Hmmm, that does open things up a bit…digs through memories.
Not Harry Dean Stanton.
No.
How about his Alien co-star Yaphet Kotto?
Pretty sure he’s been an FBI agent.
(and Adam Baldwin has been an FBI agent [I think] and “space trucker” but truckers in space has been how the crew in Alien was described.)
That’s a winner - Alien, Brubaker, Blue Collar, and Midnight Run.

Probably way off, but Meryl Streep?
Not way off at all, you are correct, sir!
She played Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady
She voiced Mrs. Fox in The Fantastic Mr. Fox
She played the whistleblower/victim Silkwood in Silkwood
and in Death Becomes Her, her character makes a deal that keeps her young and beautiful, but seals her soul to her body. When she dies (heart stopped, blood not flowing, doesn’t heal), that doesn’t keep her from walking around. It’s a comedy.
Damn, coming up with a list was tougher than guessing. If someone hadn’t already used Heston, I would’ve had a dynamite one.
All right, here goes…
*Photographer
*Talk show host
*Real estate baron
*Devil
Assassin
Carpenter
Catholic priest/missionary
Knight
Richard Gere?
Nope.
Big hint: he’s not a native English speaker, though he has appeared in many American movies.
OK, without looking let me see if I can get this close enough.
Gerard Depardieu?
Antonio Banderas?
No to Depardieu and Banderas… shift your gaze a lot farther north.
Jack Nicholson?
He was a Devil in The Witches of Eastwick
He was a real estate entrepeneur (of sorts) in Mars Attacks (and maybe The King of Marvin Gardens)
No clue on the other two, though.
Here are the unsolved ones from the first three pages:

Just a complete shot in the dark: Harry Morgan?
You may have it- he was the Scopes Trial judge in Inherit the WInd, he was the marshall in The Shootist…
