August 7, 20187 yr Author there's a whole bunch of answers in here that are naming popular roles that could have been played by any number of actors. way too many to quote.
August 8, 20187 yr Robert Duvall in pretty much everything. Great Santini, Godfather I & II, Apocalypse Now, Lonesome Dove, Tender Mercies, The Apostle, and for a change of pace, Colors with the no-talent Sean Penn. I was an extra in Tender Mercies... /csb Both of them

Fast Eddie could have maybe been a very short list of a couple guys, but damned if Newman wasn't amazing. Cool hand Luke would be my choice for his career in the perfect role.

August 8, 20187 yr And in honor of Robert Redford retiring I submit the greatness of Jeremiah Johnson. You young guys that haven’t seen this masterpiece, do yourself a favor...

You young guys that haven’t seen this masterpiece, do yourself a favor... A movie I saw in the theater when I was 12 or so. I was ready to put on the buckskins and head out west. Asked for a Hawkins for about 3 Christmas's never did get one. Penneys sold a Hawkins build a gun kit I think. Definitely my favorite movie as a kid, and still one of my top 10 favorites. That was a perfect role for him then for damn sure Edited August 8, 20187 yr by Onboard 2.0

August 8, 20187 yr I will second the cast for The Greatest Showman. Watched this yesterday and they were great. Also I don't think there has ever been a better reboot cast than this one...... Oh and this "Guy" was pretty good also.....

August 8, 20187 yr Paul GiamattiSaving Private Ryan (Sgt Hill)Private PartsJohn Adams (seconded)Sideways
August 9, 20187 yr The Star Trek reboot cast is a great call. I like that some are obvious replications (Bones, Spock, Scotty, Chekhov (RIP)) while others have their own spin (Kirk, Uhura, Sulu). Bonus points for throwing in Alice Eve.
August 10, 20187 yr there's a whole bunch of answers in here that are naming popular roles that could have been played by any number of actors. way too many to quote. While this is true, the thread isn’t called “roles that could only have been played by ....”. So just go with it. Or better yet, start a thread called “iconic roles that could have been just as kick ass with another actor playing it”.

August 10, 20187 yr Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister. Just think if that part were played Warrick Davis or some shit. From the above post, Verne Troyer as Tyrion. Kinda awesome.

August 13, 20187 yr Brad Pitt was perfect in Snatch. Coincidentally I believe my avatar may have been in a movie of the same title.....
August 13, 20187 yr People listing Denzel parts. That guy is awesome in everything. Has he ever done a bad movie?
August 14, 20187 yr People listing Denzel parts. That guy is awesome in everything. Has he ever done a bad movie? Ricochet is really terrible. His worst movie. But he’s awesome in everything.
August 15, 20187 yr Paul Newman in “The Verdict” And about 90% of the other movies he did. Same for Steve McQueen.
August 15, 20187 yr Everything he did was gold. EVERYTHING. Would be considered an all-timer had cancer not ended him too early. Perfect example of an actor who makes the role - he often stole scenes despite being a secondary character. (Probably not a great casting, but a stellar actor who makes directors look good regardless of the role.)My list of actors and performances that define the character:F. Murray Abraham (and lifetime Longhorn) - Salieri, Amadeus (takes a villain without arc and infuses depth and sympathy in one of the most masterful performances ever to the point that another actor, Hulce, with a clumsy and trite performance gets elevated to an Oscar nomination just for being within Abraham's Salieri gravity sphere)Tim Curry - Frankenfurter, Rocky Horror Picture Show (good luck getting ANYONE else to turn in a comparable performance)Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool, Deadpool (there is no movie, much less franchise, without this casting)

August 15, 20187 yr My list of actors and performances that define the character:Hulce, with a clumsy and trite performance gets elevated to an Oscar nomination just for being within Abraham's Salieri gravity sphere)Hulce was amazing as well. He played him as a manic depressive, whimsical then sullen. Joyful, then cruel, finally leading to the tragic conclusion. You could make the argument that Abraham was the lead, with Hulce the supporting actor. But to disparage Pinto’s is off the mark.
