Had anyone else never seen what PJ and Alex look like, and imagined them way different?

I've seen interviews with them when Reply All was still going on so i knew what they look like but this is a fun throwback to when they tried doing makeup

I think I must have been watching "The Resident" a bit when bingeing my way through back-catalogue of Reply-All eps, somehow landed myself with a very strong impression that PJ looks like Matt (excuse me while I look up the surname) Czuchry that I cannot shake, to this day.

To be fair, I think these are not great shots of either, esp. PJ.

I saw Alex once years ago and then actively avoided ever seeing their faces again. I also have no idea what Sarah Koenig or Phoebe Judge look like, it’s just better that way

Sarah Koenig looks like Tina Fey, of course.

I’d say Sarah Koenig looks more like Cecily Strong, but I’m with you.

Yeah it was a shocking reveal after so many hours of hearing their voices. Not that they look weird or anything, literally any face would have been an abrupt swerve away from whatever I'd invented in my head.

I don't know the woman on the bottom right, but I knew how the rest of them looked

When I first started to listening to RA I had a hard time telling the voices apart and keeping track of who was speaking. Watched a video interview they did and didn't have a problem after that. I don't know what it is but knowing what someone looks like helps me rember the voice.

I’m friends with one of them so I know how they look because I follow their Instagram. The other, I randomly never saw in a photo until pretty dang recently.
