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.

Jeff Bridges will always be The Dude.

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

[–] rokae@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] DatBoomerGirl@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 days ago

Damm I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.

Jamie Hector for me will always be Marlo Stanfield and it scares the hell out of me

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

[–] hbar@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

I always call him Agent Elf

[–] hbar@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 week ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago

He took the money from that franchise and went wild with it, doing whatever crazy ass roles he wants and it's so good to see. Not to mention how incredibly outspoken he's been about trans rights and JKR's bigotry.

[–] JustinTheGM@ttrpg.network 18 points 1 week ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

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.

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

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

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 13 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

Jason Alexander.

Laurence Fishbourne will always be Morpheous to me

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week 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

[–] Bongles@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Wesley snipes is blade though.

[–] snailboy@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

β€œThere’s only one Blade. Only ever gonna be one Blade.”

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

[–] Sherad@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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 πŸ˜†

[–] DornerStan@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 week ago

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

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

[–] scintilla@beehaw.org 6 points 1 week ago

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

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days 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

[–] Merlu@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.
