To be honest... this a rhetorical question that really has no answers. We are just so used to seeing an actor in a certain role, or it made such an impact, that we can't imagine anyone else in that role, but if a different actor had originated the role, we would probably think the exact same thing about them.

Ok, back to the light-hearted thread where you were just having fun... :D

Thats why I chose Kilmer as Morrison because he had the look and he sang most of the songs. I don't think most actors could have pulled it off. But I know where your coming from

Can we rename this thread "Actors and the Parts they have Played?"

About two or three pages in it lost all cogency.

Agreed completely. I came in late, made it through the first five pages or so (and about 34 Buttmunch posts) and lost interest completely. The thread should be called "Any role you really enjoyed in any movie...and oh yeah, name the actor who played them"

Anywhoo, I will vote for Zoe Bell in Death Proof. She is a hot and amazingly talented stuntwoman, playing a hot and extremely talented stuntwoman. The movie would have pretty much stunk had it not been for Zoe and the final chase.

Arnold Schwarzenegger as Conan

Agreed 100%.One of my all time favorite movies.There is no one else on Earth who could pull off that role as well as he did.(although I am sure that his muscle bound physique helped clinch him for the part).

[Darth Cruel]

I really can't think of any myself, right now. But there is not a lot of imagination at work in this thread. Mostly it is roles that have already been done.

What actors/roles come to your minds that have not yet happened.

Oh, and Timothy Dalton as Tony Stark?

Not.

Seriously, though, I suppose it depends on how you percieve the character. I had a different personality in mind for Tony Stark before RDJr. did him and I thought he did it as well as it can be done.

I am also not a fan of Timothy Dalton's acting. It reminds me too much of the over dramatizing that used to be necessary to project the emotion back when movies were siltent.

[A.L.I.E.N]

Ray Liotta as Henry in Goodfellas

Joe Pesci as Tommy!

Legend film!

[karamazov80]

As a kid, I always imagined Dalton as voicing Stark when I read the comics. In fact, I think a lot of the guys in the 80s who worked on Iron Man must have used him as template for their artwork (I remember one old TPB I had where it was definitely Dalton as Stark on the cover).

He had the look and the mannerisms. "Over-dramatizing"? Do you think of Stark as some subdued, introverted hero like Batman in his private moments? No, he's a boozing, womanizing ego-maniac. Dalton would have done a fine job, though obviously Downey did, as well.

Absolutely not. But that is not what I meant. To me, when I look at actors in movies, sometimes I see actors who are trying to be a character, and sometimes I see actors who just are the character. And Timothy Dalton's acting, to me, is forced and he might "get into" character, be he doesn't really "become" the character.

Some other examples of this are SLJ as Mace Windu, Arnold Schwazenneger in any movie he has every done, and Sylvester Stallone in any movie he has ever done.

Moe Howard as Hitler: :D

On a more serious note I would say Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes.

[karamazov80]

I can understand that, though that kind of gets to my point that I personally feel Dalton was "born to play" Stark. Yeah, he acts pretty much the same in all of his roles, but to me, that one role he plays is Tony Stark (if he had an American accent, of course). Similarly, Paxton seems, to me, to really be Hudson deep down. He can hide it, and he has changed a bit as he got older, but deep down inside I still think of him as being Paxton at the core, in Frailty, Twister, Big Love, etc.

"Game over, man. Game over!"

Wow...Ray Park - Darth Maul :D :maul

I can see Hudson as being Bill Paxton's. I am OK with most of Bill Paxton's stuff (I thought I was the only one who liked "Big Love", how can a guy lose when he has three wives sitting at the kitchen table setting up a schedule of what night each one gets to sleep with him).

Sam Neil as Allan Grant.
Harrison Ford as Indy and Han Solo.
Weaver as Ripley.
Arnold as the Terminator.
Heath Ledger as the Joker.

Kevin Peter Hall as the main predators from the first two movies.
Vin Diesel as Riddick.
Robert Englund as Freddy Kruger.

Theres thousands... I guess if a movie ended up good with a likeable character list they were all born to play that role since it would be difficult to imagine anyone else after viewing the movie.
