Gaiman at Beowulf Premiere

I am notoriously bad at matching names to faces. Anyone watching a movie with me will vouch for this, as whenever a person comes on the screen that looks familiar to me, I'll say "Hey, isn't that (some actor)," and the people in the room will look at me with puzzled looks on their faces and say "Huh? They look nothing alike. No, that's (some other actor)." In Hollywood especially, I find that faces more or less all look same. For years, I could not tell the difference between Al Pacino from Robert De Niro (thankfully, it's gotten better as they've gotten older, as Pacino grows more gaunt and wrinkled, while De Niro goes bearded).

I present a photo of the Beowulf premiere that finds that Getty Images sucks as much as I do in identifying people. The description of the image reads as follows:

Beowulf Premiere - Inside

LONDON - NOVEMBER 11: (EMBARGOED FOR PUBLICATION IN UK TABLOID NEWSPAPERS UNTIL 48 HOURS AFTER CREATE DATE AND TIME) Crispin Glover and Sir Anthony Hopkins attend the European premiere of 'Beowulf', at the Vue West End on November 11, 2007 in London, England. (Photo by Dave M. Benett/Getty Images)

Yes, that's Sir Anthony Hopkins. The man standing beside him, however, is not Crispin Glover (Thin Man in Charlie's Angels, George McFly in Back to the Future), but rather writer Neil Gaiman.
