I never watched an X-men, nor the old Dune, so for me Patrick Stewart is Jean-Luc Picard.

Agree! When I see him in other things I'm like "oh hai Picard"
Voice of Avery Bullock in American dad. In Picard show, is his age caught up to him and he looks super disinterested and tired
Jason Alexander is cemented in my memory as George Costanza.
Even when he’s a lizard bartender on The Orville
Or the genius alien in voyager, think tank episode. I think Seinfeld is worst off though, it make sense considered what kind of person he is nowm
Duckman
Roger Moore as Bond - he wasn't the best Bond, just that he played that character for like 30 years, starting with The Saint in the 60's.
Once you see him there, it's hard to see him as anything else.
Sarah Michelle Gellar will always be Buffy Summers to me.
I somehow missed Buffy growing up, so my first exposure was of her as Daphne in the Scooby Doo movie.
I think now that I've watched a lot of Buffy, those two balance out for me.
William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock in the early Startrek films and series.
Same for Brent Spiner as Data.
Lucy Lawless will forever be Xena the Warrior Princess.
She was great in BSG, although she didn't get many episodes.
Since 1995, I’ve always associated Ian McKellan with his iconic portrayal of Richard III.
Which colored my impression of Lord of the Rings a bit.
Now is the winter of our discontent, but that is not for us to decide....

Norman Reedus with forever have "and the funky fetus" after his name because of Death Stranding.
For me he's always gonna be a Boondock Saint.
Mac from IASIP. Saw his picture with his son and immediately got thinking 'place away this psycho from a child'
His plastic surgery made him look all strange, and he's pretty pretentious as a person too, and addicted to the Hollywood lifestyle. If you watched the interviews he given over the years you will know. Associating himself with Ryan Reynolds because he wanted the ted lasso fandom, and a famous retire American football star.
Even his fans on the isaip subreddit was thrown off by Rob and Kaitlyn appearances
All I could find was that he lifted his butt. Honestly, it's the most Mac choice and I can believe in whatever I want at any given moment based on the argument I'm trying to make
Danny Trejo is of course Machete (or Uncle Machete to the Spy Kids) - even if he does occasionally rangle Rancors or other roles.
(But only when I can see him. I had no idea he had that many voice roles until looking him up just now)
Sarah Jessica Parker is Carrie Bradshaw.
For me, it's David Tennant as The Doctor. It was very strange seeing him in Good Omens.
Easy... Arnold as Terminator.
Daniel Radcliffe.
After seeing Swiss Army Man, I can never not see him as a useful corpse. He nailed that role.
Idris Elba and Dominic West will always be Stringer Bell and Jimmy McNulty for me.

Ian McKellan is Gandalf, and I will fight anyone to the death who disagrees.

Ryan Reynolds Van Wilder
Young Guns will forever in my head have Jack Bauer in a leading role.
You mean Lost Boys vampire gang leader David?
Kind of obscure, but Brits of a certain age will always think of Alan Dale as "Jim from Neighbours". Another one being Guy Pearce as "Mike from Neighbours". Pearce has had a slightly bigger career than Dale maybe, but you've almost certainly seen them both in popular movies and TV shows.

Peter Lustig. But he also played himself and had full power over his show.
Martin Freeman as Bilbo
Til Schweiger as his arrogant asshole self
Prince will always be, for me, the guy who played Prince in Purple Rain.

Everyone from the Friends cast
Dude, Walter, Donnie and the Jesus from The Big Lebowski. Whenever I see Turturro play any other role, he's so bland and normal.
For me Turturro will always be Pete from Oh Brother, Where Art Thou.
“Do not… seek… the treasure.”
I think if you watch Severance, he does a really good job of changing your perspective, because I had the same feeling going into Severance, and now I feel different.

John Goodman will always be Dan from Rosanne for me. And Buscemi will always be Mr Pink 😁
