For me, it's David Tennant as The Doctor. It was very strange seeing him in Good Omens.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.social 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Norman Reedus with forever have "and the funky fetus" after his name because of Death Stranding.

For me he's always gonna be a Boondock Saint.

Danny Trejo is of course Machete (or Uncle Machete to the Spy Kids) - even if he does occasionally rangle Rancors or other roles.

(But only when I can see him. I had no idea he had that many voice roles until looking him up just now)

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Daniel Radcliffe.

After seeing Swiss Army Man, I can never not see him as a useful corpse. He nailed that role.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 8 points 6 days ago

Sarah Jessica Parker is Carrie Bradshaw.

[–] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

Everyone from the Friends cast

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Prince will always be, for me, the guy who played Prince in Purple Rain.

[–] Zatore@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 days ago

Prince will always be the guy in "Under the Cherry Moon"

I don't care how good his other work is, it was too much

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Idris Elba and Dominic West will always be Stringer Bell and Jimmy McNulty for me.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Idris Elba

Nah. He can only be Luthor.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Easy... Arnold as Terminator.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Peter Lustig. But he also played himself and had full power over his show.

Martin Freeman as Bilbo

Til Schweiger as his arrogant asshole self

[–] Fletcher@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Ian McKellan is Gandalf, and I will fight anyone to the death who disagrees.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 points 6 days ago (2 children)
[–] Fletcher@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

While he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.

Joe Rogan is Joe Garrelli in News Radio

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago

I like to remember him in that role as it was when I liked him as a person and a professional.

Ryan Reynolds Van Wilder

[–] palordrolap@fedia.io 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Kind of obscure, but Brits of a certain age will always think of Alan Dale as "Jim from Neighbours". Another one being Guy Pearce as "Mike from Neighbours". Pearce has had a slightly bigger career than Dale maybe, but you've almost certainly seen them both in popular movies and TV shows.
