Sarah Michelle Gellar will always be Buffy Summers to me.
21 0 ReplyI somehow missed Buffy growing up, so my first exposure was of her as Daphne in the Scooby Doo movie.
I think now that I've watched a lot of Buffy, those two balance out for me.

Roger Moore as Bond - he wasn't the best Bond, just that he played that character for like 30 years, starting with The Saint in the 60's.

Danny Trejo is of course Machete (or Uncle Machete to the Spy Kids) - even if he does occasionally rangle Rancors or other roles.

6 0 ReplyMac from IASIP. Saw his picture with his son and immediately got thinking 'place away this psycho from a child'
7 0 ReplyHis plastic surgery made him look all strange, and he's pretty pretentious as a person too, and addicted to the Hollywood lifestyle. If you watched the interviews he given over the years you will know. Associating himself with Ryan Reynolds because he wanted the ted lasso fandom, and a famous retire American football star.
Even his fans on the isaip subreddit was thrown off by Rob and Kaitlyn appearances

5 0 ReplyKind of obscure, but Brits of a certain age will always think of Alan Dale as "Jim from Neighbours". Another one being Guy Pearce as "Mike from Neighbours". Pearce has had a slightly bigger career than Dale maybe, but you've almost certainly seen them both in popular movies and TV shows.
4 0 ReplyExcellent answer, particularly Alan Robinson/Jim Dale. Or whatever :-)
