Christopher Heyerdahl is also Todd the Wraith on Stargate: Atlantis and one of the Volturi vampires in the Twilight movies, so you can pick and chose for which one you want to associate him with. Certainly many people in my generation would recognize him as Marcus the fancy vampire, but for me he’s Todd the Wraith.
I think you’re mixed up with Quantum Leap and Stargate: the main guy from Quantum Leap was the captain on Enterprise (Scott Bakula), while MacGyver went on to star in Stargate (Richard Dean Anderson).
Alan Rickman isn’t “known” for any one or two roles in particular. When you see Leonard Nimoy, you think “Spock.” When you see Alan Rickman, you think “Alan Rickman.”
I came here to mention Scott Bakula as Captain Archer and Murphy Brown’s boyfriend.
Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau and Chance from **Being There. ** Also his three roles in Dr. Strangelove.
Bill Murray as Carl the assistant groundskeeper from Caddyshack and Venkmen from **
Ghostbusters.**
Even though Susan Sarandon’s had a double handful of memorable roles, I’m willing to bet that the main two that people will mention when she dies are Janet Weiss from Rocky Horror and Louise from Thelma &.
Interesting how only like 2 actors with 90’s-00’s films were mentioned so far.
John Forsythe: Dynasty and Charlie’s Angels
Patrick Duffy: Man from Atlantis, Dallas
Larry Hagman: Dallas, I Dream of Jeannie
Tom Selleck: Magnum, Three Men and a/an X
Rick Moranis: Honey I shrunk the X, Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors
