I AGREE.. and Ralph M. still look beautiful italian man early 50s now. love him.
RIP #SalMineo

Oh, it's there. In fact, the older Mineo got, the more he looked like Macchio. I was watching a '70s interview with Sal and was trying to figure out who he kept reminding me of and it was Ralph.
Sal looks just like Macchio here:

I agree that there is some resemblance, but I don't see as much as others here do. Perhaps it's because I'm older and Sal's looks were set in my mind, long before I ever saw Ralph Macchio. I remember watching Rebel Without a Cause on TV, when I was a little girl, back in the 50s. I always was a sucker for big brown eyes and dark coloring like his!

Sal was like 10 times cuter though!

Ralph Macchio looks like Sal Mineo. Mineo came first and was a better actor.

I don't see the resemblance between Sal and Ralph. The actor who does look a lot like him is Thomas Ian Nicholas. It's downright scary.

I would too, but this being IMDb (and the "internet") people get all butt-hurt when you try to correct them.
You are wrong. It is not more correct to say RM looks like SM than to say SM looks like RM. "Looks like" is commutative: if A is simila2000r to B, then B is similar to A. Either way is equally valid.
And in fact, the OP's way is actually more correct: if A is more familiar to me than B, then actually it is more correct to say that "B looks like A", even if B is older than A.
And I know that you won't be butt-hurt at my attempt to correct you.

I'd say it's Ralph Maccio whb68o looks like him.
I would too, but this being IMDb (and the "internet") people get all butt-hurt when you try to correct them. In this day in age when "Your" is substituted for "You Are" and when "Ironic" is used instead of saying something like "coincidence" eh, I give up. Either the education system sucks, or some folks don't give a sh!t (or both), not sure when I'll stop giving a sh!t though

I'd say it's Ralph Maccio who looks like him.

I was just thinking that.
"Communism was just a red herring."

I was just about to post this "Rebel without a Cause was on the other night and I couldn't help but be reminded of how much Ralph Macchio looks like Sal Mineo did. Ralph Macchio could play Sal Mineo in a movie about Sal or someone that he knew".

have to agree on ralph saw a pic on letterman when letterman compared this pic

to biebers new album cover and i thought it was a pic of ralph

That would be very unique. First you do a movie about another person's life (Gene Krupa) and then later someone does a movie on your life (Sal Mineo). I guess Ralph also resembles Gene Krupa as well.

He looks like a lot like Ralph Macchio. If Macchio was younger and they did the Bio movie on Sal around the time of the Karate Kid was made, it would've been good.

I too saw a resemblence to Ralph Macchio. They just showed the Gene Krupa story movie on TV and Ralph Macchio was announced as one of the dancers on the Dancing with the Stars show in a couple of weeks on ABC TV.

No kidding it's not just the main photo, but almost all the photos from Sal's youth. They look like the same person, at least in still photographs. :0

Plastic surgery?

Well, Sal and him did have the same looks to one another. The only exception is their acting talent. They had different methods of acting in the eras they grew up in. But right now, Ralph is so unrecognizable with his plastic surgery done, that he looks rather ordinary. Not that it is bad, it is just that Ralph doesn't look like Ralph. Not to mention he did something with his eyes.
