You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Did they both play Ned Kelley?

They did! You win your Australian criminals spotter's badge.

Isn't he Zeus in the new Clash of the Titans?

Bob Hoskins and Mark Sheppard (ok, this one is totally cheating)

What is this one and why is it cheating? Did Sheppard play a younger version of the same character as Hoskins in the same movie?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Isn't he Zeus in the new Clash of the Titans?

That's Liam Neeson.
