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

Prince will always be the guy in "Under the Cherry Moon"

I don't care how good his other work is, it was too much

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

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

Daniel Radcliffe.

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

Jaleel White is forever Steve Urklel.

Alfonso Ribeiro is Carlton.

Claire Foy as Lady Percy in the Upstairs, Downstairs reboot. Seeing her play the queen just felt so wrong, lol.

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)

Joe Rogan is Joe Garrelli in News Radio

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

I like to remember him in that role as it was when I liked him as a person and a professional.

Machlenny, Glenn, Kaitlyn from isaip, they just aren't good outside of the show. Also rob is pretentious as fuck. Typecasting is pretty much a curse for people like these

Ryan Reynolds Van Wilder

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

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

Idris Elba

Nah. He can only be Luthor.
