Ian Mckellen as Gandalf.
– Robin Williams as Genie in Aladdin
– Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winfield in Pulp Fiction
Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Emmett Brown.
J.K. Simmons as J Jonah Jameson.
Michael Clarke Duncan as John Coffey in the Green Mile. I hope they never remake that movie, because the role belongs to him and only him.
Matthew Lillard as Shaggy.
Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl.
Not a film, but one of the greatest castings of all-time imo is James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.
Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men
Definitely Robin Williams as The Genie. Totally irreplaceable, no matter how much Disney tries.
Christoph Waltz in “Inglourious Basterds” and in “Django Unchained”.
Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta in GoodFellas
The Dude was written for Jeff Bridges
Viggo Mortensen-Aragorn
Val Kilmer – Doc Holliday
Karl Urban – Dredd
Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Perfection.
Kathy Bates, misery
Christopher Lee as Saruman
Being John Malkovich
It was a role that John Malkovich was born to play.
The entire cast of the Fifth Element.
Nurse Ratched, I still get angry just by thinking of her
Gary Oldman in everything he’s ever done
The Birdcage. All of them.
Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow
Wesley Snipes as Blade. I can never imagine another actor in that role, ever.
Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones
Not a film, but Antony Starr as The Homelander. Top Tier.
Ralph Fiennes in “Schindler’s List”. Also Ralph Fiennes in “In Bruges”, and basically in every other role he has ever played. 😉
Al Pacino as Michael Corleone.
Love it or hate it, Ryan Reynolds as deadpool
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. It is like he was born for that role. The look, the attitude, right down to the delivery absolutely perfect!
Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde
Dr Hannibal Lector… few words, but such an impact, he won the oscar.
Kurt Russell as Jack Burton in Big Trouble in Little China.
Oh, and James Hong as Lo Pan!
Oh, and Dennis Dun as Wang Chi!
Oh, and Victor Wong as Egg Shen!
not a movie, but Bob Odenkirk in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul
Harrison Ford as Han Solo. But here’s the thing…you can pretty much pick any great performance and make the case that it was the perfect casting. Al Pacino turned down the role of Han Solo. If you try and picture Pacino playing that role and you just envision a Harrison Ford impersonation…seems terrible. But I’m sure he would have made a great, completely different version of the character.
Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles
Uma Thurman as Beatrix Kiddo
She’s not the greatest actress in the world but she was perfect for that one part
Eddie Murphy as the donkey in Shrek
Val killer as Jim Morrison
Entire cast of The Usual Suspects
