Mr. T will always be Mr. T from the A-Team to me.

The character is "b. a. baracus" lol but I get what you mean.

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

I always call him Agent Elf

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

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[–] [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.

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 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

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

For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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

Harry potter and the multiverse of madness

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day 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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

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

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days 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] 9 points 2 days ago

Jason Alexander.

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

Steve Carell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

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