This whole time I thought Oscar was just Dave using a pseudonym like the authors do.

That would be face-right, not -wright.

A wright is someone who makes something. A playwright creates plays, a boatwright helps build boats, a shipwright helps build ships, and so on. The word "wright" is related to the word "work". (It's not related to "write", though: originally, "write" meant "to scratch".)

"Copyright", the word you're using as a model, is the right to make copies. If you own the copyright of a work, then you have the right to make copies of it, for publication or whatever other reason; if you don't own the copyright, then by and large you don't have that right. If there were such a thing as "faceright", it'd be the right to possess a particular face.

I thought he WAS David Kruholtz until right now on the golden globes when they called him Oscar Isaac, lol. All the previews I've seen for the movie, and I even saw like a half-hour "making of" on HBO where they mentioned Oscar Isaac...I just figured that was someone else in the cast. Too funny...

Oscar Isaac, Dave Krumholtz, and Jake Johnson should play brothers in a movie. The three of them basically have the same face. I think Oscar Isaac is the best actor from what I've seen of them all so far though.

I THOUGHT DAVID KRUMHOLTZ WAS IN INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. Mind blown.

I'm just watching the movie and also thought that Krumholz was the actor, but I wasn't totally sure so I went to IMDB & lo & behold I find it is a lookalike named Oscar Isaac!

Also, Elyes Gabel, the guy in CBS' SCORPION.

Dave Krumholz is a facially damaged version of Oscar Isaac.
