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

[-] hbar@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 month ago

I always call him Agent Elf

[-] hbar@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 month ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

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

[-] JustinTheGM@ttrpg.network 19 points 1 month ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[-] meyotch@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 month ago

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

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

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

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Elijah Baggins

He's more versatile in my opinion. Watch The Road! Then get impressed and depressed

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

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

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

Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 9 points 1 month ago

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 7 points 1 month ago

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[-] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 13 points 1 month ago

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

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

Jason Alexander.

[-] pipe01@programming.dev 13 points 1 month ago

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[-] Brad@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

I never knew Freddie was a hacker...

[-] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

I liked Bradley Cooper but after watching American Sniper I can't see his face anymore without seeing the smug visage of imperialist murder.

[-] hexthismess@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Laurence Fishbourne will always be Morpheous to me

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I like how Robert Pattinson has done quite a few weird roles that Twilight isn't always the first thing I think of with him lol

[-] Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Sherad@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 month ago

Tom Cruise is just Tom Cruise to me, I never feel like he disappears into any kind of role - he's just Tom Cruise pretending to be someone else who happens to look and act similarly to Tom Cruise.

With one exception, that being Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder 😆

[-] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Magnolia is probably his best performance, but hard to say how much of that is him disappearing into the role versus the role giving us a peek behind the mask lol

[-] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!

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

[-] Merlu@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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

[-] Bongles@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

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

Wesley snipes is blade though.

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

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

[-] Merlu@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month 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

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

Jeff Bridges will always be The Dude.

[-] Noerknhar@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago

Heath Ledger will always be the Joker.

[-] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein

[-] Strider@thelemmy.club 11 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

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

[-] rokae@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

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

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.
