How about Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates?

 

[Qui-Gon John]

James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano

 

[Jason Seaver]

Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes.

(Once, in an interview, Brett was asked if he were worried about being typecast after playing Holmes so long. He just smiled, and said he wouldn't mind being remembered as a genius)

Similarly, David Suchet as Hercule Poirot

Good Choice, Jason. Jeremy Brett was awesome as Sherlock Holmes.

Hey, no one mentioned Julie "The Hills are Alive" Andrews?
And when I say "Dracula", I see Christopher Lee (sorry Bela) and vice versa.
Boris Karloff is the Monster (they even sell his mask).
Peter Cushing as Sherlock Holmes.
Alec Guinness is George Smiley (forget about Obi).
The man with the name Clint Eastwood is.. you guess it.
Very good previous roles notwithstanding, Marlin Brando is the Godfather (if he doesn't like that, he should have refused the offer).
John Wayne is... well, ... John Wayne, if you see what I mean.
Harrison Ford is Han Solo/Indiana Jones. They sort of melt together in my mind. No, not the characters, the guy. I hope I make myself clear.
Sean Connery will stay James Bond forever. (Is a perfect title for a new JB film: Forever and the Day.)
Julia Roberts will always be a Pretty Woman .
