I think there are 4 views on this:
1) Bloodlines (DNA explains the resemblence)
2) Photoshop falsification of history
3) Cloning
4) There are only so many avatars this "game of life" has to choose from.
And I'll suggest my preferred option too:
5) masks.
SAME BISH?
Tim Ozman/IPS makes the point that masking was cia technology, that would make it possible to have apparently multiple versions of the same person in the same room - e.g. 7 Saddam Hussains.
The masks are not what we think - they include the hair pieces (so the hairline can be different) and go right down to the neck. They even do hands. All this allows for very natural movement and expressions.
With these sorts of masks (and they are quite expensive) it becomes very hard to tell whether 1 person is playing 2 roles. Even skin colour can be changed. Really the only thing that is set is placement of the eyes and mouth.
Ones that I think are especially interesting:
JFK and Jimmy Carter
Adam Lanza and David Hogg
Justin Beaver and theweeknd (their girlfriend/wife even looks the same)
Alex Jones and Bill Hicks of course
Jimi Hendrix and Morgan Freeman
All these are - of course - impossible to prove. But, if true, there is a sort of twisted logic/humour to the idea, especially for the first 2.
In general, I think it's perfectly plausible that they do get the same actor to play multiple roles - you don't have to handle so many people, and that the actor is immediately capable of handling public situations. So although I did not give this idea much credence at first, on reflection it seems quite a practical possibility!
P.S. not a mask, but I have heard that Angela Merkel has more than a passing resemblance to Hitler! Maybe his daughter!
