Eddie IzzardEddie IzzardTake one look and you see comedian Eddie Izzard.

But look a little closer and is it possible he could be Jack Bauer?

Seems Eddie's been causing something of a stir down Hollywood way of late.

La-la Land residents are getting all of a bother with the star - they keep on mistaking him for 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland.

Eddie told the Daily Express: "I get people coming up to me thinking I'm Kiefer."

At first glance, the resemblance ain't exactly glaring.

After all, Eddie's a ginger, sometimes cross-dressing comic genius, while Kiefer's alter ego lies in the gun-toting territory of a tortured action hero.

Plus, Eddie's a bit of a star in his own right in the States now, thanks to his role as a conman in hit drama, The Riches.

As Eddie himself says: "When I explain I'm not (Kiefer Sutherland), they say 'Well you look like him.' I say 'No he looks like me.'"

That's the spirit, Ed.
