Separated at Birth: Christopher Meloni and Elias Koteas
January 30th, 2007 by Seth

Another in my continuing series.

Seperated at Birth: Christopher Meloni and Elias Koteas

I may not be the first to think of this one, but I’ve got better data!

Plus, I seriously thought Meloni was in the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie until I learned otherwise last week. The two look so similar AND sound similar; it’s eerie!

See the tale of the tape below and feel free to add your comments or point me to better instances.

  Elias Koteas Christopher Meloni
  Elias Koteas Chris Meloni
DOB 03/11/61 04/02/61
Height 5′ 10½” 6′ 0½”
Hair Balding Thinning
Eyes Brown Blue

    Fametracker had a 2 stars 1 slot on these two a good while back. Meloni wins hands down for me as well.

    I just think Meloni is hot… that’s all the input I have.

    Seperated at birth: Maria Bello and Mary McCormack…

    It’s systems like blogging and twitter that allow simple questions such as:
    Am I the only one who thought Maria Bello & Mary McCormack were the same actress? They were both on ER for crying out loud! Blogging this.
    To be answered thusly:
    Yep…

    OMG I kept watching movies like Shooter and Zodiac and I kept wondering why in the world they were making Christopher look like this in these movies or was that how he looked in real life. Then I saw the credits and knew it was another person. Wow!!!! they could really be brothers.

    Holy crap I was just watching the original TMNT and starting thinking this, then found this blog. Isn’t that just scary how much those two look, act, interact, talk and appear the same. They have to be cousins or something.

    I just saw the haunting… and I had to look it up because I thought it was Christopher though I was in doubt because of Elias eyes.

    I too, have always thought it was CM in TMNT and I must say I am sorely disappointed.
    Still, CM wins!

    My husband kept saying I know that’s him from svu. I said no I watch every episode of svu its not him. So we looked it up. And found this. The blue eyes and the hair are what confuses everyone. But saying elias is not cute at all is wrong in every way. If he read that it would hurt. They both are amazing actors.

    For years I’ve always ranted about how these two look so much alike. It would be neat to see them in a movie together as brothers. It would be completely believable as they are so similar.

    Separated at Birth: Aaron Eckhart & Thomas Jane…

    Every time Deep Blue Sea airs on TV, I think of both of these two actors. Their voices are even similar enough that, were it not for the presence of the chin dimple and some longer hair, they’d be the same guy.
    Take a look:

     
    Aaron Eckhart…

    WOW!!! I just saw the haunting, and yes they sound alike and look just alike. They should get a DNA just to be on the safe side… By the way I have seen both of them in various movies over the years and thought one was the other. I think both of them are sooooo dam hot8 Law and order (suv) is one of my favorite shows. And I’d like to see Elias in more movies as well. They’re both cuit.

    I was watching the Haunting movie and was saying how good looking Christopher Meloni was when he was young, then I was like, wait a min, are they makin’ him look older? So I took my hand out of my bra and found

    They both are the sexiest men I’ve ever seen! And incredible actors. I love Chris for his seemingly fun personality, incredible body (although Elias has a nice body too!)and gorgeous blue eyes.
    Elias just has this incredible sexiness about him. His dark brown eyes and his expressions. And his smile!
    They both have a lot of similarities and they both ROCK!!

    I just watched CRASH and thought to myself that I could never watch SVU again. All is well, Chris is back on the top of the list again.

    like everyone else, i just watched ‘the haunting..’ and was like, wait a minute, isn’t that guy named something else? went to wiki and imdb to look up elias, and there was no sign of ‘oz’ nor ‘svu’… i was lost, then i saw a suggestion that said elias koteas and christopher meloni…ahhhaaaa!! they act and look exactly alike. good call.

    TYVM for clearing up that the guy in the ninja turtles is NOT the guy from SVU!

    My friends consider me the “movie expert”! I guess I proved to them that I am just another fan who thought the two were related or even the same person. As a matter of fact, I was watching “THE PROPHECY” just today with my husband when I suggested to him that Christopher Meloni changed his name at some point before his name became a household word.

    Christopher Meloni looks abit like Bert from Sesame(not sure how u spell that) Street, in a kind of cute way. Love SVU and think Chris is a great actor who brings incredible intensity to his role.

    Elias Koteas looks EXACTLY like Robert DeNiro. In fact, I’m surprised everybody links him to the nobody you have pictured. DeNiro’s the obvious choice

    Seperated at Birth: Christopher Meloni and Elias Koteas — I REALLY thought they HAD to be brothers!!!!! The similarities are astounding!!!! One plays the good guys and the other the bad. Glad I’m not the only one to see how similar they seem. Thanks for letting me mention it. Christopher is great, I love his acting. First saw Koteas today while watching “Fallen” Scary dude. Might do well for a production company to hire the two of them for a movie about brothers. — though many siblings bear no resenblence. –

    I was so certain that those two were brothers. I just watched a movie w/ Elias in it. I was surpirsed how much they looked alike. I thought to get on & do a search & found this blog. I’ve been a fan of Chris’ for many years.. since OZ!! They say everyone has a twin. We found theirs!!! If I had a choice… Chris is by far the sexier one!!!

    Always thought these two were interchangeable. Just like:
    DWIGHT SCHULTZ (Murdock) and BRAD DOURIF (voice of Chucky)
    incidentally – both were on Star trek at some time or another.

    I always get these two confused!
