Which one's which?

[(Anonymous)]

George on the left, Fred on the right.

I adore them both so much I could never like one better than the other.

....................

but... no...?

I think it's more respectful of them to say that one is a worse actor, personally, because I can't help but feel that it's a bit unfair to label them as one person. I see the differences between them every time I watch one of the movies. Sure, they're more alike than, say, the Sprouse twins, or the Olson twins, but that doesn't make them the same person.

... if I watched the movies more often, I'd be able to tell you which one I thought was a better actor... 'cause one of them definitely is... but I can never remember which (character or actor) I like better...

OP here

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that it's unfair to label them as one person, that's actually what prompted me to make the secret. I read an review that complained about "the twins's wooden delivery" and I was kind of pissed because Oliver is the one with a wooden delivery. James is a good actor and it sucks that he doesn't get recognized for it because most people can't tell him apart from Oliver.

It's not pointing out the differences between them that I'm uncomfortable with, it's just pointing out the negative differences. Maybe it's a bit ridiculous of me.

Re: OP here

[mondaisenshi.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I think that's kinda a double-edged sword. In pointing out the relative weaknesses of one, you're pointing out the relative strengths of the other, comparatively speaking. I don't see how comparing Oliver and James should be any different than comparing, I dunno, James Phelps and Rupert Grint. They play different characters and have different acting ability.

But it's true, there's a bit of a short-end-of-the-stick deal here they'll inevitably both be scrutinized for any faults in the lines either delivers, if only because most people don't put all that much effort into differentiating between the two. Hell, to be honest, if I didn't have such a fascination with twins I wouldn't be able to tell them apart, either... but it doesn't help that I'm already awful with faces... ^^;;

[shinyhappypanic.livejournal.com]

I can never tell who's supposed to be who...and don't they always kind of make the same face and say their lines? but I haven't watched the movies in forever so I'm not saying for sure.

[(Anonymous)]

James is also better looking.


No, really. Take a good look at them. Once they grew up, James got to be much more attractive.

[(Anonymous)]

I totally agree, but I seem to run across more people in fandom who think Oliver's hotter. James has more delicate traits, I suppose it's a matter of taste. I used to be able to tell them apart by remembering that James was "the cute one".

[kaasen.livejournal.com]

I could never tell them or their acting abilities apart.
