Hmmm.... it never occurred to me that they ever looked alike. Especially not now, in advancing age, but I see what you mean when I see these two photos next to each other. I wish someone would do a movie of Leonard's life.. (Altman, perhaps?) and star Al Pacino as Leonard. Al would do a great Leonard.
i never heard the dustin hoffman one but i have heard that in his younger days leonard was a dead ringer for pacino. and it's true! he is! i dunno about pacino playing cohen in a film or anything. doesn't seem like his type of role actually.
that's hilarious. hahaha. leonard cohen as ratso rizzo. hahaha. i don't think leonard could have gotten that squeaky voice or hobo look down that well though. hahahahaha.
