Definitely looks the same. if he had been on the island awhile he would have gotten more of a tan. Could help account for the little difference. Just one more thing to make you go hmmmmm………

yeh, gotta agree with Chief there, checking the pics side by side (even though the ‘eggtown’ ones blurry) Alvarez has bushier eyebrows, his hair looks curlier and he looks more ‘ethnic’ than the other guy.

I could be wrong though, they do look very similar.

I could be wrong of course, but honestly, aside from facial hair, I’m not seeing similarities. Alverez looks hispanic, the guy at the court looks like a caucasion truck driver and they appear to have slightly different bone structure in the face. HOWEVER! why would they go through the trouble of making him say “we hate you” backwards? That’s too weird. I’d like to think there is a reason for everything in this show.

Regardless, good attention to detail there, you might be right too.

Dang. They DO look alike – right down to the button nose. You can see each here

I had trouble finding screenshots, which is partially why it took so long for me to post it.

The other reason is, sometimes these things are written off here as errors, and overinvestigating…but I am 99.999999 percent sure its the same guy.

It could be nothing…or it could be why Chang wanted the body.

Hey A.E.S. Great find. I hadn’t noticed that before. Do you have any screen shots?

It could be casting error, or it’s supposed to mean something.

There’s a similar case involving the woman who works at the airport: the one who let Hurley on the plane in Season One. This woman is the same woman who works at Oxford Uni when Desmond goes there to find Daniel Faraday’s mother in Season Five.

Definately the same woman, but with an Aussie accent in S1, and a British accent in S5.

Whether or not she’s important or they just decided to use the same actress for 2 different parts, I’m not sure.

But she seems to have a “big” speaking part in both scenes, so maybe she is important?

A.E.S: Great catch! I just compared pictures and it definitely looks like the same guy! I thought Alvarez looked a bit familiar but, I could never place from where.

Is there a way to post pictures on here to use as comparison? I’m a bit technically challenged when it comes to this stuff…

Hmmm… he was yelling “We hate you,” but backwards…

WOW! If you’re right and its the same guy (hopefully not a production error) thats nutty!

I was wondering about this guys relevance recently also and asked about it on here. By the way, what he says is indecipherable because its backwards,

when reversed he clearly yells ‘WE HATE YOU!’.

You’re talking about the guy with the beard in the crowd right?

If it is the same dude you’ve got a good eye, i would’ve never noticed that.

“take note, he died” was to be the first line in my comment…
