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.
Excellent answer, particularly Alan Robinson/Jim Dale. Or whatever :-)
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.
Jaleel White is forever Steve Urklel.
Alfonso Ribeiro is Carlton.
Alfonso Ribeiro will always be FADDER!
SPEAK UP, WE CAN’T HEAR YOU.

Kenneth Parcel’s mom’s new friend Ron
Now, Kenneth, I’m just tryin’ to replace your dad.
Claire Foy as Lady Percy in the Upstairs, Downstairs reboot. Seeing her play the queen just felt so wrong, lol.
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)
Ian McKellan is Gandalf, and I will fight anyone to the death who disagrees.
He has done quite a few iconic roles though
True, but I would argue that none are as widely recognized as Gandalf.
I just dont want to be murdered so tried to convey that I don’t disagree just want to add that he has a great portfolio
I will stay my Hammer of Vengeance just this once…and agree that he is a very accomplished and talented actor…who just happens to be Gandalf, not Ian McKellan. ;)
Magneto?
While he did a decent job with Magneto, I would say that his Gandalf is far more recognized.

Lucy Lawless will forever be Xena the Warrior Princess.
She was great in BSG, although she didn’t get many episodes.
Spartacus too.
Oh yes she was! 😈
Easy… Arnold as Terminator.
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.
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
Norman Reedus with forever have “and the funky fetus” after his name because of Death Stranding.
Surely you meant Darryl Dixon?
Surely you meant Murphy McManus?
LOL, nailed me on that one!
For me he’s always gonna be a Boondock Saint.
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
