxx could somehow get into believable shape he definately has the chops to smash on the performance.

Cuba Gooding Jr. as Roy Jones Jr.

Seriusly, they look like twins. Every time I see Cuba in a movie I'm like "I didn't know Roy was in this..."
