Male Doubles: Post 1

Hey everyone! First, thank you SO much for all the doubles you gave me when I asked for help! Your assistance is what made this first post possible. :) Second, I got so many doubles that I have to seperate them somehow, and the easiest way was by male and female. But even that was long, so this first post has five male actors and the roles that I or you would know them from. There will be another males post, and then some female ones. I'm not sure how many more male and female ones may come, we'll see how many doubles I find! If you have any ideas or suggestions for the future, please let me know. :) Oh, and also please let me know if any pictures are wrong!!!! Since I haven't seen some of these, that's a real possibility. Thanks again! Okay. Here we go.

Type: fiction.
