Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner, menacing and scary!

Alan Rickman as Snape/in Die Hard, the sheriff of Nottingham (I may be biased, I think he was amazing in most things)

Bruce Willis in Die Hard, just the right amount of snarky humour.

Gary Oldman as Sirius Black.

Do you have any ‘bang on’ castings?

Agree about Frasier and Niles!

Steve Carrell as Michael Scott

SJP in SATC

All of the cast of Band of Brothers. Phenomenal casting.

Definitely Joan Hickson as Miss Marple. Peerless.

Also TomBurke and Holliday Grainger as Strike and Robin. Exactly how I imagined them.

Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter

DH just suggested Arnie in Terminator and god damn he's right, the acting may not be the finest ever seen but no one else could have played that part.

RDJ as Tony Stark and Sigourney Weaver as Ripley, I love that she is such a strong character as a female lead. So sick of the notion that female characters in most action films are just there waiting for the male lead to save them. I can't imagine anyone else in that role either, perfect casting I think.

JesusMaryAndJosephAndTheWeeDon · 07/01/2023 22:37

Father Ted. All of them

MustBeThursday · 07/01/2023 22:37

Agree with the Harry Potter actors mentioned already. I would add:

Alan Rickman as the voice of Marvin in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Renee Zellweger as Bridget Jones, Gemma Jones as her mother, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth also
Pam Ferris as sister Evangelina (and also as Miss Trunchbull) and Judy Parfitt as Sister Monica Joan

Actually everyone in Bohemian Rhapsody. It's an awesome film. The guy who plays Brian May is his doppelganger!
