For me, Daniel Radcliffe will always be Harry Potter.

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

Wesley snipes is blade though.

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

[–] hbar@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 hours ago

I always call him Agent Elf

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

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 2 points 1 hour ago

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

Sorry Aubrey Plaza, you will forever be an intern

[–] selokichtli@lemmy.ml 9 points 9 hours ago

Jason Alexander.

[–] hbar@lemmy.ml 18 points 11 hours ago

Vince Vaughn as Vince Vaughn in everything.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours 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

[–] JustinTheGM@ttrpg.network 8 points 10 hours ago

Don't forget Swiss Army Man!

[–] meyotch@slrpnk.net 4 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 11 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Niel Patrick Harris will always be Barney Stinson.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 5 points 8 hours ago

No, he is Dr Doogie Howser!

[–] Kennystillalive@feddit.org 5 points 11 hours ago

Honorable Mention: Morgan Freeman is God.

[–] pipe01@programming.dev 7 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Rami Malek will always be a hacker

[–] Brad@beehaw.org 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

He was ridiculously amazing as Freddie Mercury.

[–] kurcatovium@piefed.social 2 points 1 hour ago

I never knew Freddie was a hacker...

[–] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

Ryan Reynolds will always be Ryan Reynolds

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Elijah Baggins

[–] Bonifratz@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 hours ago

Same with Aragorn for me.

[–] scintilla@beehaw.org 4 points 11 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 11 hours ago (1 children)

Linda Cardinelli is always Lindsay Weir.

[–] Romkslrqusz@lemmy.zip 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] paultimate14@lemmy.world 1 points 8 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.

[–] Noerknhar@feddit.org 2 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Heath Ledger will always be the Joker.

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 18 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I think you mean Sir Ulrich von Lichtenstein

[–] Strider@thelemmy.club 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 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 11 hours ago

McAdams as Regina

Seyfried as Karen
