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

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.

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.

Laurence Fishbourne will always be Morpheous to me

Steve Carell

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours 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

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.

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

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

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˜†

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 18 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

The same for me, but with Leonardo DiCaprio. I can never see him disappear into a role for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

The voice actor for Marvi HΓ€mmer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I always call him Agent Elf

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Jason Alexander.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I never knew Freddie was a hacker...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

McAdams as Regina

Seyfried as Karen

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (2 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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Harry potter and the multiverse of madness
