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

[–] hbar@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 hours ago

I always call him Agent Elf

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

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 8 points 6 hours ago

Jason Alexander.

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

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!

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago

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

Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 3 points 6 hours ago

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[–] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, and Daniel Craig as James Bond.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Frodo, even if I was impressed in the movie Hooligan.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Elijah Baggins

[–] Bonifratz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 hours ago

Same with Aragorn for me.

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[–] Brad@beehaw.org 2 points 6 hours ago

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours 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.

[–] scintilla@beehaw.org 3 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Noerknhar@feddit.org 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Heath Ledger will always be the Joker.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 18 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein

[–] Strider@thelemmy.club 8 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] hddsx@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago

McAdams as Regina

Seyfried as Karen
