Oliver Stone's biopic W about President George W. Bush added a couple more cast members with the additions of Thandie Newton and Ioan Gruffudd. Gruffudd is set to play British Prime Minister Tony Blair, but Newton's role is a little more curious.

She's set to play National Security Advisor/Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. At first, I was taken aback by that casting because I've always found Thandie to be a beautiful actress and I've never thought of Condoleezza in those terms.

But when I put them side-by-side for comparison's sake (right), I started to see a resemblance. It seems that Thandie is a wise choice for the role.

W is set to begin filming any day now.
