Double Take

Okay, so it is a rarity to see two people who look this much alike. While watching "Devil", I quickly searched IMDB, wondering why I didn't know Tom Hardy had a starring role in this flick. It turns out Logan Marshall-Green was the actor who was cast.

*** Tom is known for his work in "Bronson", "Dot the I", "Inception", and "The Dark Knight Rises". Logan has appeared in "Across the Universe", "Brooklyn's Finest", and "The O.C.".
