Iconic tv/movie characters

Was thinking about this particular one the other day and then this popped up...
-
Charlie Hunnam, is always Jax Teller from SOA.
-
One of the classic litmus-tests of "how old are you, and should I be fighting you?" - is Alan Rickman.
Do you think of him as Hans Gruber? The Sherriff of Nottingham? Or the guy who creeped on 'Arry Potter's mum? -
@Kruse Hans.
And speaking of Harry Potter, Daniel Radcliffe, you're a wizard bud

And poor old Elijah Wood - fair play with your attempt in Sin City, and whatever else you've done. But you're not kidding anyone. You're a fucking hobbit.

That guy who played the big dude James Bond baddie with the metal teeth. Yeah he was good in that but, he’ll always be known for being the giant fish that terrorised a generation in the late 1970s …

Yeah dude... none of that made any sense to me ...

I met Danny Dyer, on a film set, around the time he was in The Business.
You can all suck my dick now.

Eeew! No thanks, especially not seeing as it probably tastes of Danny Dyer's arse.
-
@Catogrande Well at least you referred to that arrangement of things.
-
@Catogrande BTW, how is Katie Hopkins these days?
-
@Tim said in Iconic tv/movie characters:

I've had dinner with Joanna Lumley.
I'll leave you two to compare dick size.
-

Broke and moved away. I’m safe for now.
-
@Catogrande you'll see her in latex yet
-
@Tim said in Iconic tv/movie characters:

It’s not that she can’t look good…

seriously? how was she, always thought she'd be one of the people that would be great to sit down and chat too
-
Was decades ago when I was helping out at a Variety Club event for kids and we all sat down for a post-event meal. She'd been doing the afternoon teas for us helpers.
Very much "girl next door" - normal, kind and genuine. Took the time to write a thank you note to my mate who had to miss the meal.
-
The other obvious test is Rambo or Rocky. It was Rambo for me.

A much better one is Han or Indy.
Not even an icon like Indy can match Han.

they're the same character with a different outfit
(they are also my two favourite movie characters of all time)

I think I've watched one and a half Potter films so I don't associate Radcliffe as only Harry as I've seen him in lots of varied roles.
Rocky over Rambo.
Han over Indy. -

They’re both up there. I can’t imagine Han Solo teaching at uni but aside from that it’s a good point.
Funny how Harrison can’t quite let go of them. I’m sure he doesn’t need the money.
I’m terrified at how shite the latest Indiana Jones movie will be given how bad the most recent one ( 15 years ago ! ) was…..

@Nepia has he been in THAT many other roles? i can think of a couple but nothing iconic
-
@MN5 said in Iconic tv/movie characters:
Would you believe my mother took me to see Silence of the lambs at the movies when I was 11 years old.... For TRs benefit it was the old Regent movie theatre in Whangarei.

I watched it recently with my boys ( 12 and 14 )
They found him “pretty creepy” for a relatively normal looking guy which I guess speaks volumes of his performance.
They also spent the next day singing “Goodbye Horses” and telling each other to put the fucken lotion in the basket.

He's in a tv show I like called Miracle Workers and I've seen him in the odd movie. The magician one, and the one where he played a corpse. Apparently he's good in the Weird Al movie but I haven't seen it as it's on Roku.
-
Timothy Oliphant.
Raylan Givens or Seth Bullock?
-
@Crucial said in Iconic tv/movie characters:

Another one where it's kinda the same character.
But I think, for me, he's Seth Bullock - who was therefore excellent casting for Raylan. -
Eggert or Anderson

Eggert.

@chimoaus Eggert for me is stuck as Jamie Powell from Charles in Charge
Pam has this one for me
-
Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes - the definitive portrayal. So good you wonder whether other actors bothered to read the books.
-
They made a hash of the Magnum PI reboot, far too woke sounding for me. Tom Selleck is the only Magnum PI
And there is only one MacGyver

Oh yeah! I’ve watched miracle workers…forgot it was him

I've never seen that portrayal... and that image is nothing like I imagine the character from the books.

Pretty much regarded as definitive - except for the beak-like nose.
Edward Hardwicke's Watson was spot-on as well in portraying him as the hardened, intelligent veteran capable of mixing it with the tough guys and not averse to shooting people if needed.

That's his city attire. The rural attire might be what you re imagining. The deer stalker and all, which he does don when out in th country.
