Separated at Birth?

Actor James Franco (left), best known for his role in the Spider-Man series of movies is the spitting image of influential indie rocker Jeff Buckley (right). I hope that he will one day play him in a biopic. Buckley(1966-1997) died at age 30, drowning in Wolf River Harbor, a tributary of the Mississippi River. No drugs were involved in his death.

As an aside, Buckley's haunting rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" is one of my all-time favorite songs. You can listen to it on YouTube here. Buckley's critically acclaimed 1994 debut album CD "Grace" is now on sale at Wal-Mart for only $6.88 and is well worth the investment.
