    Yes you are. To me, their only resemblance is that they are both British actors with gray/white hair. Plus, Stamp has the VOICE OF ZOD.

          I don't think you are insane. I made the same mistake thinking he was Malcolm McDowell. I think they look similar.

              Certainly not insane, easy mistake to make. They look like they could be brothers.
              Is it just me, or does the poison taste different today?

                LOL. I thought this was the guy from Star Trek Generations too. He seemed a little different but I chalked that up to the 14 years gap between that and Get Smart.

                  They may look more alike now they both have white hair, but they definitely didn't look like each other a couple of decades ago.

                    Yeah it's probably the white hair and similarwell, balding and they seem to style it the same too. But I think I've finally figured out that Terence looks sort of dignified where Malcolm looks more cheekyboth to their favors I think.

                        They look different enough. I just watched Yes Man and Terance reminded me of Malcolm. I knew it wasn't him, but I had to come here just to make sure.
                        I think the cherry on top is that Malcolm's character in Entourage is named Terrance 😛

                          I just found out that it wasn't Malcolm McDowell, after thinking it was him the whole time.

                            I'm back, and how funny is this-
                            I relayed the gist of this message board to a friend of mine who said that her boyfriend had mistaken Terrence Stamp for Malcolm McDowell when they were watching Get Smart. If you've seen Get Smart, remember the whole thing about the 9th and "Operation Joy"? Well, he thought that part of Get Smart was hysterical, when he thought it was McDowell, as he's a great Clockwork Orange fan. She told him, "that was not Malcolm McDowell, it was Terrence Stampthey just look a lot alike." He said, "Well then that makes Get Smart a lot less funny."
                            Is it just me, or does the poison taste different today?

                              Didn't you watch the rest of the film??
                              Ode to Joy by Beethoven is what triggers the big bomb!! Hence, to him it sounds familiar as it's his bomb.

                                Same here. When I see one of them in a movie, it takes a while for me to figure out if it's Stamp or McDowell. As I see it, Stamp's face has more rigidity than McDowell's.

                                  I've noticed a bit of a similarity myself. I think it'd be awesome if they played brothers in a movie. I'm surprised it's never been done before actually.

                                      They don't look like twins but are close in age and have white hair and wrinkly faces and there's something of a rebel about them. And of course they've both played villains. They are sort of interchangable (because they've played similiar kinds of roles) a bit like Jeremy Irons and Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman and Tim Roth are (or used to be). If one's not available, call the other one up!

                                        Exactly,their is something of a devil-may-care,certainly cool and rebellious trait to both their personalities..and apart from their facial similarity,they've ha5b4ve an eye-catching screen presence in whichever films they act in!

                                          Something tells me Bethesda wanted Stamp (who was in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) to voice the President in Fallout 3. They ended up hiring McDowell instead.
