Something else interesting, on Orange Is The New Black, Laverne Cox had her identical twin brother play her character in scenes that took place before she transitioned.

I wouldn't have accepted anything/anyone other than O'Shea Jackson as his father. As soon a I saw this thumbnail and before I clicked on the video, they came to mind. The resemblance is uncanny and he really did justice to the role.

[ninedeuce]

O’Shea Jackson Jr. was absolutely perfect for that role. Can’t nobody be Ice Cube better than his own son.

[blackcatzzz]

What's most amazing about Zoe is her voice is identical to her mother's. Close your eyes and you can hear Jackie!!

[Leelz]

I had no idea Melissa McCarthy had a daughter. She looks exactly like her!

[angelasieg]

Ralph Fines Nephew played a young Tom Riddle in HP and the Half Blood Prince and Tassia Farmiga played a Younger Vera Farmiga in the Counjuring series

[rachelosborne]

I was gonna be sad if O Shea wasn’t #1 cause he did such an incredible job playing his dad!! And he’s his spitting image too

[trinaq]

The minute I saw this list, I immediately thought of James and Michael! It's also hilarious how Zoe just happened to land the same character as her mother, albeit in her younger days!

[amandaredd]

That makes soooo much sense! I wondered how THE hell they found someone sooo much like Laurie Metcalf to play Young Sheldon's mom. I can't believe it never even dawned on me that the actress could be her freaking daughter! Also, Ice Cube's son is total spitting image and equally as gorgeous and talented

[bogatovika]

Atandwa Kani, son of John Kani played younger version of king T'Chaka in Black Panther

[dionnara]

Don't forget how Dascha daughter played younger her on OITNB

[andie]

I think Michael Gandolfini did an amazing job playing Tony Soprano!

[BabyMUA]

Nicey Nash's youngest daughter played her younger character on Claws.

[archiesto]

First time I heard the mom for Young Sheldon, I was like wow she practiced for this one, she sounds just like her... then shortly after I found out why - glad she is on the list!

[visgrrl]

Emilio Estevez played the young Jed Bartlett in The West Wing. I think that it's the pictures in the kidnapping episodes.

[tesisau]

Can't wait til John David Washington is cast as a young Denzel. That would be epic!!

[lisavanselow]

Grace Gummer also played little Clara in The House of Spirits while Meryl Streep played adult Clara.

[atheistlinguist]

In "Growing Up Brady, " a Brady Bunch biopic based on the book by Barry Williams (the original actor for eldest boy Greg), Michael Lookinland (the original actor for youngest boy Bobby) was portrayed by his own son Scott. The resemblance was uncanny there too!

[realfireman]

Of course O’Shea was #1. O’Shea Jackson Jr looks more like Ice Cube than his dad does.

[happilynaturally]

It had to be O'Shea, he nailed everything about his dad in the movie.
