Actors who are perfectly cast

[Needhelp101]

Following on from the discussion about actors who are not, who are the ones who are?

To me, Gone Girl was beautifully cast. Ben Affleck as Nick, Rosamund Pike as Amy, all of the minor characters...

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool obviously.

No wonder I forgot, this episode was written by Chris chibnall haha

Jeremy Brett was the best Sherlock ever

Anna Friel as marcella

Going back a bit here but Megan Follows in the Anne of Green Gables series was exactly like I imagined her from the books. Ditto with Marrilla, Rachel Lynde and Matthew.

I’m so glad for the mentions of Joan Hickson in this thread - I’d never seen her and have just watched the first two episodes of The Body In The Library and am thoroughly enjoying it. Also pleased to see Moray Watson in it, I’ve liked him ever since I saw him in Catweazle. Plus a lot of faces I can almost but not quite recognize. 😄

Another Joan Hickson and Jeremy Brett fan here.
The Amanda Root Persuasion is perfectly cast.
Jodie Comer as Villanelle.
Daisy-May Cooper and Charlie Cooper in This Country.
The Bear is also brilliantly cast; the leads are all superlative.

Freddie Highmore in the good doctor

Ruth Wilson in the BBC’s jane eyre was perfect. Although she’s perfect in everything.

Yes, and David Burke the best Watson! Wish he'd stayed in the series longer.

Yes Ruth Wilson is great - first saw her in The Affair with Dominic West -great acting

Gary oldman in Slow Horses
Peter Mullen in Mum

An absolute yes to Joan Hickson as Miss Marple and David Suchet as Poirot.

In case anyone is unaware, Joan Hickson was considered perfect for the role of Miss Marple by Agatha Christie herself. (After seeing her in a play, Christie wrote to Hickson to say she hoped on day she'd play her "dear Miss Marple”. )

Not sure how true this bit isbut apparently Joan Hickson herself when offered the role wasn't so sure she was right for the role. If that's true, thankfully she changed her mind!

The cast of the BBC's Pride and Prejudice
Cast of Last Tango in Halifax
Dinner Ladies
Anne of Green Gables in the 80s (did you know the actor who played Gilbert died in 2015?)
Cast of the original Italian Job

So many!

Olivia Newton John in Grease.

Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins

Ah, Jonathan Crombie. Just right for Gilbert Blythe. Like PPs loved that adaptation.

Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde.

Sam West as Siegfried in the new All Creatures Great & Small. In fact the whole cast are great

All of the casting in Dallas Buyers Club

The cast of The Detectorists. Absolutely brilliant!

The entire cast of 'Mum', they're flawless.

I came on to say this. They just look so alike!

Alan Rickman in every part he has ever played.

Tom hardy playing both of the kray twins in legend was superb. Also, Edward Norton and Naomi Watts in the painted veil.

I came on just to say this! She was absolutely perfect.

@AndAllOurYesterdays and Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange

So many perfect Harry Potter ones
