Dan Radcliffe, Jon Hamm considering role to play same part in British miniseries

Harry Potter‘s Dan Radcliffe and Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm are both eyeing a new British miniseries in which they’ll play the same role, but in different time periods.

The four-part miniseries focuses on Russian doctors after the first World War.

Do you think Radcliffe and Hamm look similar enough where this could be pulled off?

What the hell? Not a chance, they might as well get him to play young Will Smith if they’re doing that.
Yes yes yes

Two of my favorite people in the same miniseries playing the same character?? Please let this happen.

Not even.

Oh yes, I so see the resemblance between them! Both white and… yes, that’s about it. :)

I think they look close enough. The rest would depend on their styling and acting. So much is conveyed through a person’s way of speaking, of carrying himself. So yeah, this would be interesting to see.

I thought they were going for the exact same part for a minute until I read “but in different time periods” the second time.

Fight! fight!

I’ll watch anything with Daniel Radcliffe! But they don’t look that much alike. What they need is an older version of Elijah Wood.

I love for it to happen but yeah, they don’t look anything alike. Haha! Daniel Radcliffe wishes he could turn into Jon Hamm. But will Daniel be playing an American or would Jon be playing a Brit?

It’s not the looks, it’s the height problem. Is John Hamm 7 inches taller?

  You can’t really tell how tall a person is onscreen though.

So what accent would they be doing – Russian or British? Should be interesting.
