Seeing Double: Celebrity Doppelgangers

These actors bear a striking resemblance to each other. Take a closer look at some of Hollywood&#39;s doppelgangers.

George A. Perantoni (U.S. Army, retired) is the son of Victor Perantoni, the main protagonist in "The War of Lions" film script. Victor's father (George's grandfather) is also a main character of George's true family story titled "Arrivederci Leopolis" from which "The War of Lions" was adapted.

At the age of 1 yr, George was taken to grow up in Australia where his family had migrated in 1950 due to the awful economic conditions and communist interference in post-war Italy. For these reasons, Victor wanted to take his young family as far as possible from what he considered a "war-torn disastrous Europe." Thus, George grew up as an Aussie kid for the first ten years of his life.

Later, George's early teen years were on Lake Garda in northern Italy (1960-1964). Then, off to the U.S.A. In 1968, George served in the U.S. Army on tour with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment in Germany, on the Czechoslovakian border. Afterward, he earned a college degree at the University of Wisconsin and returned to the military as a U.S. Army Engineer officer.

Today, George Perantoni is 76 years old, living in Orlando, Florida where he is writing a sequel to his film script about WWII/EU.
