Potentially the most notable thing about Zukerman is that when you see him, you have to ask yourself if he's B.J. Novak.
I'll include a picture of them side by side later on. Right now, I don't have room to do it while still including the posters for the two movies I'm talking about today.
Novak is best known for his role as Ryan Howard on The Office, though he of course also appears/ appeared in other things. He even directed a movie a few years ago, Vengeance, and is responsible for a truly unique children's storybook that we got given to us as a present, The Book With No Pictures.
As I was watching the Australian movie In Vitro on Wednesday night -- the second Zukerman movie I've seen in the past four months after One More Shot on New Year's Eve -- I thought again to myself "Yeah, here's B.J. Novak's doppelganger again." Of course, I didn't really have to think of it in those terms because the phenomenon of him looking like B.J. Novak prompted me to learn his name a while ago. As a film critic working in Australia, it's also just generally a good idea for me to know these things.
Imagine my surprise, then, when the very next night, I saw Zukerman's doppelganger in another movie.
Although we are a little less likely to see Novak around than we were a few years ago, he does in fact turn up in The Devil Wears Prada 2, playing the douchebag son of the owner of the media company that publishes Miranda Priestly's magazine. (The character isn't reprehensible, but his big recurring character trait is that he can't stop saying "you guys" and always has to correct himself to say "people" instead. As a big "you guys" guy myself, I didn't think this was so bad.)
So yeah, nothing more profound really to say today except that I saw the lookalikes in two consecutive movies. Sometimes that's all you get.
And now that I've written enough other words to exceed the height of the two movies posters, you get your pic of them next to each other:
So I guess there was one more thing you "get" today.
