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

[-] ultranaut@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] hexthismess@hexbear.net 6 points 12 hours ago

Laurence Fishbourne will always be Morpheous to me

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours 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.

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

[-] Merlu@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 hours ago

For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.

[-] Bongles@lemmy.zip 7 points 18 hours ago

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

Wesley snipes is blade though.

[-] Carrolade@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

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

[-] hbar@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago

I always call him Agent Elf

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Steve Carell

[-] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 11 points 1 day ago

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

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 3 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 2 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] hbar@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 day ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[-] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day 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 16 points 1 day ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

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

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

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

Harry potter and the multiverse of madness

[-] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 day ago

Jason Alexander.

[-] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

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

[-] plyth@feddit.org 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

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

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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

[-] pipe01@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[-] Brad@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago

I never knew Freddie was a hacker...

[-] Sherad@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 day 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 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours 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 2 points 1 day ago

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

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

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

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago

Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.

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

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

[-] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 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

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

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Elijah Baggins

[-] Bonifratz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Same with Aragorn for me.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[-] scintilla@beehaw.org 6 points 1 day ago

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

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day 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

[-] paultimate14@lemmy.world 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.

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

[-] Romkslrqusz@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago
[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 23 hours ago

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