Bill Murray will always be Peter Venkman to me. Any other movie with him just feels like Venkman doing some community theater to pay the bills

As a Pokemon fan, Ryan Reynolds is Detective Pikachu. All his other stuff is just him played by 5 pikachus in a trenchcoat (actual fact).

Adam Sandler will always be his early roles to me. Sure he was good in the remake of "The Longest Mile" but his early roles are so much more memorable because his characters were mostly stupid people. :P

Hugo Weaving and Agent Smith.

I met him once when I was quite young (he was in New Zealand to film the Lord of the Rings) and was kind of scared to meet him because to me he was Agent Smith. (And seeing Agent Smith speaking in an Australian accent was also strange and reality-shattering for me.)

It's hard imagining Christopher Lee as anything but Count Dooku, as insulting as that is to his previous career as Dracula

The people who do the work don't like being stuck into any one role. The dreaded typecast makes it more likely their career in that field will end or be greatly diminished if they can't be given any other work and if what they did stops being lucrative or relevant.

I can separate all actors from all the roles they play


Because unlike some people, i understand that actors are playing a role and that actors can play more than one role.

Good day,
for me, it's less about the actors' faces (sure, Patrick Steward is always Captain Picard, but also Professor X and Gurney Halleck and whoever else), but about the voices.
James Earl Jones' deep, rumbling voice will always be Mufasa to me - okay, he might be a bad example, for he is also Darth Vader. Vic Mignogna, Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, is a better example. Sure, he was also Greece in Hetalia and God knows how many other roles, but his voice will always be connected to an alchemist, who you shouldn't call short.

mfg,
Selks
I play PT, MT and a bit FT. I am into character-RPs.
My people are called the Selkie, the nation is usually called the Free Lands in MT-settings. Thanks.

I guess childhood plays a huge role here. Internationally, Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker/Spiderman, Hugh Jackman as wolverine along with Patrick Stewart as Professor X. Them portraying their respective roles are just forever ingrained in me.

Here, locally, Angel Locsin as Darna.
