Eteri T— Minnie Driver

Maybe not now, but years before all the surgeries and procedures done to her face and the blonde dye job, there’s a pretty good resemblance to Minnie Driver. I love Minnie btw!

Tessa Virtue -- Kristen Stewart

Surely needed to do a Twilight program before someone could say this. On that note, I'll bring up the classic Edward Cullen/Yan Han comparison and say Robert Pattinson should portray him.

Back in the day at the height of the Nancy / Tonya scandal, Kerrigan could have been played by Julianna Margulies, Harding by Amy Adams, Rosie O'Donnell as Christine Brennan, and Phil Hersh could be played by a bag of sour grapes.

Would Ben Stiller portraying Lloyd Eisler be a bit of a stretch?

Would Ben Stiller portraying Lloyd Eisler be a bit of a stretch?

In the literal sense. Lloyd is six feet tall, Ben is 5 feet, 6 inches.

I always thought Amy Schumer could have been Tonya.

Jeremy Abbott by Ross Philips (aka Tom Long in the 'so bad it's good' Hart of Dixie)

If you want to see Brian Orser's lookalike (as coach more than as skater) just watch Hitchcock's Stranger on a Train and check out Robert Walker.

Ksenia Stolbova - Lea Michele (especially in that instagram photo where she's showing her pregnant belly)

I just saw Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery last night, and I kept trying to figure out why Janelle Monae looked so familiar to me. I looked her up on IMDb as soon as I got home, and I definitely hadn't seen any of her previous work. It dawned on me today that I was actually thinking of Vanessa James.

Mariska Hargitay as Margarita Drobiazko
Seth Meyers as Povilas Vanagas
Vivian Wu as Chen Lu (especially here https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/17/df/1f17dfd5e85d30dbf9bce152424a49ea.jpg)

If her character Callisto wasn't so menacing-looking all the time, Xena Warrior Princess actress Hudson Leick reminds me of Kiira Korpi.
