Could not disagree more. Whatever slight similarity you are seeing is just that- slight- and no more than passing resemblance- if that!

Resemblance yes, doppelgnger no.

Good call

There is definitely a resemblance between Scott Jacoby and Matthew Modine, but I prefer Scott. Coincidentally, Modine worked with Jodie Foster in "Hotel New Hampshire" (1984) playing dual roles.

I thought Scott Jacoby resembled Geddy Lee from the band RUSH.

As long as people watch "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane," this thread will never die.

i watched the movie b4 and thought matthew modine with dark hair, then saw the credits and it said scott jacoby, i thought modine had just changed his name too, as i think he looks exactly like him

It was not Mathew Modine in "The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane". It was Scott Jacoby. I was a fan of Scott Jacoby when I was a kid. Never missed his movies. I love Mathew Modine as well. Both are great actors.

Same here. And I was thinking at the time, "Isn't Modine younger than Foster? Boy has he aged well" Since he was clearly the older one in that film.
I also agree that it was not just the face (though the nose is a tad bigger/wider) but the voice as well, and honestly, the personality.
I have never seen a doppelganger of this caliber before. The similarity is truly fascinating and I would have been shocked if there was not a thread like this on here. After seeing this perhaps the doppelganger theory has credence after all!

I thought it was Matthew Modine in The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane too.

I still disagree, went over the pictures again.I must be from Mars!

"Our Winning Season", is a good movie. I wish Scott Jacoby and Mathew Modine would do more movies. It would be great to see them both.

I watched "Our Winning Season" the other morning. (great movie) And I thought the same thing. He is almost identical. I wonder what he looks like now. What happened to him?

It's the jawline, from under the nose, downdifferent noses and eyes, and Modine's voice is a bit rougher than Jacoby's, really, not quite as smooth and almost breathy.

I totally agree, too - I'm just watching the movie for the first time now, and I was going to start this thread if it hadn't existed! It's not just his face, it's his voice and speech cadence, too.

Hey, I did lose money on this!! I was sooo sure it was him!

Thought it was a young Modine myself. Got into a lively discussion about it. Glad I didn't bet on it.

I am not wrong. I own the movie and it is Scott Jacoby, not Mathew Moding, who is in it. It's not a big deal. Just Scott is older and has been acting alot longer than, Mathew Modine. I grew up watching Scott in movies and tv shows. Scott was in alot of teen mags (Tiger Beat and 16 Magazine) to name a few.

No. I am not wrong. heck look it up.

I see it too, but I also see a bit of Bill Maher, like perhaps what he would have looked like as a young man.
