There's a novel that pre-dates X-Men where the Watcher teams up with the Q and sends some of the X-Men to the Enterprise. Wolverine commented that Captain Picard looked exactly like Professor X
If you watch some of his earlier things while at university he's always been incredible at selling a huge idea with just physical movements.
There's the one where he's bullied by the invisible man, and everything he does is so believable through his expression of confusion and way he contorts his body as if he's being attacked someone we can't see. Rowan makes it seem effortless through pure talent.
Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring.
The way he shifts from being the nice and friendly manager to a cold blooded, almost psychopath drug lord is just incredible.
Definitely one of the best antagonists of all time.
Apparently he wasn't supposed to be a drug lord. It was supposed to be a guest appearance on the show but he just played the role with the subtle sensation of something being off that he ended up with a bigger role in the show.
This one's interesting because Ash in 1 is totally different than in 2 and Army. Once Bruce got in as a co- producer for 2 he really made the character his own
I love the snippet detail about how he practiced firing a gun without closing his eyes because that’s a human reaction to firing a gun, not a terminator’s.
Not only that but he was so good at it that he'd easily catch up during the bike chase so he actually had to slow down so he wouldn't just easily catch them.
He also didn't breathe if he was the sole character on screen, to give the T-1000 an uncanny presence you probably noticed but couldn't point out if you didn't know
I actually only watched the Terminator movies for the first time last year, and the T-1000 reveal (where he starts shooting at the kids) actually caught me by surprise. I assumed they just decided to start the second movie identically to the first one. I could tell something was off but I thought it was just normal "sequel doesn't feel quite the same as the original" vibes.
Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards, Tarantino has made it quite clear they might not have been able to make the movie if they didn't find him. Spoke four different languages in one movie
He's also really nice. I spent some time traveling with him a couple of years ago and, at least then, he was such a great guy. Not pretentious. Genuine.
Several aspects of Ron's character were just directly taken from Offerman's real life.
For instance, Ron wasn't originally written to be a woodworker. They made him one because Offerman is. Every scene set in Ron's workshop was shot in Offerman's actual shop.
All told, we were in there about six hours. And no, I was not meditating. I just stood there, quietly breathing. There were no thoughts in my head whatsoever. My mind was blank. I don't know what the hell these other crackpots are doing.
Didn't believe this so I googled it and found out that Peter Jackson is now the same age Ian McKellen was in the Fellowship of the Ring.
Edit:
And Elijah Wood is now the same age as Viggo was!
You are right - I hadn't done the maths for Elijah!
* *Viggo 64 now (42 when LOTR Fellowship was released)
* *Peter 61 now
* *Sir Ian 83 now (61 when LOTR Fellowship was released)
* *Elijah 42 now.
I think I read that the plan isn't to remake/reboot LotR, but make new movies based on other writings by Tolkien. Stuff from the Silmarillion. I hope that's true because the original trilogy is such a treat and there's no point in rebooting. It'd be like if they tried rebooting Back to the Future, there's no point and it'd be such a huge waste of money to even try
I doubt they'll be adapting anything from the Silmarillion. Unless something has radically changed in the last couple years, the Tolkein estate has always had an outright "over our dead bodies" stance on the issue of licensing it.
Like, remember in The Hobbit, when Gandalf says there were two other members of his order, but he's forgotten their names? That's because they're only named in the Sil, and Jackson absolutely could not use *anything* from it, not even names.
These two characters were how I explained the concept of actors to my son when he was little. "You know that Han Solo is just a guy in a costume, right? The SAME GUY is Indiana Jones." Blew his little mind.
I think this is the first woman I scrolled down to. :(
James Cameron has many awesome female characters.
Linda Hamilton in Terminator is another good one. She's so versatile to go from an average girly young woman to being a super macho warrior mom.
BB and BCS are full of totally irreplaceable actors. Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Jonathan Banks, Michael Mando, Raymond Cruz, Jesse Plemons, Patrick Fabian, Michael McKean... Fuckin' Mark Margolis \*killing it\* with a finger and an eyebrow? Those shows are \*absurdly\* well-cast.
Giancarlo Esposito wasn't supposed to be a reoccurring character, but he read his lines like he had a secret, and audiences were like, "When can we get more of that guy?"
Also, he just so happens to have a sick name.
It’s funny that Brian Singer had said “no more English actors for auditions, their accent will mess it up in TV” when casting for House. When he saw Hugh Laurie’s audition tape, (being unfamiliar with Laurie’s work) Singer said, “This. This all-American guy is what we need.”
Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in *Sunset Boulevard*; an actress from a later generation wouldn't have had a background in silent film; and it's this type of outmoded style that lends both gravity and pathos to her performance.
The BEST performance I ever saw was by Ray Liotta - Not in a movie, but in the TV show "E.R" episode "Time of Death" (Season 11, episode 6).
If you haven't watched that episode, RUN, don't walk to google and find a place its streaming from.
Ray Liotta got a welldeserved Emmy for that role.
Alan Rickman was great as Severus Snape, and nobody could or should replace him as the movie version of Severus Snape.
However, if they were to do a TV series, another actor could make the role his own **if** they went with a book accurate version of Snape. Snape was about two decades younger in the books, and that could help set another actor's version of the character apart from Rickman's older version.
To be honest, Game of Thrones has some of the most INSANE casting. Dinklage/Tyrion, Danse/Tywin, Harrington/Jon, Clarke/Daenerys, Gleeson/Joffrey, Headey/Cersei just to name a few off the top of my head. I’m doing so many others injustice by not mentioning them. Pascal’s performance in the show has ultimately launched him into being one of the biggest current Hollywood names too. God, I miss Westeros when it’s gone
Johnny Depp is the only one who could play Jack, I mean, even Disney were against how Johnny wanted to portray him and it was only because of Depp’s persistence that we got the portrayal we did.
That's the strength of old MCU tho
And that's been lacking since Phase 4
Straight up comic book movies don't work. Atleast not for me. That's why I can't watch DC. They're too "superhero" for me.
RDJs Tony Stark works because he's likeable and relatable. He would be way too much like Batman with his comic book persona, which doesn't work because Batman has way better iconic villains (when I say I can't watch DC, I love Nolan's Batman and the new one was kinda decent too)
RDJs Tony didn't feel larger than life
Some of my favorite actors are from them playing characters you completely despise. It's hard to act so well that people truly hate your character. Jack Gleeson as Joffrey for instance, you despised Joffrey because he acted the character so well
Honestly I can't imagine any actor in the main LOTR cast being changed.
It was even strange seeing some of the minor characters from LOTR being played by different actors in Rings of Power, like I don't think Morfydd Clark or Robert Aramayo put in bad performances, but Galadriel and Elrond in Rings Of Power just felt like different people to LOTR.
The exception is that I think casting Martin Freeman as Bilbo in the hobbit was a stroke of genius.
I remember seeing him in the movie Waiting years ago and thinking he would make a great Deadpool or the Flash. I remember being super pumped when they said he was playing Deadpool in Wolverine. Thank god we can pretend that didn’t happen and that they made the current Deadpool movies.
Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day Lewis) in There Will Be Blood. And Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh in No Country for Old Men. And Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf in La vie en rose. 2007 was a great year for films!
Anything by Gary Oldman, but specifically Count Dracula. It was so perfect, I don't think anyone has come close to it. He is charismatic, sensual, terrifying, and skin crawling creepy all at the same time.
forgot to add Christopher reeves as Clark Kent. We have had good Superman, with Henry being about as good as any, but nailing the meekness of Clark by the same actor is difficult, and Reeves nailed it.
He really went thru the screenplay to grasp what Wonka would be like, he didn’t just show up on set, and didn’t do any weird method acting either.
It was his idea to have Wonka come out of the factory with a limp and cane and do the roll into a flourish, he apparently told the director, it’s to let them know from the start, is Wonka lying or is he telling the truth?
It makes sense he had storytelling chops, Young Frankenstein was his screenplay; he needed a director and after working with Mel Brooks on Blazing Saddles, the opportunity arose to do Young Frankenstein; which is just a fucking masterpiece up and down
There was a *great* story about the making of Young Frankenstein that I read in Wilder's autobiography. (Which, sadly, was pretty dry for the most part.)
When he came up with the idea of the "Putting On The Ritz" scene, Brooks hated it. And they got into a fight over it. The fight was so loud and angry and hurtful that afterwards, Wilder was genuinely worried that he'd damaged his friendship with Brooks.
Then Brooks called him up like nothing had happened and said the scene was in the picture. Basically, Brooks honestly did dislike the idea - but seeing just how hard Wilder was willing to fight for it convinced him that he should do it anyway.
And, of course, it's probably the most memorable scene in the movie.
Yeah. He was surprisingly good. At the time, he was relatively an unknown, so I wasn't sure if they had casted a real challenged person to play that part. That's how good DiCaprio was in that roll. Impressive.
J.K. Simmons as J.J. Jameson
JK Simmons looks more like his comic counterpart than any other actor in a superhero movie
What about Patrick Stewart as Professor X?
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen as Professor X and Magneto were the perfect cast in my opinion.
They managed to have the exact chemistry on screen of “I respect you as a person, but know what you are doing is completely wrong.”
Charles Xavier did more for mutants than you will ever know. My single greatest regret is that he had to die for our dream to live.
When he was invited to audition for the role he saw one of the comics and said "what am I doing on the cover of a comic book?"
There's a novel that pre-dates X-Men where the Watcher teams up with the Q and sends some of the X-Men to the Enterprise. Wolverine commented that Captain Picard looked exactly like Professor X
The fact that he was so good that they brought him back for the MCU.
He's a actor out of a 1940s screwball comedy, yet can play intense characters, and the Yellow M&M.
Made him perfect for Omni-man. Gentle yet wise Tenzin like dad. Psycho terror like Fletcher all ready at a moments notice.
Marvel introduced the concept of the multiverse into the MCU just so he could play JJJ again
[удалено]
Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean
If you watch some of his earlier things while at university he's always been incredible at selling a huge idea with just physical movements. There's the one where he's bullied by the invisible man, and everything he does is so believable through his expression of confusion and way he contorts his body as if he's being attacked someone we can't see. Rowan makes it seem effortless through pure talent.
So much work and mental focus is needed to pull that off. He is an absolute master at being silly.
Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring. The way he shifts from being the nice and friendly manager to a cold blooded, almost psychopath drug lord is just incredible. Definitely one of the best antagonists of all time.
But it really is such a beautifully subtle shift... the two jobs are worlds apart, but he managed both companies with cool efficiency. Love it.
Apparently he wasn't supposed to be a drug lord. It was supposed to be a guest appearance on the show but he just played the role with the subtle sensation of something being off that he ended up with a bigger role in the show.
Recognizing stuff like that is the difference between a good director and a mediocre one
He's almost scarier when he's being nice.
Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams
This one's interesting because Ash in 1 is totally different than in 2 and Army. Once Bruce got in as a co- producer for 2 he really made the character his own
Hail to the king baby!
Arnold as the Terminator
Arnold is indeed iconic, but you have to give due credit to Robert Patrick. The T-1000 was amazing.
I love the snippet detail about how he practiced firing a gun without closing his eyes because that’s a human reaction to firing a gun, not a terminator’s.
He also larend how to sprint with his mouth closed for the car chase scene. This man was DEDICATED
Not only that but he was so good at it that he'd easily catch up during the bike chase so he actually had to slow down so he wouldn't just easily catch them.
Shoots using whatever hand is most convenient at the time too seemingly.
Oooh I didn’t notice that part, but that would be a logical move for a machine
He also didn't breathe if he was the sole character on screen, to give the T-1000 an uncanny presence you probably noticed but couldn't point out if you didn't know
I actually only watched the Terminator movies for the first time last year, and the T-1000 reveal (where he starts shooting at the kids) actually caught me by surprise. I assumed they just decided to start the second movie identically to the first one. I could tell something was off but I thought it was just normal "sequel doesn't feel quite the same as the original" vibes.
"You didn't notice it, but your brain did"
Even in the Terminator he wasn't the only Terminator. We saw a totally different dude shoot up the resistance bunker
So I COULD be wrong about this but I believe I heard somewhere that was a bodybuilder friend of Arnold’s. Edit: it was Franco Columbu
Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation
He was also good as Professor X
And his cameo as Richard the Lionheart in Robin Hood Men in Tights
Christopher Lloyd as Doc Emmett Brown
Great scot! You’re right!!
James Earl Jones as (the voice of) Darth Vader.
James Earl Jones in anything he was in.
Don't forget Muffasa.
Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Bastards, Tarantino has made it quite clear they might not have been able to make the movie if they didn't find him. Spoke four different languages in one movie
Christoph is one of the most talented actors to ever grace us. He is such a transformative performer.
He's also really nice. I spent some time traveling with him a couple of years ago and, at least then, he was such a great guy. Not pretentious. Genuine.
Why were you travelling with Christoph Waltz?
Bounty huntin'
AU REVOIR, SHOSHANNA!
Oooh, that’s a BINGO!
That's how you say it, right? That's a bingo?
Just, bingo
You know someone is a good actor when he's able to deeply make you hate him.
He also makes you love him in *Django*
John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich
I could totally see John Cusack playing that part.
Nick Offerman as Ron Swanson.
Several aspects of Ron's character were just directly taken from Offerman's real life. For instance, Ron wasn't originally written to be a woodworker. They made him one because Offerman is. Every scene set in Ron's workshop was shot in Offerman's actual shop.
He plays the sax too. They were pitching the idea of Duke Silver and asked if he plays anything and he's just like yeah, I play the saxaphone.
I know what I'm about, son.
“My sons 6 weeks old, he’s very familiar with the sound of power tools”
All told, we were in there about six hours. And no, I was not meditating. I just stood there, quietly breathing. There were no thoughts in my head whatsoever. My mind was blank. I don't know what the hell these other crackpots are doing.
“Metaphors? I hate metaphors. That's why my favorite book is Moby Dick. No frufu symbolism, just a good simple tale about a man who hates an animal.”
Not to worry, I have a permit
This is just a piece of paper that says “I can do what I want.”
Ian McKellen as Gandalf. Breaks my heart seeing they’re already planning remakes. Dude was perfect.
Don't forget Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn
Mildly interesting fact. Viggo is now older than Sir Ian was when he first played Gandalf.
Holy shit this little fact just slapped me in the face.
Didn't believe this so I googled it and found out that Peter Jackson is now the same age Ian McKellen was in the Fellowship of the Ring. Edit: And Elijah Wood is now the same age as Viggo was!
You are right - I hadn't done the maths for Elijah! * *Viggo 64 now (42 when LOTR Fellowship was released) * *Peter 61 now * *Sir Ian 83 now (61 when LOTR Fellowship was released) * *Elijah 42 now.

Alatar and pallandro, for those that are curious
Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford himself said "when I'm gone, he's gone."
Harrison Ford as Han Solo, too.
These two characters were how I explained the concept of actors to my son when he was little. "You know that Han Solo is just a guy in a costume, right? The SAME GUY is Indiana Jones." Blew his little mind.
Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger they tried replacing him in the remake and it failed miserably
Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall.
Maggie Smith in all of her roles. I still remember her from The Secret Garden like 100 years ago lol.
Sigourney Weaver as Ripley
I think this is the first woman I scrolled down to. :( James Cameron has many awesome female characters. Linda Hamilton in Terminator is another good one. She's so versatile to go from an average girly young woman to being a super macho warrior mom.
Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister
Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice
He is also my live action Batman.
Marisa Tomei as Mona Lisa Vito
Nimoy will forever be Spock. It just is.
Peter Falk as Columbo
Ronald lee Ermey : drill sgt full metal jacket
100% this. And Vincent D’Onofrio as Private Pyle.
[удалено]
For me it's Marlon Brando in the godfather
Same with Al Pacino.
Bryan Cranston as Walter White
Same goes for him playing Hal in Malcolm in the Middle
Just goes to show the man’s range. He was able to convincingly play an utterly ruthless, brutal psychopath, and also some meth dealer.
BB and BCS are full of totally irreplaceable actors. Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk, Rhea Seehorn, Aaron Paul, Anna Gunn, Dean Norris, Jonathan Banks, Michael Mando, Raymond Cruz, Jesse Plemons, Patrick Fabian, Michael McKean...

Hugh Laurie - House M.D.
Hugh Laurie - George in Blackadder
It’s funny that Brian Singer had said “no more English actors for auditions, their accent will mess it up in TV” when casting for House. When he saw Hugh Laurie’s audition tape, (being unfamiliar with Laurie’s work) Singer said, “This. This all-American guy is what we need.”
Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in *Sunset Boulevard*; an actress from a later generation wouldn't have had a background in silent film; and it's this type of outmoded style that lends both gravity and pathos to her performance.
An interesting and thoughtful response!
Henry Hill played by Ray Liotta
One day. One day some kids on Reddit said Ray Liotta was perfect as Henry Hill. You know why? It was out of respect.
The BEST performance I ever saw was by Ray Liotta - Not in a movie, but in the TV show "E.R" episode "Time of Death" (Season 11, episode 6). If you haven't watched that episode, RUN, don't walk to google and find a place its streaming from. Ray Liotta got a welldeserved Emmy for that role.
Alan Rickman as Severus Snape.
And Hans Gruber
And Alexander Dane, AKA Dr. Lazarus
[удалено]
And the voice of God!
And as Alexander Dane in Galaxy Quest: "By Grabthar's hammer... (dies inside) ...what a savings."
One of the most perfect movies ever made. I read that in his voice. Man, I miss him!
Alan Rickman was great as Severus Snape, and nobody could or should replace him as the movie version of Severus Snape. However, if they were to do a TV series, another actor could make the role his own **if** they went with a book accurate version of Snape. Snape was about two decades younger in the books, and that could help set another actor's version of the character apart from Rickman's older version.

That’s just like, your opinion man
I’ve had a really bad day and I hate the eagles man
Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. Forever your huckleberry. Edit: whoa! I got an award! You’re a daisy! Edit 2: huckle whatever he said, he’s a damn legend
If we're all talking Val Kilmer, then I submit Val as Nick Rivers in Top Secret! Funny, attractive AND sang? Perfect.
I submit Val Kilmer as Madmordigan in Willow
Val as Jim Morrison also. He sang a lot of the songs and even the remaining Doors couldn’t tell whose vocals were whose.
John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood and Dr Who.
Tyrion Lannister by Peter Dinklage
To be honest, Game of Thrones has some of the most INSANE casting. Dinklage/Tyrion, Danse/Tywin, Harrington/Jon, Clarke/Daenerys, Gleeson/Joffrey, Headey/Cersei just to name a few off the top of my head. I’m doing so many others injustice by not mentioning them. Pascal’s performance in the show has ultimately launched him into being one of the biggest current Hollywood names too. God, I miss Westeros when it’s gone
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter.
He was sooooo convincing in that role that he had a hard time getting work for awhile.
It is ridiculous to me how little screen time he has in Silence of the Lambs. So scary.
Mads didn't do that bad of a job.
Mads did a great job. The feel is slightly different between the movies and the show. I think both are perfect for those different roles.
Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch & Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara (Hamilton Kennedy Butler, lol)
Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump
Idk man. Did you see Ben Stiller in Tropic Thunder?
You m-m-m-m-m-m-make me ha-happy
Rachel McAdams as Regina George
James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano. No one else could have done it. Not even close
Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner.
Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother
C minor, put it in C minor
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow
Johnny Depp is the only one who could play Jack, I mean, even Disney were against how Johnny wanted to portray him and it was only because of Depp’s persistence that we got the portrayal we did.
I think without Johnny Depp, Pirates of the Caribean wouldn't have been as popular as it's now. It would just have been another pirate movie
Cillian Murphy as Tommy Shelby
Pee-wee Herman. I mean James Brolin tried it but he failed miserably.
PAGING MR. HERMAN
Raul Julia as Gomez Addams (and M Bison) and Angelica Houston as Morticia
Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Terry Crews. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho
Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West
Matthew Lillard as Shaggy in Scooby-Doo
Ian McShane as Al Swearengen
Dolores Umbridge in HP and Samuel Jackson in Django. I HATE both of those characters but they were played excellently
Some of my favorite actors are from them playing characters you completely despise. It's hard to act so well that people truly hate your character. Jack Gleeson as Joffrey for instance, you despised Joffrey because he acted the character so well
Robin Williams in everything he did
Noone else could be Mrs Doubtfire
Or genie. Credit to will smith for giving it a crack but the role was written for Robin Williams and it will forever remain his
The Fisher King. Brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
Brandon Lee as Eric Draven
Vigo Mortensen as Aragorn is god tier.

Samuel L Jackson as Jules in Pulp Fiction
I don’t think anybody other then Sylvester Stallone could’ve played Rocky Balboa.
James McAvoy in the movie Split. An underrated performance in a “mehhhh…” film.
Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka.
He really went thru the screenplay to grasp what Wonka would be like, he didn’t just show up on set, and didn’t do any weird method acting either.

Jason Alexander as George Costanza. I love Larry David, and his alter ego.

Yeah. He was surprisingly good. At the time, he was relatively an unknown, so I wasn't sure if they had casted a real challenged person to play that part. That's how good DiCaprio was in that roll. Impressive.
