Luckily once you really get to know who Mel Brooks, Garth Brooks and Mel Gibson are, then you'll never ever confuse them ever again. Three people who make up the points on a very large very spread apart triangle that is their names. :)
I used to confuse Nigel Hawthorne and Nathaniel Hawthorne all the time. It wasn't until I lost points on a quiz for saying that Nigel Hawthorne wrote The Scarlet Letter that I realized that they're names were different.
Gore Vidal and Vidal Sassoon.
