Robert Duvall in pretty much anything he's been in.  Morgan Freeman in Shawshank.

Not that he's a great actor, but can you picture anyone other than Tom Cruise as Maverick?

GOT was pretty well cast in general.

Edit: Couple good suggestions as I read the thread

John Candy in uncle buck
Ermey in FMJ (Probably the most spot of cast of all time)
David Spade Joe dirt
John Reilly and Ferrel in step brothers.

If I had to pick 3:

Les Grossman
Hanks in SPR
Cleon

Ian McShane as Al Swearingen and Garrett Dillihunt as both his characters in Deadwood. I don’t know that I could be civil with Dillihunt if I met him due to his portrayal of Wolcott.

Really the whole cast killed it, though.

Agreed on McShane. I like Dillihunt but I really, really don't like that they cast him for two characters.

Jeff Bridges made a terrific Big Lebowski, and John Goodman was a fantastic Walter Sobchak. And Steve Buscemi nailed the role of Donnie.

Pretty much the whole cast of The Big Lebowski nailed their roles. I wish we would have gotten more Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Brant in that show.

Gary Oldman is perfectly cast in all his roles...one of the best of his generation

You have a good range of actors who define a single role as themselves.  There's a few, like RDJ and Ford, who have two or three roles they have effectively defined as theirs.  But Oldman sets the definition for basically every role he plays.

He was fantastic in Rocky.
I was hard not to think of him as 'The Penguin;, until I saw him in Rocky.
After that I started paying attention to all of his roles.
A fantastic character actor.

I'd say that Ralph Fiennes best character that was perfectly cast was Amon Goethe in Schindler's list. Just a stellar performance as a vile character.

Came here to say Ledger as the Joker.

But I remembered back when Jack Nicholson was the greatest Joker, and Ledger was the absolute worst casting of all time. Everyone was so angry about it.

Then everyone saw Ledger as the Joker, and now his name is posted in this thread over and over.

Maybe someone else could have done it well too or maybe just because I love the movie but I thought Michael Biehn nailed it as Kyle Reese, hard driven time travelling lone soldier in The Terminator. Really hammered the lines home when when it counted.
