Gene Wilder - Willie Wonka

Johnny Depp - as Jack Sparrow

Anthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lecter

Sean Connery - James Bond

Patrick Swayze - as Johnny in Dirty Dancing

My first thought was Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, esp in the first Godfather movie.

And Jimmy Stewart-It's a Wonderful LIfe.

So many really.

Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible movies. Quite impressive as he does his own stunts. I have some issues with him in real life but he is an excellent actor, IMO.
