It has been said that everyone has their doppelgangers. In the case of famous actors, often there are other actors who have similar looks. In some instances it might allow an unknown actor to get ahead if they have the same look of another, high-profile one; being unknown, studios can get away with paying them less than any blockbuster star.
This article has a grouping of 30 side-by-side photo examples of actors who are similar in appearance. See the entire collection here.

Perhaps people tend to lose the individuality of their looks as they age. Also, doesn't Hollywood search for people who have a certain look? I would also guess that they like to stick to the formula - if one movie works, copy it to death. If one set of looks works, find a lookalike.
