Today, Bleeding Cool revisited the time when Bryan Hitch made Nick Fury look like Samuel L Jackson in The Ultimates comic book, and made history, courtesy of an unaired clip from tomorrow's The Jonathan Ross Show where Bryan got to meet Sam for the first time.

But in the Bleeding Cool Facebook comments, we discovered what happened next.

Animation creator Steven E Gordon also known for X-Men: Evolution and Shrek 2 got in touch about his role on the animated adaptation of Bryan Hitch and Mark Millar's run on The Ultimates, released as Ultimate Avengers on DVD, and produced by Avi Arad.

That actor? Mission Impossible's Ving Rhames, who also starred alongside Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction.

Can you see the resemblance?

What could have been… of course, that's also true of this fellow as well…
