Clicking through Wikipedia links (as I'm prone to do when bored), I came across the website of Tony Hawks, sometimes panelist of I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue (from where comes the game Mornington Crescent).

Tony Hawks is not to be confused with American skateboarder Tony Hawk, though he he does get letters from fans of the latter which he has put on his website, along with his (alleged) replies. Click on the Skateboard link to read them.

Does anyone else know any other similarly-named celebrity pairs?
