With the announcement that actor Charlie Cox is playing the title role in the upcoming Netflix series “Marvel’s Daredevil” comes a multitude of questions. Specifically, isn’t Cox that guy who–
We’ll stop you there. He’s not that guy. He’s the other guy. To help you sort all this confusion out, here’s a handy guide to who Charlie Cox isn’t:
Hey, Isn’t He This Guy?
Castle Rock Entertainment
No, that’s Robert Sean Leonard. You’re probably confused because they look exactly the same, though Leonard is now much older than Cox (he’s pictured above in the 1998 movie “The Last Days of Disco”). You probably recognize Leonard from his role on “House,” or maybe the movies “Swing Kids” and “Dead Poets Society.” But, no, he’s not Charlie Cox.
Oh, So He’s This Guy Then
Wrong again! That’s Tom Welling, who played a young Superman for 10 seasons on “Smallville.” He’s definitely got that fresh-faced look, and played a superhero, so we understand your confusion.
Aha! This Is Definitely Him
Nope! That’s Nicholas D’Agosto, who plays Ethan on “Masters of Sex.” D’Agosto looks like Tom Welling and Robert Sean Leonard had a baby, so again, you’re on the right track. But that’s not our guy.
Is This…
20th Century FOX
That’s Brian Cox, who played William Stryker in “X2: X-Men United,” among many, many other roles. Yes, they have the same last name, but they’re not even related, let alone look alike. Seriously. Come on.
I Meant THIS Brian Cox
Sure, he does look more like the physicist named Brian Cox, but again, they’re not even related. It’s just a common last name. Can we move on?
Got It!
Ben Affleck? You think he’s Ben Affleck, just because Affleck played Matt Murdock/Daredevil on screen in 2003??? Even if Affleck wasn’t busy with his role as Bruce Wayne in “Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice,” we’d start to question your judgement here.
How About–

That’s Charlie, from the hilarious viral video “Charlie Bit My Finger.” Stop it.
Is He–
That’s a mashup of Charlie Sheen and Courtney Cox you made in a celebrity baby face generator.

YES! THAT’S Charlie Cox. Correct. 10 points for Hufflepuff. He previously appeared in the main role in “Stardust,” a recurring part on “Boardwalk Empire” and will have his biggest role to date as the Man Without Fear in “Daredevil.” Now try to picture his face covered in a mask except for his chin, because that’s mostly how you’ll be seeing Cox from now on.
“Marvel’s Daredevil” comes to Netflix in 2015.
