are you kidding? they look nothing alike. James looks like an intermediate between James Dean and Jeff Buckley.
Don’t know who Buckley is.
On his IMDB picture, Muni looks a little like Reagan.

Absolutely right about a young Ronald Reagan (partly because of the haircut).

You could do some research about his Panamanian mother. Contrarily to Jeremy Renner’s mother, who is white, I am not 100% sure she is fully European.
