Chris + Martin Can You Tell Who's Who ?

My guess is Chris on top, Martin on the bottom (It has always been my impression that Martin had some surgery on his upper lip...that was how I could tell them apart) Your opinions ?

Yes--Chris on top, Martin on the bottom. I always thought Chris had the slightly fuller face, and Martin was just a little bit "cuter".

Yeah, they're dead, they're--all messed up.

i think u r both right about whose who..once when i was watching the film i tried to see if there was any diffrence in the two and i must say they are about as identical as you can get but i think Chris still had a couple missing teeth on the bottom Martin did not...i think thats what i saw...their voices are totally diffrent though Chris had a louder voice.

Chris is on top, Martin is on the bottom. I have seen this film so many times it is quite easy for me to tell them apart. Chris is more animated, cheerful, expressive. Martin less so. Chris also was a more natural actor. The only time Martin is used in the film is when they both appear in a scene, though you may notice they NEVER appear in frame at the same time, and we ALWAYS see Niles first, then the camera pans to Holland so are we always seeing Holland from Niles' point of view. The only time Martin is used alone (without his brother) is the scenes with Mrs. Rowe. You can tell that he talks differently than Chris. Chris, as Niles, had a LOT more scenes than Martin did. But that is definitely Martin in the Mrs. Rowe scene.
