Confusing Actors in the MCU

Watching various Marvel movies and seeing who is in the credits, I am sometimes surprised. For example, I watched the first Thor movie thinking it was Ed O’Neill playing Dr. Erik Selvig and it wasn’t until the second movie that I matched the character with the actor. It turns out that it was not actually Al Bundy playing a scientist in the Thor movies. It was some guy named Stellan Skarsgard, who has been in some other movies too but I never saw those.
Ed O’Neill:
Stellan Skarsgard:
I had a slightly different problem with the Iron Man 2 movie. There I paid attention to the credits and was surprised to see the bad guy was played by Mickey Rourke. I said to myself “that is not the Mickey Rourke I remember.”
It turns out I was picturing Mickey Rooney
not Mickey Rourke.
And the other problem I had was early on in the Iron Man franchise because I had grown up hearing about Morton Downey Jr, so I had to stop and think about which Mr. Downey Jr. was playing Tony Stark so I didn’t accidentally say the wrong one.
For reference:
Robert Downey Jr.
Morton Downey Jr.
When they looked from a distance and did not recognize him, they raised their voices and wept. And each of them tore his robe, and they threw dust over their heads toward the sky.
