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 | |
DOB | 03/11/61 | 04/02/61 |
Height | 5′ 10 ½” | 6′ 0 ½” |
Hair | Balding | Thinning |
Eyes | Brown | Blue |
In Chicago P.D. Elias looks (and acts) like a De Niro.
Donatello was voiced by feldman in the first and third movies I always thought he did all 3
I seriously thought it was all the same person wow how they both look soooo similar. Well they are wonderful actors.
His appearance on Chicago PD is reminiscent of the 50/60’s actor
Gilbert Roland.
What the fuck? That is crazy.
Holy Shnike ‘s
I just saw that’s TMNT 1 again yesterday and thought the same thing until I saw the credits. Insane how similar they look and sound.
Meloni is way sexier, but Koteas has a million $ smile, & looks like he would be a lot of fun. Both great actors, & i still get them confused if i come into the middle of a movie & didn’t see beginning credits. Seems like their voices are different…need to listen to more audio. Wonder if they are friends? So close in age!
I’ve been watching “Combat Hospital” and not only is the resemblance uncanny, but the voices are the same! I’ve had to double take!
I thought these were the same person!!! Omg! They are not twins???? Amazing! And both are still hot….. Barb
Elias is very cool, easy going and I love this guy. He’s sexy and plays his part in Chicago PD extremely well. He isn’t cocky or rude, just a great guy and actor.
Right before I saw this I had looked up casey jones from teenage mutant ninja turtles because I thought meloni had played him!!!! Freaky!
It’s seriously eerie how much they resemble each other!
I totally thought the same thing. Had to do research to find out they were two different ppl.
The resemblance between Koteas and Meloni has naggled my husband and I to the point I had to try to look up a connection between the two. The one thing I felt so sure would pin them as brothers is their voice tone and inflection. So uncanny that they are less than a month apart in age as well.
Even more surprising are the number of people who are questioning the resemblance and voices of these two fine actors.
Yes, I used to think the same thing. I saw Koteas in a movie years ago with Christopher Walken ((Satan). When I finally saw Meloni, I would have lost the house on that bet. My best friend and his wife were mistaken, also.
My bad. The Walken/Meloni movie was The Phophecy, 1995. Walken played Gabriel while Viggo Morgenstern played Lucifer.
They look too much alike,I think it is Elias son,whether or not acknowledged !
I sure thought you two were brothers.
I first saw Koteas in a movie a few yrs ago that I kept questioning myself whether it was Meloni or not! Then having a rerun of Chicago PD on while checking my phone, I HEARD – what I THOUGHT was Meloni speaking, ONLY TO SEE it was Koteas! This REALLY FREAKED ME OUT, because I have a thing for voices and usually EASILY differentiate actors/actresses by their voices! Sure CAN’T do that with these two!!!
They are both hotties!!!
I totally thought they were the same person…thought they made him look a little more scruffy…so he wouldn’t look exactly like Elliott, lol.
Koteas and Meloni have to be related! They look like twins!
I’m a big fan of the movie “Fallen”. I only recently learned that the actor who plays the condemned killer in the beginning of the film was NOT Christopher Meloni. UNCANNY resemblance!
