How many actors have become well-known for truly iconic rolls in more than one film franchise? I don't want to include the Marvel/DC stuff as (a) they're not really iconic and (b) there's so many of them. Let's kick off with the few I could think of, off the top of my head:

Harrison Ford: Han Solo (Star Wars), Indiana Jones (Um, Indiana Jones)
Silvester Stallone: Rocky and Rambo
Clint Eastwood: The Man With No Name, Dirty Harry
Christopher Lee: Hammer stuff, Star Wars prequels, Lord Of The Rings, and probably a lot more
Sigourney Weaver: Ripley (Alien), and (pushing it) Dana Barrett (Ghostbusters)

Over to you...

And I really meant that the actor would reprise their role throughout the franchise, so for me examples such as Christian Bale in Terminator and Arnie in Predator don't work. But some good ones here! It's noticable that things don't get much older than the 70s, I guess we simply didn't see so many sequels before then.

I'll pearoast this to clarify as I'm sure, for some, it's on the previous page.
