But this time, it’s another (somewhat) famous face: Ray Nicholson, the 25-year-old son of iconic actor and fellow _Departed_ star [Jack Nicholson](http://time.com/102689/jack-nicholson-snubs-fan-at-clippers-game/). In the past, DiCaprio’s lookalikes have ranged from an Olympic [medal-winning archer](http://time.com/4443005/rio-2016-olympics-leonardo-dicaprio-brady-ellison/) to a [Russian vodka ambassador](http://time.com/4397222/leonardo-dicaprios-doppelganger-lookalike/?iid=sr-link3) to this [young Swedish bartender](http://time.com/4096055/leonardo-dicaprio-doppelganger-konrad-annerud-sweden/?iid=sr-link2). Meanwhile, the younger Nicholson’s current claim to fame, aside from being his father’s son, is as a [fellow actor and assistant director](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2200658/). He also appears to be a committed Lakers fan, with ample photo evidence of him popping up court side at games, often alongside his dad. The resemblance between Leo and Ray is hard to deny: over the years, Ray has rocked flowing Leo-style locks and a number of hats that we’d hazard to guess DiCaprio would approve of, given his [penchant for the accessory](https://www.buzzfeed.com/mjkiebus/leo-likes-hats?utm%5Fterm=.gs1JLgyZaY#.pwVapo1Ln8). Ray also shares Leo’s insouciant grin and deep-set, piercing eyes. Add a little scruff—as seen in the most recent snap—and he’s a Leo double; peruse the gallery above to judge for yourself. It’s previously [also been noted](http://people.com/movies/jack-nicholsons-son-ray-nicholson-looks-like-his-twin-photo/) that Ray looks quite a bit like his dad in his earlier years. Which begs the question: is _Leo_ actually Jack Nicholson’s celebrity lookalike? Sharing physical traits certainly hasn’t held back either actor from ascending to Hollywood’s upper echelons, in any case. Maybe Ray will be next.  Kevork S.
