The entire cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Danny Devito may have decades of work under his belt, but he'll always be Frank Reynolds to me.

That Blackberry movie that Glenn Howerton was in was decent, but I could not take Bald Dennis seriously.

Jamie Hector for me will always be Marlo Stanfield and it scares the hell out of me

Kevin Spacey will always be Kevin Spacey. I can't watch him act and see anything else but Kevin Spacey.

Personally, i can't dissociate him from Frank Underwood.

A lot, but ones that stand up mostly (except few Polish ones which i won't mention because you wouldn't recognize them anyway) are Sean Connery as Marko Ramius, Patrick Stewart as Jean-Luc Picard and Tom Cruise as piece of wood.

Even when I see Elrond in LotR, that's actually just Agent Smith in a funny costume.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

I always call him Agent Elf

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

after watching american psycho you start expecting christian bale to start saying some weird shit or murdering people horribly in any movie hes in

For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Adult Danielle Radcliffe I don't really think "that's Harry Potter". Probably because the beard.

Wesley snipes is blade though.

Seeing Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park, wondering why Newman is there

[–] lobut 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about 3rd Rock From The Sun? I think Newman fits in quite well there too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It was a bit odd seeing him try to defuse a bomb in Die Hard With a Vengeance.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Steve Carell

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

After Miracle Workers, Guns Akimbo and especially Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, Daniel Radcliffe is so much more than Harry Potter to me. He's got this almost Nicolas Cage-y vibe now

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In all those subsequent roles, I imagine they are all the same universe and Harry’s life just got really random.

Harry potter and the multiverse of madness

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Frodo, even if I was impressed in the movie Hooligan.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

In the last witch hunter, I predicted his character arc almost on sight. That resulted in me making a bunch of jokes to my girlfriend. "Who could do something like that?" "Elijah would" "i wonder who would have the motive?" "Elijah would"

Fuckin great

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't even call him by his government name, lol.

Elijah Baggins

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Same with Aragorn for me.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and Daniel Craig as James Bond.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

That's strange because even in his James Bond movies I think blond, not Bond.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

He will always be a dude playing another dude, disguised as another dude, to me

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I never knew Freddie was a hacker...

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Jason Alexander.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

RDJ just is iron man at this point. I saw him in Oppenheimer and was genuinely distracted by it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I can't hear Richard Horvitz without thinking of Invader Zim. He does a ton of random voices in the more recent Ratchet and Clank games and it's very distracting.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, Seth Rogan, too. Jason Segel has broken that mold, though, at least to me. And so has James Franco.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Heath Ledger will always be the Joker.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's blond! He's pissed! He'll see you in the lists!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Gah, what a great movie for a myriad of great actors. Prequels to Wash (Tudyk), King Baratheon (Addy), and Vision (Bettany)

[–] hddsx 1 points 1 day ago

McAdams as Regina

Seyfried as Karen
