Are Rob Delaney and Benjamin Ayres the Same Person?

My wife and I either stumbled on an illuminati-level conspiracy or a true "duh" moment this morning.

She was watching a Hallmark move and I said "hey, that's the Catastrophe guy." She told me no, he's not in the credits, etc.

It has to be the same guy, but they have separate IMDB. same date of birth, but different cities. I'm 4-5 pages into Google and not finding anything.

Feel free to reply "no shit. Where have you been? Everyone knows that."

But it's really spooky if you watch their expressions, mannerisms, etc. They even sound very similar.

Maybe "Dad" Delaney / Ayres has some 'splaining to do.

But the resemblance and identical birthdate is bizarre.

I smell an episode of “Long-Lost Family, Quasi-celebrity Edition”...
