The Poor Man's List

Gary Busey is the poor man's Nick Nolte. Mickey Rourke is the poor man's Bruce Willis. David Morse is the poor man's Russell Crowe. Mr. Pibb is a poor man's Dr. Pepper. This list goes on and on, and it's my new favorite list. I have to take issue, however, with their assertion that Eric (Grey's Anatomy) Dane is the poor man's Leo DiCaprio. While Dane shares a physical resemblance with Leo, Emile Hirsch does too, and actually scoops up many of the roles DiCaprio passes on. Furthermor, like Leo (and unlike Dane), Hirsch struggled to vault from puberty into manhood. Only after Blood Diamond did I actually buy DiCaprio as something more than, as John McCain so eloquently put it, an androgynous wimp.

Also, they need to plug Andy Garcia in as the poor man's Al Pacino, rather than old Al Pacino is the poor man's young Al Pacino, which is still pretty funny. And if Andy Garcia's the poor man's Pacino, then Ron Silver is the homeless man's Pacino.
