Lurleene YY to Barry from EastEnders. I don't know if you've ever watched "Extras" but they always used to refer to him as Barry on that, even though he was playing himself. Dean Gaffney was in it too, as a washed up actor desperate for work after EastEnders. Grin

ThornyBird · 01/08/2016 21:08

Neil thingy from Men Behaving Badly is Rocky from Boon really...

ThornyBird · 01/08/2016 21:09

Years ago we saw Stefan Dennis in Blood Brothers - or Paul from Neighbours as he will always be known...

Ann Mitchell, will always be Dolly from Widows (great series).

Paul Nicolas and Jan Francis are Vince and Penny.

Geoff Rawle the Editor from Drop the Dead Donkey.

Ruth Madoc and Sue Pollard, I don't see them as anything other than their Hi Di Hi Characters.

meikyo · 01/08/2016 23:51

Derek Jacobi will always be Claudius in "I, Claudius".

Bogeyface · 01/08/2016 23:59

meikyo

I dont want to be a dick about this, I hate pedants generally, but I think you will find that it is spelled Clavdivs. HTH Wink :o

ginghambox · 02/08/2016 00:07

Idris Elba will allways be fucking shite at whatever part he tries to play.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 02/08/2016 00:20

Vivienne Leigh will always be Scarlett O'Hara except when she is Blanche du Bois.

Must disagree re Gillian Anderson- she's been terrific in all sorts of different roles- including Blanche du Bois.

What's her name off of Ally McBeal will always be Ally McBeal.

bluesbaby · 02/08/2016 00:47

Callista flockhart Smile I was thinking of her too. I know she's done other projects but she'll always be ally mcbeal.
