Actors that you only fancy in one role

[mamaduckbone]

I'll start...
Cillian Murphy only as Tommy Shelby
Viggo Mortensen only as Aragorn.

I know it's been done before but it's Sunday evening and I'm bored!

@CathyorClaire

Another vote for Philip Glenister and Gene Hunt.

I can see there's going to be a scrap out back for him.

I'll pass on that one

[SusannaMorvern]

Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow 😁

[PenisBeakerIsMyFavouriteMuppet]

Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker.

[janlevinson]

Hugh Laurie in House

[RubyFakeLips]

Another one for Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby

James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano
Bill Hader as Barry

In reverse, I would say Idris Elba in anything except Luther

[SquigglePigs]

@livingonaprairie

Same for Viggo, God I love him as Aragorn but not in anything else!

Agreed! And on a similar theme - Orlando Bloom as Legolas.

[musicinspring1]

Ian Somerhalder as Damon Salvatore. He just didn’t have the same appeal in Lost or The V Wars

[MaidofKent78]

@WellTidy

How could I forget? Damien Lewis as Brodie in Homeland.

No! Damian Lewis was also fantastic in Band of Brothers. Definitely not a One Hit Wonder.

[Afonavon]

Agree with,

David Tennant as Dr Who
Viggo as Aragon (swoon!)
Andrew Scott as Hot Priest (though he is beautiful, but not fanciable in anything else)
Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder II

[Echobelly]

I slightly fancy Rowan Atkinson in Blackadder II.

[AgeLikeWine]

Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt in Rush. He isn’t really my type in his other roles, but with long hair & that perfect public school accent, oh yes....[ wink]

[intheenddoesitreallymatter]

Joe Mazzello as Eugene Sledge in the Pacific
Timothee Chalamet as Laurie in Little Women
Phillip Glennister as Gene Hunt but only in Ashes to Ashes
Richard Gere as Zack Mayo in an officer and a gentleman
Tom Cruise in Top Gun

[Vanillarose1]

David Duchovny as Fox Mulder.

[comfortablyNumb2021]

@TooMinty

Hugh Laurie as House

Oh yes please.

[intheenddoesitreallymatter]

@CathyorClaire

Another vote for Philip Glenister and Gene Hunt.

I can see there's going to be a scrap out back for him.

Step aside, my love, it is a fight I unfortunately cannot allow you to win ;)

[GnomeOrMistAndIceGuy]

@PenisBeakerIsMyFavouriteMuppet Yes yes yes completely agree!

Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal

[TheWashingFairyatemyhamster]

Adam Scott as Ben Wyatt (Parks and Rec).

[Boboparadise]

Also Cillian Murphy in "The Wind that Shakes the Barley" Damien O'Donnell I'm sure was his character name

[AlexCabot]

Raul Esparza but only as Rafael Barba.

[Boboparadise]

@LeviAckerman

Tom Hiddleston as Loki

Lol. Now that's a great and strange one

[DisappearingGirl]

EarringsandLipstick

Andrew Scott as the Hot Priest in Fleabag

He's lovely in a really charming Irish film called Handsome Devil too.

Ooh I might have to check that out

[AnneShirleysNewDress]

Russell Crowe in Gladiator
Matt Smith in The Crown
Viggo Mortenson in LOTR
Gerard Butler in 300

[APJ1]

Ooh, I think Hugh Laurie in House is the ultimate example!

[0blio]

Charlie Hunnam as Jax Teller in Sons of Anarchy

And yes to Rege-Jean, it's the characters that hold the appeal isn't it?

[eddiemairswife]

I would have said Lawrence Fox as Hathaway, but his recent rantings have put me off. I wonder if he is going through the Male Menopause.
