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?

He is, but I just couldn’t get into the film he did on the train. I just couldn’t watch it.

Yes absolutely. Their on screen chemistry was superb.

Whoever cast Teri Garr as Phoebe's mum in friends was a genius. They are so alike. They could really be mother and daughter.

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

I liked the idea of Bill Nighy as Slartibartfast too, but I really hated the HHGTTG film. Ford and Zaphod were horrible and I wanted Hugh Laurie as Arthur Dent. and Marvin looked happy.
The TV series is a million times better.

Keeley Hawes as Denton in Line of Duty.

I can't believe I forgot it, but I honestly think this is one of the finest performances of all time.

Shout out to Mercurio for creating a character of this complexity.
