Do you know of any other movies or TV shows where the actor is uglier than the person he is portraying?

p.s. I think there were a few TV shows and movies about JFK in which the actor was not as handsome as the original.

I have seen two portraits of Mary Campbell, wife of Rob Roy McGreggor. She was a stunning beauty.

She was portrayed by Jessica Lange who was a beautiful actress but I think the girl in the portraits is prettier.

It amazes me when you are watching true crime as the actors are models next to their real life counterparts

There’s a cult of groupies who call themselves “Cumberb*tches.”
Never understood his appeal at all.

He’s Sherlock Holmes. I wouldn’t call him ugly. A little odd, different, yes.

John Kerry is uglier than Lurch from the Addams Family.

I have only seen him in specials and documentaries but John Wilkes Boothe was far handsomer than any of the actors who portrayed him.

I have never seen ‘Helen of Troy” but the actress who portrayed her in “Troy” had a face which might have launched a few row boats but not a thousand ships.

I think the real Amadeus Mozart was better looking than Tom Hulce’s depiction in Amadeus (1984). In that film he was deliberately given a less than flattering depiction because it was from Salieri’s POV and he hated him.

For Netflix Narcos nobody could have beat the real Pablo Escobar.

In the 1967 film made from Truman Capote's In Cold Blood, the actors, Robert Blake as Perry Smith and Scott Wilson as Dick Hickock bear a striking resemblance to the actual killers they portray.

I thought John Goodman as Babe Ruth was such a case. .

Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash for sure.

Madonna as Evita.

Streep as Thatcher.

Anyone trying to play Marilyn.

Too easy. One of these pictures is Martin Sheen playing Robert E. Lee. The other is the real Robert E. Lee. Can anyone guess which is which?

In broad daylight.

Brian Dennehey played a character based off Ken McElroy.

I was in Skidmore for a job a few years ago. My customer was a local that grew up there. When I asked about Skidmores notoriety he acted as if I never said it. It was very strange but I understood and respected him for it. McElroy was a no good bastard.

His wife (victim) Trinia just died a few years back. She lived in southern Missouri.
