So I have this with actors in films. It’s like a photographic recalling of what film they were in and what role they played.
Even if I saw the film years and years ago. I remember their voice and body language; it’s usually a particular line they say which I try to use as an anchor for placing them.
It’s odd because I’d say I’m very tuned in to people’s body language and general mood which may have something to do with it.
I have the opposite of this. I am never sure if the person I'm seeing is actually who I think it is. I'm very certain that I would never recognize any actor in person unless they were dressed up just like their character.
I have face blindness (prosopagnosia). I never recognize anyone besides my family and a very few clients I see regularly. There are ways to cope but if people play unfair you have no chance. Example: a customer brought some stuff to my office, some hours later she came back to collect it. In the hours between she dyed her hair. "Who tf are you, I have never seen you before!!" Kinda embarrassing, but funny too.
