Damien Lewis - Band of Brothers

That reminds me David Schwimmer was in that but all I could see was Dr. Ross Geller from FREINDS

Owen Wilson always plays Owen Wilson in everything he's in so it's hard to see him as anything else when his acting repertoire only consists of 1 character.

David Duchovny (things are getting strange I'm starting to worry, this could be a case for......)




Funnily enough his co star, not so much.

Californication you mean? I loved that show. I did watch x files but I still only see duchovny as Hank Moody.

I always associate Steve Carrell with Michael Scott from The Office: An American Workplace. I watched The Big Short last night, and his character is basically angry Michael Scott. The Morning Show was a bit jarring though!

Nicolas Cage

Was never able to de-couple that aerobics scene with her later work.

Barbara Windsor, on the other hand...

See also - Jason Statham!

For me it's Gary Cole. I'm enjoying his performance in the latest series of NCIS but am still confused that he doesn't end every episode with "Goodnight America; wherever you are"

Denis Waterman, write the theme tune sing the theme tune...

He's always Gru for me.

This fella doesn't seem to change characters too often

Same here. He does a lot of voice overs in commercials and I immediately think of Finch.

I always want to turn the adverts off when he comes on. I can't watch the shows he narrates either.

He was a room mate of one of my closest friends at Princeton where he was in on a baseball scholarship. Long before he became an actor and they are still close today.

George Cole too, he did some excellent work but Arthur Daley is what he seems to be remembered for.

Greatest TV series ever made, though I am also very happy to associate him with Wall Street, my favourite film of all time.
