Someone please explain this.

What the actual fuck?

Sure, no problem. The person you are referring to in the image from the Harry Potter film series is actor Timothy Spall. Jeff Gerstmann is a video game person. The similarities in their appearances are purely coincidental. They are, in fact, two separate human beings. Hope this clears up your confusion!

Timothy Spall being perhaps, definitely, 100-fucking-percent most famous for his role of Barry in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

Can't tell if serious.

Boom.

Duder, you didn't know? "J.K. Rowling" stands for "Jeff Kgerstmann Rowling". He wrote Harry Potter. He then appeared in the films.

Weirdly, he didn't play Pettigrew. He was actually Gringotts Goblin #12.

You were super duper bored weren't you.

I see people all the time that look like Jeff. It freaks me out for a second till I remember the odds of him being in southern Texas is low

There's already a staff doppelganger thread. I'd link to it but I'm on a tablet.

omg !!!!

Aye.

Guys I heard Jeff Gerstmann of Giant Bomb was in Harry Potter is this true???

Timothy Spall is actually Jeff Gerstmann's British alias identity.

Bad joke is bad....

Next you're going to tell me that Drew played Ben Walton on "The Waltons" before dyeing his hair and moving to San Francisco...

...wait.

Actually, Harry Potter is based on Jeff's adventures as a child. True story.

I mean, he doesn't exactly hide the British accent.

Glad to know that I'm not the only person who thinks of Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet when it comes to Timothy Spall.

Nope don't see the resemblance.

God damn muggle conspiracy bullshit. What's the simpler answer, that two different people exist who just happen to look 100% alike without any difference at all? Or that Jeff is a powerful wizard?

The wizard one.

I'd say go to the doppleganger thread, but this isn't a doppleganger.

Have you ever seen Jeff Gerstmann and Timothy Spall in the same place at the same time?

Cake Bosh (cake bosh) knows what he's talking about.

I will sign on to this Drew is secretly a child star actor thing instantly.

Pretty sure drew is at least part Michael C hall

You're a wizard Jeffry!

Sure, Jeff is the famous character actor (in more than just Harry Potter). We'll go with that.

Let's not.
