I never watched an X-men, nor the old Dune, so for me Patrick Stewart is Jean-Luc Picard.

Agree! When I see him in other things I'm like "oh hai Picard"

Jason Alexander is cemented in my memory as George Costanza.

[-] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock in the early Startrek films and series.

Same for Brent Spiner as Data.

Lucy Lawless will forever be Xena the Warrior Princess.

[-] Findus_Falke@feddit.org 3 points 1 week ago

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

[-] mintiefresh@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Jaleel White is forever Steve Urklel.

Alfonso Ribeiro is Carlton.

Sarah Michelle Gellar will always be Buffy Summers to me.

[-] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I somehow missed Buffy growing up, so my first exposure was of her as Daphne in the Scooby Doo movie.

I think now that I've watched a lot of Buffy, those two balance out for me.

Daniel Radcliffe.

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

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

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

Ryan Reynolds Van Wilder

[-] Suck_on_my_Presence@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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.

Surely you meant Darryl Dixon?

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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)

[-] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago

Sarah Jessica Parker is Carrie Bradshaw.

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Roger Moore as Bond - he wasn't the best Bond, just that he played that character for like 30 years, starting with The Saint in the 60's.

Once you see him there, it's hard to see him as anything else.

david thewlis' role in fargo! /season 3, just so good!

[-] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Young Guns will forever in my head have Jack Bauer in a leading role.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

You mean Lost Boys vampire gang leader David?

[-] Hackworth@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago

Joe Rogan is Joe Garrelli in News Radio

Dude, Walter, Donnie and the Jesus from The Big Lebowski. Whenever I see Turturro play any other role, he's so bland and normal.

[-] Nusm@piefed.zip 0 points 1 week ago

For me Turturro will always be Pete from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.

“Do not… seek… the treasure.”

[-] bizarroland@fedia.io 2 points 1 week ago

I think if you watch Severance, he does a really good job of changing your perspective, because I had the same feeling going into Severance, and now I feel different.

[-] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Roland T. Flakfizer is ballet.

[-] Fletcher@lemmy.today 0 points 1 week ago

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