MODERATORS
Heath Ledger as the Joker.
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man.
The fact that Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn isn't on this list makes me sad.
David Tennant as Doctor Who
Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. With the sole exception of his height, (comic book Wolverine is very short, and Jackman is not) it’s like the character walked out of the comics and onto the movie screen.
The like, 2 seconds in Deadpool where they had Cavill as wolverine made me wonder if he could legitimately do it
Hard disagree. Hugh is too tall and too pretty. He's done a fine job with the character but I am extremely excited for a new short-king wolverine. It's time to move on.
Carl Urban - Dredd
Alan Rickman as Severus Snape
AND as the Sheriff of Nottingham!
Why a spoon cousin, why not an axe? It's dull you twit.
I always remembered that bit, I rarely heard anyone but my dad call someone a twit.
I used to think no one but Jim Carrey could do Ace Ventura, but I've seen plenty of impersonations of the character now that Carrey actually wouldn't be needed.
I used to think nobody could replace Mark Hamil's Joker voice until the devs of the Arkham games debuted his replacement for one of them and he fucking nails it to the point if I didn't know he was replaced, I would just assume it was still Hamil.
I can no longer hold the idea that an actor is irreplaceable simply because a good actor can imitate other actors.
Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg
Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow.
But why is all the rum gone?
The entire cast of Princess Bride.
David Suchet as Hercule Poirot.
Bryan Cranston as Walter White
Ewan McGregor - Obi Wan Kenobi
Runners up, R to L:
No one will ever play Wilson so well.
Ian Mckellen, as either Gandalf or Magneto.
Sir Christopher Lee as Saruman.
Danny DeVito.
I dunno, he and Arnold Schwarzenegger are pretty much indistinguishable
For which role?
Yes.
Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba in the new Wicked (part 1)
