Going from just these few pictures I would say they definitely are very similar looking; from the shape of the head (even the placement and shape of the EARS) to the spacing of the eyes, nose, mouth, et cetera. As someone who spent countless hours making maps of human facial proportions for one of my classes, I would hope I know what I'm talking about...
Their noses look slightly different, if that's any consolation... XD
But my question is, why is that bad? Since these men are both influences on your character, wouldn't it be a good thing that they share a noticeable facial resemblance? Even if you didn't notice it; it only means you have a very clear idea of Cadmus in your head and were drawn to people that embodied his features.
I noticed the same thing with Mal and Patrick Wilson (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CeMBuGqR_44/SzE9fcu5h9I/AAAAAAAAA8Q/mbfnMLR10rk/s400/patrickuli22.JPG) when I was watching one of his movies and went, "Oops, looks like I subconsciously stole this guy's face for my character..." The same way that you were drawn to these two for the attitudes they embody in their work, I was unknowingly drawn to Wilson for the way he (usually) portrays naive, kindhearted people who get the emotional crap kicked out of them (a la, Mal)
Again, just curious why this connection seems to disturb you when as far as I can tell, you should be thrilled!
