One of our favorite ginger thespians in Rupert Grint has a doppelganger himself and turned out to be a pretty versatile actor himself despite the fact that he grew up in one of the most historically lucrative movie franchises of all-time in the Harry Potter series. Not only is not strapped for cash, he has also made a name for himself outside of the popular book turned movie franchise by starring in films like Moonwalkers, Cherrybomb, Into The White, and television series, Snatch and Sick Note.

Rupert Grint has not only made history but so has his doppelganger as well.
