N'Kara and her clone

It says in the cast list that both parts (N'Kara and Ildico) were played by Simmone Mackinnon... but I didn't think they looked that much alike! o.o Also, why were they (apparently) identical? They were not related in any way... it's just not plausible...

It was obvious to me. How could there be two actresses who looked so much alike, without being the same person?

i thought they looked exactly alike

Why don’t ya’ll just go back to your *own* cabin, if you want to play with C.W.

N'Kara and Ildico are played by the same actress. And her name is Simmone Mackinnon. That's it ;)

They are identical.

In the movie, the 2 women looks similar but are not exactly alike. Flavius Aetius in the movie comes up with the sceme that he'll make Ildico look more and more like N'Kara so she can get close enough to Attila and then kill him. All you need to do is find someone with similar features to N'Kara and change her hair color and style and use a little make-up and it's not that hard to make Ildico looks like N'Kara.

I thought it was pretty lame to use the same actress for two different characters. Especially since it was so obvious it was the same girl.

They're supposed to look like it's the same girl, otherwise she couldn't have reminded Attila of N'Kara.

Ildico's eyebrows were thinner and she used makeup, also she had no scar on her forehead. I thought it was awesome how she looked so similar and yet like a different person, great acting really, to play two different people in the same movie. Like Leo DiCaprio in The Man in the Iron Mask and a realllly good one, Micheal Shanks in Lifeboat episode of Stargate SG-1 where he switches about seven characters in one hour, some in the same scene.

Wouldn't know about Stargate SG-1, as I've never seen it, but I agree about Leo. That movie rocked.

I wonder how did they come up with the name N'Kara in the frist place. Attila's first (and favourite) wife's name was Arikan in Turkish and Réka in Hungarian. None of them resembles N'Kara...

I hope you aren't as retarded now as you were 9 years ago.
