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.
Steve Carell
Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.
For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.
Adult Danielle Radcliffe I don't really think "that's Harry Potter". Probably because the beard.
Wesley snipes is blade though.
Even when I see Elrond in LotR, that's actually just Agent Smith in a funny costume.
I always call him Agent Elf
Seeing Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park, wondering why Newman is there
What about 3rd Rock From The Sun? I think Newman fits in quite well there too.
It was a bit odd seeing him try to defuse a bomb in Die Hard With a Vengeance.
Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.
Jason Alexander.
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
Don't forget Swiss Army Man!
In all those subsequent roles, I imagine they are all the same universe and Harryβs life just got really random.
Harry potter and the multiverse of madness
Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern
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 π
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
First, take a big step back... and literally, FUCK YOUR OWN FACE!
The same for me, but with Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never see him disappear into a role for some reason.
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
Rami Malek will always be a hacker
He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.
I never knew Freddie was a hacker...
Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.
No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!
Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.
Frodo, even if I was impressed in the movie Hooligan.
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.
Elijah Baggins
Same with Aragorn for me.
Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds
RDJ just is iron man at this point. I saw him in Oppenheimer and was genuinely distracted by it.
Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.
That whole cast really
Yeah, Seth Rogan, too. Jason Segel has broken that mold, though, at least to me. And so has James Franco.
The voice actor for Marvi HΓ€mmer
Heath Ledger will always be the Joker.
I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein
He's blond! He's pissed! He'll see you in the lists!
Gah, what a great movie for a myriad of great actors. Prequels to Wash (Tudyk), King Baratheon (Addy), and Vision (Bettany)
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.
McAdams as Regina
Seyfried as Karen
