I can’t believe no one’s said it yet:
**Hugo Weaving ** is, and will always be, Agent Smith.
Watching the LOTR movies was VERY unsettling for me: “Why is Agent Smith wearing those ears? Why isn’t everyone scared of him? Where’s his earpiece?”
And perhaps V for Vendetta had its other flaws, but someone told me Weaving was playing “V”, and I couldn’t think of anything else for the whole film… “When’s he gonna say ‘MISter Anderson’?”
Jeremy Brett is the only Sherlock Holmes for me.
Alec Guiness is the only George Smiley for me.

Very troubling, indeed.
Frodo, I hate this ring, this zoo, this prison. It is the smell. Every time I taste its stink, I think I have been infected

Damn it!! I read everything, and did a search for “Hugo”! I maintain that Sapo is conspiring against me with a time machine.
Who needs a time machine when you are an agent capable of manipulating the rules of the simulation? You are still thinking too small. You think that’s air you are breathing?

Wrong. Stuart Margolin will always be Angel. 
… and James Garner will always be Jim Rockford, even when he’s Bret Maverick.
Nathon Fillion will always be Captain Malcolm Reynolds. I watched him in Waitress, and it was a good film and he was good in it. But every time his doctor’s coat moved, I expected to see the pistol holster strapped to his leg.
Kyle MacLachlan = Dale Cooper
As well as agent Smith being in Rivendell, Sarumon had Billy Bibbitt working on the king of Rohan for him.
As you can see the Eye of Mordor has been on you for some time now, Mr. Baggins.
With regard to Nathan Fillion, I’ve been waiting for a chance to watch Saving Private Ryan again just to see “James Frederick Ryan, Serenity Valley.” Still, as compelling as the characters on Firefly were, Adam Baldwin will always be Major Mitchell from Area 51. “What yer father did was real brave, son. You should be ruttin’ proud of him.”
Also, like River Hippie said, Willem Dafoe will always be Sgt. Elias for me, just as John Berenger is forever Sgt. Barnes.
And the Walter Sobchak role completely washed any trace of Dan Conner off of John Goodman for me.
You mean Jeff Bridges?
It took me a long time to see Dustin Hoffman as anyone other than Raymond Babbitt.
No, I mean… dammit! I do that a lot, and seeing as how The Big Lebowski might be my favorite movie, it really pisses me off.
Shows what you know. LeVar Burton was always Kunta Kinte years before he was always Geordi LaForge.
For me it’s the exact opposite. I can’t take him seriously.
“What do I look like to you? The fucking night watchman?”
“No, you look like the fucking oatmeal guy. Dufus.”
Incidentally, Patrick Stewart did an excellent job of portraying a (non-raving) murderous, psychopathic Imperial counselor in “I, Claudius”. Sejanus was badass.
Last night I saw the 2005 remake of King Kong. It was hard to take Jack Black seriously as a troubled filmmaker. I kept expecting him to say something really snobby or obscure about music after having seen the movies High Fidelity and School of Rock so many times.
Dan Haggerty is Grizzly Adams.
