- Description
-
"Uncanny" is used in internet commentary to describe a resemblance or imitation that is so accurate it becomes almost unsettling or eerie. It is frequently applied to actors who perfectly mimic the voice, mannerisms, and physical appearance of a famous figure, often in the context of a biopic or impression. The term suggests a level of perfection that goes beyond a simple likeness, reaching a point where the viewer can hardly distinguish the imitation from the original. It is a high compliment for a performer's range and dedication to a role.
- Example

> The way he captures the voice and the look is uncanny; I thought I was watching the original footage.
> 2:22 in the trailer is actually uncanny, you can't tell me that isn't the real Stallone.
> It's uncanny how much this guy looks like Pacino in his other role, he's a chameleon.
