Strongly resembles a young Brian Bedford


I was watching the old racing movie, "Grand Prix", and was struck at how much Alan Cumming--at least when he is playing Eli Gold--resembles the British actor Brian Bedford in this movie. It's uncanny. Bedford even has an Eli Gold style haircut. When we were watching the movie, my son walked in and said, "Isn't that the guy from 'The Good Wife?'" I was then that I explained to my son that Cumming was about a year old when "Grand Prix" premiered.

In any case, if you are a fan of Cumming (as I am), you'll get a kick out of the resemblance, and you should either rent the movie, or at least look up some Bedford photos from when he was young.

Also resembles Robert Stephens, from certain angles, circa The Prime of Miss Jane Brodie.
