I'm totally stoked to report that on their latest episode the Savants gave their take on this very post!

In the FINAL THOUGHTS section of the post I reference the fact that Ghostbusters has two mentions on the list... but it doesn't. I had in my mind to add Peter Venkman as Bill Murray's alternate (as Ugly points out here). Further evidence that that choice was VERY close in my mind.

This list is just my "who do you think of first". Certainly not to say that these actors don't have other incredible roles. Totally agree with you on Venkman (would have been another honorable mention if I chose to include more than one per actor). One that I didn't include (cause quite frankly I couldn't think of an Honorable Mention) was Christopher Reeve. Dude IS Superman. Ugly – yes. This list is just my “who do you think of first”.

Harrison ford is han Solo,and Dr Jones.. but he has also been jack Ryan and the President in air force one... Bill murray also has Peter Venkman Sean Connery has his charatcer from Untouchables (which he won an academy award) Marlon Brando is On the Waterfront Heath ledger had Brokeback Mountain Tom Hanks has tons.. including Woody from Toy Story Sigourney and Hammill are the only ones I pretty much associate with those characters. Ripley and Skywalker Newman had too many also.. cool hand luke, fast eddie felson, butch cassidy, etc... it is an interesting topic though, cause a lot of actors can never escape the role that made them famous. chewie, I might disagree with a lot of your list..but I might be confused.. are you saying these are the characters you immediately think of when you hear these names?

it is an interesting topic though, cause a lot of actors can never escape the role that made them famous.

I'm a HUGE Superman fan. Agree with you though that Apocalypse and Waterfront were outstanding performances. This was just the first 10 that came to mind. Looking back I'd definitely have Newman (The Sting) and Redford (The Natural) on the list as well. You still in Indy? Jeff – what can I say… I’m a HUGE Superman fan.

His 30 minutes or so in apocalypse now trump that. Even more so is his turn in <i>On the Waterfront</i>, cinema iconography to say the least. Agree on Ford and Murray... Sad to see no mention of Paul Newman who literally defined every role he was ever in. P.S. Cleveland Sucks!
