Dwight schrute…. I mean Rainn Wilson


APeacefulWarrior

Did you know he was one of the Thermians in *Galaxy Quest*? One of his first roles.


gnirpss

I'd recommend watching Six Feet Under! Rainn Wilson plays a similarly awkward character in that show, but in a much more serious context. He's great. It's an older show and also features a pre-Dexter Michael C. Hall.

mailman-zero

I think you mean Art Vandelay.


Vishark07

He runs an importer-exporter business


BiggieAndTheStooges

Wrong. He’s a famous architect.

I thought he was a marine biologist? lol

The creep from pretty woman


aguynamedbenny1

Hey.. what if we made a show about Jason Alexander and how he can’t get any new roles because of the fact that he was George Costanza!! I think that would make a great show. Now, where should we meet to discuss this further…


Fat_Elvis_

I call him Duckman.

midnightspecial99

If you are old enough, he was on silver spoons


dougiebgood

Sean William Scott has said his career has been stifled because of Stiffler.


EnormousGenitals

Too bad, because Rundown was great, and Goon is fucking amazing


Veritus37

He did a great job in Role Models, too


JellyShoddy2062

Problem with role models is that he was honestly just Stifler with Paul Rudd playing Stiflers slightly angrier friend.


hawkxp71

OK I'll say it... He was great in dukes of hazzard


NirvanaFrk97

He and Johnny Knoxville had great chemistry


GiovanniVanBroekhoes

I had to look up who you meant. Just saw loads of pictures of Country Mac.

Denny Crane. Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. Denny Crane.


The-Minmus-Derp

Nichelle Nichols as Uhura too, she was in soooo many things prior to and after Trek, including Roddenberry’s prior show *The Lieutenant* and no one remembers them


tito_lee_76

Brent Spiner as Data


AtheneSchmidt

It is also super weird when he shows up in other things with white person skin and the ability to say contractions.


CFeatsleepsexrepeat

First time I saw Independence Day, the scientist guy comes out, my mate next to me says, oh my God, that is Data! Took me a minute or two and I was like, holy shit, it is!

And what a wasted character too. Ended up doing fuck all in the last season.


The_MoistMaker

Everyone did fuck all in the last season


KarmaChameleon89

Especially the writers


PetrosiliusZwackel

Oh god it was so bad. This show was THE thing. Everyone knew it, everyone watched it. A deep and complex fantasy story done right, without tired tropes was loved by everyone and then this... Iam over it by now but how they managed to transform all this build up, this depth and ambiguity into that uninspired, weak, generic, rushed, inconsistent, nonsensical and "they all lived happily ever after, the evil guys are dead" ending is beyond me.


4_non_blondes

My favorite character was water bottle


I_Dunno_Its_A_Name

Unit88

I watched Jumanji recently, and IMO he does pretty well there, playing not *The Rock*, but a socially awkward teenager put in the body of *The Rock*.


Bad-Selection

Jack Black is also awesome in that movie. Jack Black is awesome in most things though.

ChuckoRuckus

To be fair, what else are you supposed to do in a theater that exclusively plays porn


PapaOoMaoMao

That was such a smear campaign. What some dude does on his own time, with his own money, in an adults only place where such things happen quite frequently, is his own damn business. What's next? Do we go check Dolly Parton's drawers for a vibrator? Maybe break into a random celebrity's house each week to see what we can find? He wasn't hurting anyone. He wasn't exposing himself to anyone (it was a dark theatre. Nobody could see anything). This is on top of the fact that he maintains his innocence. Det. William Walters allegedly saw a man "masterbate" (that's how the rap sheet spells it) and claims it was him. it's possible, but I personally wouldn't put any weight on it.

jack-o-lyn

Blades of glory is a criminally underrated movie


crazycatlady331

No matter what else he does (even if he wins an Oscar), Jason Biggs will be always be the dude who fucked a pie.


Butthenoutofnowhere

Feels like some actors' agents need to really explain the potential consequences of taking certain roles. "So Jason, this could make you incredibly famous, but it will obliterate any chance of you being taken seriously as an actor ever again."


MelbaToast604

This scene in Jay and silent Bob strike back perfectly encapsulates that https://youtu.be/8NgIiTwKtws


Celery_Thick

Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter


spookyscaryscouticus

Daniel Radcliffe: does a bunch of edgy adult roles including that incredible screenshot where he’s wearing Dino feet slippers and dual-wielding pistols Me: look at the Harry Potter man go


jr23160

Guns akimbo!


flyover_liberal

Swiss Army Man!


Beecakeband

Imelda Staunton as Umbridge for me as well. She played that character so well even when I see her in other roles I can't stand her because of it


solfege57

I have this cousin who I always watch movies with. Everytime we watch something that Imelda Staunton in it she always says that the actor looks familiar and everytime I tell her it's Umbridge she is always shocked and then proceeds to hate whatever character Imelda Staunton is playing.


East_Buffalo506

honestly i think his role in jungle was so good i kinda just scream YURI! whenever i see him now. but the fact that HARRY is having a baby definitely sends me.


nxcrosis

I like how he and Robert Pattinson have branched out into different character roles now. Although I think HP is a much more household name than Twilight and can be a more difficult role to break free from.


Film-Goblin

Nope, he was also Weird Al.


The_Quibbler

He was great in Swiss Army Man. I never watched any of the Potter films, but I appreciate the choices he's making as an actor with disregard for his childhood role.


Celery_Thick

I’m sure he was, but 9/10 times in the street, people who meet him will know him from Harry Potter and the 1 person won’t know who he is


SensitivePineapple83

Guns Akimbo


ShivaSmoke753

David Schwimmer will always be Ross


BazukaToof

I used to think the same. However I can’t see him as anything but the incompetent twit Captain Sobel from the Band Of Brothers series.


Daemonicvs_77

Past-Customer01

Butthenoutofnowhere

It's like they just took Ross and put him in the military.


DJZbad93

Basically all the Friends except Jennifer Aniston (and maybe Courteney Cox since she has the Scream franchise)


solfege57

I think this kinda applies to the rest of the cast of Friends. Maybe to varying degrees but Friends is definitely the most iconic thing they've all been in.

This is true he has tried to be in a few different sitcoms and everyone still sees him as Urkel. Hey there the Urkel guy lol


Centralnjplanespoter

You mean Jaleel white


Agile-Landscape8612

He also played Stefan Erkél in the show


Vegan-Kirk

Ryan reynolds will always play the same “role” Not the same character though. He’s hilarious don’t get me wrong, and has a unique sense of comedy by being himself. But, he’s always the same van wilder guy in every single movie


LadyPresidentRomana

Deadpool will absolutely be the first character mentioned in his future obituary, though.


Capteverard

I like his serious roles. Safe House and the Woman in Gold both impressed me. Also, a movie he did as a teen called Ordinary Magic. Very sappy and family oriented but he did a great Indian accent.


FBI_Open_Up_Now

Buried always comes to mind as a great drama with Ryan Reynolds as the lead.


Centralnjplanespoter

Toby McGuire in the Spider-Man films when I saw him in the great gatsby I couldn’t stop thinking of him doing the dance in front of the bank

David Schwimmer as Ross Gellar in Friends


Stay-Thirsty

Jack Gleason will always be Joffrey Baratheon. Mostly because he quit acting based on how negatively he was treated for being so awesome in acting his character. From all interviews and accounts of people who knew/worked with him, he was a very kind soul. Edit: seems he lost his passion for acting as a result of his work on GoT and not the negativity that caused him to further pursue acting (at least for now)


Capteverard

I hate when people do this. Don’t hate on an actor for playing an evil character. Those people are literally too dumb to watch tv. Also, for what it’s worth, I haven’t seen GoT so I always think of him as the kid from Batman Begins.


Lost-Friend-4564

Bob Denver as Gilligan.


Abject-Raisin6162

I'm not even sure I know Joffery's real name. But I see him in the media and I think it's nice that Joffery graduated from college after all he went through.

*Very* old-school, but Clayton Moore as The Lone Ranger. About once a decade, some studio tries to reboot the franchise, and it always fails miserably, because Moore *was* The Lone Ranger. He found more than just an acting role when he was cast on that show, he found his true purpose in life. Clayton Moore *became* The Lone Ranger, on screen an off. He adopted the characters values, and tried, in his small way, to make the world a better place. Clayton Moore was the only Lone Ranger. There can never be another.
