Believe it or not, Hilary Swank and Jennifer Garner are not the same person. These Hollywood lookalikes are frequently mistaken for one another. If you’re ever confused, just remember Garner married Ben Affleck. Plus, Jennifer stands 2 inches taller than Hilary.

Through the years, Swank received better roles because she’s prettier. They are both B+ list actresses. However, I’ve heard Garner is easier to work with. But, Hilary plays it cool and makes up for her flaws.

Appearances can trick you. Hollywood is a strange and funny place. How many beautiful people come through town and leave disappointed? Even a perfect audition is no guarantee.

In show business, your best may not be good enough. Still, keep getting better like Jessica Alba. Sooner than later, everyone will recognize you; and, you won’t get ignored.

I like when Swank and Garner play soldiers or spies. Both brunettes give and take excruciating pain. Though, I believe Jennifer is tougher. Wouldn’t you rather see Garner in Million Dollar Baby instead of Swank?

Listen, I’m not trying to take away from Hilary’s accomplishments. We’ve seen this actress put on amazing performances. All I am saying is that Jennifer’s career was stalled, because executives screwed up her story.

For instance, did you know Jennifer Garner was born in Houston? Her family relocated to West Virginia, then Canada. Moreover, Hilary hails from Nebraska, although she spent most of her teenage years in Seattle for High School.

Can you believe the Hollywood lookalikes have an identical net worth of $40 million apiece? Keep in mind Hilary is three years younger. So, she’ll probably be richer in the future.

Can you tell the difference between the actresses? Do you think the celebrities ever pass themselves off as each other? What are your favorite Hilary Swank and Jennifer Garner movies? Who is the better actor?

What is the B+ list? Are you familiar with the A and B lists? If an actor is on the B+ list, it means they score A’s and B’s.

Nicolas Cage

Nicolas Cage is the best actor on the B+ list. Moreover, Gone in 60 Seconds, Face/Off, and National Treasure are my favorite Nicolas Cage movies. Bangkok Dangerousis another spectacular Nicolas Cage film.

It is no secret Nicolas faced financial issues. But that doesn’t discount his brilliance. While Wesley Snipes went away for tax trouble, nobody ever says Snipes isn’t a fantastic movie star because of it.

What is more, Nicolas Cage reached what appeared unreachable. At one time, his name was bigger than any other in Hollywood. So, what happened?

If you want to protect your money, you must live beneath your means. Unfortunately, it’s trying for celebs to turn down extravagant mansions, yachts, and things. Hollywood is a glamorous place where everybody’s rich and/or high. Sometimes it’s best to learn the hard way. You have to lose some things, to win something valuable.

Who remembers when Cage was on top? There was a time Tom Cruise praised Nicolas. Don’t close the book on Cage just yet. He can make a comeback like Birdman Michael Keaton.

Cuba Gooding, Jr.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. is also a top thespian on the B+ list. His Jerry Maguire days are long gone. But his portrayal of Nicky Barnes in American Gangster refocused attention on Cuba’s phenomenal acting.

Have you seen Men of Honor, Radio, and Gifted Hands? The illuminating movie star can play both perspectives of the hospital room. It runs in his blood.

Did you know Gooding is one of Hollywood’s most prestigious names? Cuba’s father has been in show business for over 50 years. Therefore, little Havana learned how to entertain at an early age.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. embraces challenges. When you look into his eyes, you see a fearless tiger ready to fight. Plus, the Fighting Temptation (pun intended) preserves and showcases his strengths in every movie.
