    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.

                      i just watched "the limey" trailer and was stunned not to see malcolm mcdowell's name on the list that's when i came here to see if anyone else had made the same connection i had. yes, they do look eerily similar.

                        I just found out they are not the same person. Maybe for the trained eye they are totally diferent but for me they have the same facial structure
                        If I ever met Daniel Craig I would only say two words: AHHHHHH! AHHHHHH!

                          You're not insane. I watched Young Guns today for the first time I thought for a moment that I was looking at Malcolm McDowell.

                            Malcom's name in entourage is Terrance also so when I mixed them up at first I thought he was playing a character with his same name kinda like those low quality UPN sitcoms
                            UPN- under paid ni**as

                              I'm watching Wall Street and I was sure it was Malcolm McDowell.

                                    Yes, they do quite resemble one another now that they're older, but certainly not as young men. It's funny how that works. I used to get Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe confused in the late 80's or so. Now they look nothing at all alike to me.
                                    I need my 1987 DG20 Casio electric guitar set to mandolin, yeah

                                      I got these 2 confused up until about 3 years ago. Glad to see I'm not the only one. It took me watching Superman to realize they were 2 separate people.

                                        I just watched The Adjustment Bureau and i thought for sure the main bad guy was Malcom. I can't beleive it wasn't him. I also thought malcom was in Get Smart. Man i was fooled big time.

                                          He looks like a mix of Malcolm McDowell and Charles Dance
