Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones srs no other actor could have pulled it off like he has. It's a very unique role if you think about it. Not too serious, not too comedic, but still charming, witty, sophisticated and a bit goofy.

I actually think theres an alternate universe where liotta never does goodfellas and gets cast in the sopranos as tony. the whole role takes on a different angle (as liotta is more handsome, not fat). would be super interesting and honestly just as good in my opinion.
A svelte, handsome Tony Soprano? Totally different show.

sort of an old choice, but george c scott basically became more of Patton than Patton himself.

This. How can such a little manlet be so menacing.

You know it's kind of interesting that most of all of the main characters from Pilato's military group from "Day of the Dead" are dead in real life. And most of the people from the civilian group are still alive in real life.

Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in Fight Club. Couldn't imagine someone else playing either character and it being as good.

Joe Pesci in Casino (literally was the spitting image of Tony Spilatro and did an incredibly good acting performance).

Don Johnson as Big Daddy in Django, and David Simms in Tin Cup. Both roles nailed to perfection that I can’t imagine anybody else playing.

David Duchovny as Hank Moody. Quite possibly the greatest tv character in history.
