Facial Resemblance
Christopher Plummer did a fine job as the Duke of Wellington in "Waterloo", but there was another actor who also appeared in this film. Who in my opinion, had a very close facial resemblance to the real Duke of Wellington. It was the actor who played, Colonel Sir William Ponsonby. It was Michael Wilding. If you tap into Wikipedia.com there is a fine portrait painting of Wellington in his red full dress military uniform. The facial resemblances is to me, very close. With slightly high cheekbones and a tapered chin line.
