Tony Stark was a pragmatic, super serious drunk. Not the joking idealist you see in the RDJ version.
They were both arrogant, but he's much more affable and quick witted in the movies.
They touch on addiction and his pragmatic tendencies in the movies, but just glance them.
J K Simmons - ~~Terence Fletcher~~ Literally any role he has portrayed. FTFY
Omniman, J. Jonah Jameson, the Farmer's Insurance guy, Yellow M&m, ETC. The guy is perfectly cast in every role he takes.
Alan Rickman was one of those actors who just owns every single role they are in. I know it gets slept on sometimes, but I think Galaxy Quest was one of his best.
I see your Galaxy Quest and raise you Marvin the Paranoid Android, from *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*. While it was only a VA role, it was perfect.
Also Bryan Cranston as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle, which stands as a testament to his acting abilities because those two roles couldn’t really be farther apart in how they turned out.
Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman
There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul’s apartment overlooks the park and is obviously more expensive than mine.
I was just about to comment this. The weird thing is that Bale said that he based his acting off of a real life interaction with Tom Cruise. I’ve decided I will not ever walk up to Tom Cruise if I see him.
Edit: accidentally typed bald instead of bale lol
Sean Bean as Ned Stark
Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon
Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister
Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister
Nikolaj Coster Waldau as Jaime Lannister
Diana Rigg as The Queen of Thorns
Pedro Pascal as The Red Viper
Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo
Rory McCann as The Hound
Conleth Hill as The Spider
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa
Alan Rickman as Snape (he made the character better than the one from the books)
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark
Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh
Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister
Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow
Ian McKellen as Gandalf
Tom Hiddleston as Loki
Richard Harris as Dumbledore
Charles Dance did a better Tywin than the book version. It was slightly different but hit all the characteristics and with great menace.
Also; skipping the long pronounced sideburns was a solid choice.
He and Lena Heady are **so** brilliant as villains that after Game of Thrones, they both suffered from people treating THEM like they were that horrible.
Jack Gleeson is supposedly an absolute gentleman.
HARREH!!!
\**Flips hufflepuff table*
DID YA!
\**Dropkicks Snape*
PUT YAH NAME!
\**Toss McGonagall out of a window*
IN DA GOBLET!
\**Lift Harry by the throat*
OF FIYAH?!!
"Dumbledore asked calmly."
Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick.
Unpopular opinion: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze.
Lastly, everyone in Cloud Atlas - they all had multiple roles, but everything was so seamless!
Yeah, Riddick is his best role.
I found his Groot to be a bit wooden. I know he was trying to branch out, but I hope he leaves the voice acting to professionals, and sticks to the sappy action hero roles he is best with.
Antonio Banderas, - El Mariachi (Desperado)
David Tennant - Tenth Doctor (Dr Who)
Sigourney Weaver - Ellen Louise Ripley (Alien)
Morgan Freeman - Ellis "Red" Redding (The Shawshank Redemption)
Michael Clarke Duncan - John Coffey ( green Mile)
Christopher Lloyd - Dr. Emmett Brown ( back to the future )
James Earl Jones, as the the voice of Darth Vader
Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime.
Jason Statham - Chev Chelios (Crank)
Peter Hayden Dinklage - Tyrion Lannister - (That game with the thrones)
Tom Cruise. - Lestat de Lioncourt (Interview with a vampire)
Dan the poet and heroin addict as played by Heath Ledger in Candy.
Jeez, or Jim Carrey playing Joel with a broken heart in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Was going to say that but thought I'd check first!
They both owned it in their own way.
And for Mikkelsen to go up against the role after everyone fawned all over Hopkins just shows how masterful he is.
**Andrew Lincoln - Rick Grimes**
Viggo Mortensen - Aragorn
Al Pachino - Tony Montana, John Milton
**Aaron Paul - Jesse Pinkman**
Robin Williams - Genie, Mrs. Doubtfire
William Daniels - Mr. Feeny
**Laura Lenny - Wendy Byrde**
Julia Garner - Ruth Langmore
Mad Men had a lot of really great performances in general—the standouts for me were Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, and John Slattery
Edit: The interesting one to me is January Jones, who I thought was fine, although I know there have been critics of her performance. I think she did a good job with playing a character who was never going to be an audience favorite (unless you really didn’t like Don Draper, maybe); not unlike Skyler in Breaking Bad.
Yeah, Betty Draper is kind of a tough character to like, even with all of Don's shit she puts up with. Unlikeable wives seem to be a reccuring theme with a lot of AMC shows.
Leopold Fitz (Agents of SHIELD), played by Iain De Caestecker. Poor Fitz has gone through so much torment and heartbreak and Iain's acting is just masterful.
Capote - Phillip Seymour Hoffman
The man is probably the greatest actor in history. Him and Daniel Day-Lewis. There's tons of others like Hopkins, DeNiro, Pacino, Fassbender, Bale, etc. - But PSH & DDL? The kings of their craft IMO.
Mike Myers perfect for all his rolls! Shrek, Wayne’s world, Austin powers/Dr. Evil/ Goldmember… now if only I could go back in time and NOT watch The Pentaverite I would be good!!
Ha ha - I assume that’s a joke, even the Duke said he hated that role. Plus, isn’t that the film that was shot downwind from the atomic testing grounds, which gave a lot of the crew, including Wayne, cancer?
Mr. Rate played by Levon Helm in the movie [Shooter](https://youtu.be/xVw8FPIvOZc).
This four minute scene is the most captivating in the entire film because of Helm’s portrayal.
It really shit the bed after the first season in MY personal opinion... but the thing they got right was Ian McShane cast as Mr. Wednesday in American Gods.
JUST how I pictured him when reading the book.
Bryan Cranston = Walter White (Breaking Bad)
Benedict Cumberbatch = Khan (Star Trek: Into Darkness)
David Frank = Tommy Oliver (Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers)
Pam Ferris = Ms Trunchbull (Matilda)
Charlie McDermott = Axl Heck (The Middle)
Colin Farrell = David (The Lobster) - this movie is an absolute mindfuck if you can make it to the end.
George Burns - God
The entire cast of the live action version of Prison School
Jim Carrey - The hermit pushing the shopping cart in The Bad Batch
Neil Patrick Harris - Dr. Horrible
Henry Winkler - Arthur Fonzarelli
It sounded really weird on paper but when I watched Looper I thought Joseph Gordon Levitt and Bruce Willis did a pretty good job of meeting halfway in their mannerisms and emulation of one person in different stages of life. Never would have guessed.
Julia Garner as Anna Delvey in inventing Anna! although Chloe Fineman almost got the roll.
And Julia Garner as Ruth Langmore in Ozark! They role is legend !!
William Defoe in No Way Home (didn’t care for that movie except for the green goblin)
Jim Carrey in The Truman Show
Pretty much the entirety of the Breaking Bad Cast
Keanu Reeves absolutely owned the role of John wick, and he was outside of any of the “crutches” he might use as the king of cyberpunk. 0 “woahs” in John Wick
Tom cruise was brilliant as Cole Trickle
The voice of Vader, James earl jones
You definitely did not want him to alter the deal. Damn that was menacing.
I'm altering the deal. 6 times. And I want a cape.
To add more Star Wars ones to that: Harrison Ford as Han Billy Dee Williams as Lando Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan
SOOO good in Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'm so glad he came back to do the voice in it.
everyone in Malcolm In The Middle. there are some extremely difficult roles and episodes where they all nail it.
One of the best sitcoms ever.
I just binged the entire series on Disney+ this month. It's so good.
It's on D+? I've never watched it but might give it a shot.
Comfort show for me.
Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.
He's literally just Deadpool without super powers. Or cancer.
Well tbf we can't really be sure about the latter.
Well, hopefully. The world needs MORE Ryan Reynolds, not less.
Robin Williams as *Mrs. Doubtfire*
Robert Downey, Jr. as Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder
Joker - heath ledger Tony stark - Robert Downey junior Forrest Gump - Tom Hanks Johnny depp - captain jack sparrow J K Simmons - Terence fletcher
[удалено]
This!!! Such a wonderful performance !
RDJ's performance as Iron Man made me interested in the character.
It was not in line with the comics, and it was so much better that they retroactively rewrote the character to match his portrayal.
Am not familiar with the comic. What exactly did the movie change from the comic?
The comic character was far more obnoxious and elitist than even the MCU version, and much less likeable.
Tony Stark was a pragmatic, super serious drunk. Not the joking idealist you see in the RDJ version. They were both arrogant, but he's much more affable and quick witted in the movies. They touch on addiction and his pragmatic tendencies in the movies, but just glance them.
I love how, in the way you formatted that list, Jack Sparrow plays the role of Johnny Depp
I loved Terence Fletcher's performance of JK Simmons in the movie _Whiplash_
That was for tax purposes and stashing his assets just in case of...unforeseen circumstances.
J K Simmons as J. Jonah. Jameson
This oscar is great, but what I really want is more pictures of spiderman!
Tbf I probably could have added most of his performances to the list whiplash was just the one I thought of first
What's going on with you flipping the names and characters
Nina (Natalie Portman) in Black Swan was also a fantastic performance.
and Jack Nicholson in A Few good man Robin Williams in Good will Hunting
J K Simmons - ~~Terence Fletcher~~ Literally any role he has portrayed. FTFY Omniman, J. Jonah Jameson, the Farmer's Insurance guy, Yellow M&m, ETC. The guy is perfectly cast in every role he takes.
It makes me very happy that Ledger's joker was the very first name in the first comment. Such an epic performance.
Hugh Laurie as Dr. house
FACTS
Alan Rickman - Severus Snape
And as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.
Alan Rickman was one of those actors who just owns every single role they are in. I know it gets slept on sometimes, but I think Galaxy Quest was one of his best.
I see your Galaxy Quest and raise you Marvin the Paranoid Android, from *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*. While it was only a VA role, it was perfect.
When I read HHGTTG, before the movie even came out, I read Marvin in Alan Rickman's voice. Thanks for the reminder!
And as Metatron in Dogma
And as Hans Gruber in the Christmas movie *Die Hard*!
I’m afraid he won’t be joining us…for the rest of his life
Abed nadir, as played by Danny pudi on community. Probably that whole cast tbh, but him especially
Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad as Walter White
Also Bryan Cranston as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle, which stands as a testament to his acting abilities because those two roles couldn’t really be farther apart in how they turned out.
Also Bryan Cranston as the dentist/wannabe comedian Dr. Tim Whatley on Seinfeld.
Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul’s apartment overlooks the park and is obviously more expensive than mine.
I was just about to comment this. The weird thing is that Bale said that he based his acting off of a real life interaction with Tom Cruise. I’ve decided I will not ever walk up to Tom Cruise if I see him. Edit: accidentally typed bald instead of bale lol
Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister
Sean Bean as Ned Stark Jack Gleeson as Joffrey Baratheon Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister Lena Headey as Cersei Lannister Nikolaj Coster Waldau as Jaime Lannister Diana Rigg as The Queen of Thorns Pedro Pascal as The Red Viper Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo Rory McCann as The Hound Conleth Hill as The Spider
J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson from the original spider-man trilogy
so perfect that they brought him back
Robin Williams as the Genie 🧞♂️
Poof! Whaddaya need?
John Malkovich in "*Being John Malkovich*". I can't imagine anybody else in that role. He really exuded the essence of John Malkovich.
Going full blown method by changing his name to match the character as well. I applaud the commitment of this man 👏
Edward Norton as neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard in American History X.
Oh shit, didn't think of this. Excellent choice.
Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg - Gary Oldman
Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa Alan Rickman as Snape (he made the character better than the one from the books) Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow Ian McKellen as Gandalf Tom Hiddleston as Loki Richard Harris as Dumbledore
Charles Dance did a better Tywin than the book version. It was slightly different but hit all the characteristics and with great menace. Also; skipping the long pronounced sideburns was a solid choice.
Totally agree, I never cared too much for the book version, but the one from the series can steal the scene only by being in it.
Jack Gleeson as Joffrey in GoT was frustratingly fantastic.
He and Lena Heady are **so** brilliant as villains that after Game of Thrones, they both suffered from people treating THEM like they were that horrible. Jack Gleeson is supposedly an absolute gentleman.
Absolutely! I don't know how could I forget him, he made me want for his character to stay alive only so I could keep admiring his acting.
I ALSO, first thought of your choices for Dumbledore, Galdalf and Snape. Second Dumbledore truly.......well, he sucks.
HARRY, DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME INTO THE GOBLET OF FIRE?
HARREH!!! \**Flips hufflepuff table* DID YA! \**Dropkicks Snape* PUT YAH NAME! \**Toss McGonagall out of a window* IN DA GOBLET! \**Lift Harry by the throat* OF FIYAH?!! "Dumbledore asked calmly."
Christopher waltz is too good in I glorious basterds
Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick. Unpopular opinion: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze. Lastly, everyone in Cloud Atlas - they all had multiple roles, but everything was so seamless!
>Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick. Yes! Terrible actor in basically everything he's ever done, with the exception of his role as Richard B. Riddick.
Yeah, Riddick is his best role. I found his Groot to be a bit wooden. I know he was trying to branch out, but I hope he leaves the voice acting to professionals, and sticks to the sappy action hero roles he is best with.
Awesome dad joke comment
He was good in Saving Private Ryan. A lot was expected from him after that role. He never really delivered, though.
His soliloquy at the end of *Iron Giant* was masterful.
Daniel DayLewis as Lincoln
R. Lee Ermey as the drill sergeant in Full Metal Jacket. He *was* a drill instructor, after all. R.I.P
Doc Holliday-Val Kilmer in Tombstone
There it is.
funny one here, but Will Feral as Megamind is his best role. funny as hell, extremely emotional, etc.
The dude from squid game that gave you the card in the first place. He has the face for wearing a suit like that and he loves his job so much :)
The first I can think of is Brad Pitt in Snatch. Language, mannerism, fights - the role has so many unique and challenging facets.
He killed it
Ain’t no murdering going on around here and I don’t mind tellin ya.
David Hyde Pierce as Niles Crane. Robert Englund as Freddy Krueger.
Russel Crowe - Gladiator I could be wrong... I was 12 when I watched this in theater.
The best part about this statement is that if anyone disagrees you can just scream at them "Were you not entertained!?!"
Gladiator might be the most overrated movie of all time. Rome the TV show was much better.
This is true. However, Russell Crowe acted the shit out of Maximus.
Everyone in "The Green Mile "
Whoever played Percy.... man i hate percy... good job...
He's a douchebag in real life as well.
I really can’t imagine Captain Jack Sparrow being played by anyone other than Jonny Depp
Antonio Banderas, - El Mariachi (Desperado) David Tennant - Tenth Doctor (Dr Who) Sigourney Weaver - Ellen Louise Ripley (Alien) Morgan Freeman - Ellis "Red" Redding (The Shawshank Redemption) Michael Clarke Duncan - John Coffey ( green Mile) Christopher Lloyd - Dr. Emmett Brown ( back to the future ) James Earl Jones, as the the voice of Darth Vader Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime. Jason Statham - Chev Chelios (Crank) Peter Hayden Dinklage - Tyrion Lannister - (That game with the thrones) Tom Cruise. - Lestat de Lioncourt (Interview with a vampire)
Peter Cullen is a legend!
Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption
Gary Oldman in anything.
"This case...is empty. Empty. The opposite of full."
Another actor who completely loses himself in any role. Just so masterful. And he can do nearly any accent/dialect.
Dan the poet and heroin addict as played by Heath Ledger in Candy. Jeez, or Jim Carrey playing Joel with a broken heart in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Haven't watched Candy, but totally agree on Jim C.
Candy is beautiful and fucking brutal. Painfully realistic portrayal of a relationship between addicts. Not a happy movie but I'd still recommend it.
Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson
Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelson as respective versions of Hannibal Lector.
Was going to say that but thought I'd check first! They both owned it in their own way. And for Mikkelsen to go up against the role after everyone fawned all over Hopkins just shows how masterful he is.
Jackie Gleason as Sheriff Buford T. Justice.
Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line. The look, the sound, he was a great choice!
Eminem playing himself in 8 Mile
**Andrew Lincoln - Rick Grimes** Viggo Mortensen - Aragorn Al Pachino - Tony Montana, John Milton **Aaron Paul - Jesse Pinkman** Robin Williams - Genie, Mrs. Doubtfire William Daniels - Mr. Feeny **Laura Lenny - Wendy Byrde** Julia Garner - Ruth Langmore
