roles actors were born to play

[The Mask]

stemming off from my adrien brody thread, which roles do you think actors have taken which they were basically born to play. they don't necessarily have to be serious roles either.

adrien brody - wladyslaw szpilman
christian bale - patrick bateman
heath ledger - the joker
arnie - the terminator

[Fignuts]

Patrick Stewart- Professor X

[Lock Jaw]

Ian McKellen - Gandalf

[ron the dial]

robert englund - freddy krueger

[CSL]

Bruce Willis - John McClane
Tom Cruise - Jerry Maguire
Cuba Gooding Jr. - Tre Styles
James Gandolfini - Tony Soprano
John C. McGinley - Dr. Percival Ulysses Cox
Terry O'Quinn - John Locke
John Cleese - Basil Fawlty

[Rob Ban Fan]

<font color="#ff6600">Al Pacino - Michael Corleone.

Watching the screen tests for the other actors that were considered is ridiculous, especially James Caan's one.</font>

[Triple Naitch]

Jeremy Piven - Ari Gold

[The Franchise]

Bill Murray - Carl Spackler
Jason Alexander - George Costanza

[El Fangel]

Johnny Depp is great as Jack Sparrow but I'd say George Jung, Ed Wood and especially Hunter S. Thompson first.
