Which Actor CRUSHED a Role So HARD, No One Would Ever Live Up to It?

[ Edited ]

Okay folks.... off the top of my head here are a few that I don't think anyone could do it better.   Continue to add, if you think of some more. 

 

Gene Wilder - Willie Wonka

Johnny Depp - as Jack Sparrow

Anthony Hopkins - Hannibal Lecter

Sean Connery - James Bond

Patrick Swayze - as Johnny in Dirty Dancing
