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!

Can't believe no one is mentioning female actors!! Are you all so straight?!

Matt Smith in some dr who episodes dislike him in everything else

Absolutely agree with Aragorn and The Witcher, also Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay in The Mummy

They've been mentioned. I've posted 3 so far.

Clark Gable as Rhett Butler.

@mamaduckbone when DS was tiny tot he got a card out of a cereal packet - Aragorn son of Arathorn - & gave it to me - he said to his friend - Mummy doesn't like the actor - she just likes Aragorn . Oh heavens the way he bangs that door open Never liked Viggo Mortenson in anything else ,,,,, Ha ha

Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings

@MrsSlocombesPussy Elizabethan Blackadder? Definitely. You would never even think it was the same man.

although it does make him look a bit like Peter Sutcliffe

😲😂

@Fountainsoftea

Is it cos as Blackadder, he's the only one with a brain? Is it the pirate look?

These answers are brilliant!

I love this thread!

@EmotionallyEncumbered

Bruce Willis as David in moonlighting

Oh YES!!!

Oh & Russell Crowe in Master and Commander ( The Far side of the world ) - never liked him in anything else

@TeachesOfPeaches

James Norton in happy valley. Can't stand him in anything else

I didn't watch Happy Valley but I was curious to see James Norton in it (c/f my aforementioned love of him as the vicar Sidney in Grantchester). I couldn't switch it off fast enough 😯

It took a lot of mental effort to expunge that image & get him back to the wholesome reverend of Grantchester.

@Theunamedcat

Matt Smith in some dr who episodes dislike him in everything else

But 'The Crown' surely?

Yes to Aargon,Tony Soprano and Jude Law in The Talented Mr Ripley.
Nicola Walker in Unforgotten.

@Feraltomcat

Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder II. I can't fathom that that is the same man as Mr bean 😂

YES!!!

Johnny Depp as Edward Scissorhands

OK. You Blackadder-fancying people are mad! The first post I read saying this I thought 🥺. Then there was a whole collection of you.

Cannot. Compute. 🤪

Patrick Dempsey in Greys Anatomy never liked him in anything else
SJP as annoying Carrie I feel shes a one trick pony
All of the Friends cast appart from maybe Jennifer Aniston the rest have tried but failed
Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane he cant top that
Jon Hamm in Mad Men he just looks sleazy in everything else

v v short - but here you go - Aragorn
? But this was about 20 years ago
Can you see my point - Orlando Bloom - can take or leave him - very much leave him

@Hugexfilesfan

Not a movie but- Sean bean as sharpe.

Sean Bean in anything for me. Those tea adverts!

Brad Pitt in Troy. Think it's the skirt thing. And the hair

Another vote for Sam Heughan as Jamie Frasier in Outlander. The wedding episode in particular

David Duchovny as Hank Moody in Californication
Ben Affleck in The Town

Turns out the more awful the character the more I like them.

Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Specifically when he has his hair cut. And only then. I don't find him remotely attractive in anything else 🤷🏻‍♀️

Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen
