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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

I always call him Agent Elf

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

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] 15 points 1 week ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

Elijah Baggins

He's more versatile in my opinion. Watch The Road! Then get impressed and depressed

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

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

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

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

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

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

I never knew Freddie was a hacker...

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

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Jason Alexander.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week 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] 9 points 1 week ago

Laurence Fishbourne will always be Morpheous to me

[–] Mugmoor 8 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 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

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

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

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

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

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Christian Bale, Patrick Bateman.

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

For me, he'll always be Bruce Wayne.

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

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

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

Jeff Bridges will always be The Dude.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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.

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

Heath Ledger will always be the Joker.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He's blond! He's pissed! He'll see you in the lists!

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

Gah, what a great movie for a myriad of great actors. Prequels to Wash (Tudyk), King Baratheon (Addy), and Vision (Bettany)

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

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

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

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

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] 2 points 1 week ago

the matrix mr smith guy. no matter what he's in, i only see agent smith.
