every character in “Doctor Sleep”

a remarkably amazing flick

and a fairly tough casting job pulled off impressively well

Lots of great choices already offered.

Surprised that Ellis "Red" Redding has not been mentioned. I think that the entire Shawshank Redemption cast was perfect.

The story is Fiennes met one of Schindler's Jews on the set of the movie in between takes while he was still in uniform.

He looked so much like the real Goeth that the woman involuntarily trembled with fear....

Negative.

Jack Nicholson is like John Wayne & Christopher Walken—these guys always play themselves in a version of a character.

Heath Ledger, the actor from “10 things I hate about you” & “The Patriot” as well as his other movies, completely vanished in his role as The Joker.

Jack Nicholson is always Jack Nicholson.

As GD typically taunts:

Prove me wrong.

Bazinga! You can’t!

Exactly right! Just as Samuel L. Jackass simply plays Samuel L. Jackass in every movie (and commercial) role he's in.

There are several well cast actors in that movie.  

Gary Oldman positively disappears into his role.  

Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper play their perfect selves for a scene.

Christian Slater, however, was born to play Kuffs and Heathers.

This film produced the single greatest line to come from film.

When he answers the question of “how do you write women so well?”

“I think of a man, then take away reason and accountability.”

Brilliant. True. Indisputable.

Heath Ledger in A Knights Tale, also Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer.  Rufus Sewell as Count Adhemar.

Lily Collins was born to play Emily in Paris.  Lucas Bravo as the chef and Bruno Gourey as Luc and everybody else are excellent too.

Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman in Leon the Professional.

Rufus Sewell in The Man in a High Castle.

Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman, Jonathan Banks as Mike Ehrmantraut.  S' all good man.

Everybody in Downton Abbey.

Everybody in Modern Family.  Everybody.

All the posts above have it correct too.

Denzel Washington as Malcom X in Malcom X. He looked just like him.

The 1998 version of Les Miserables with Liam Neeson as Jean Valjean has a great cast.

I never read any of the GoT books but I would all the actors cast in that did great jobs. It was too bad Dumb and Dumber screwed everyone in the end.

1883 received a lot of hate on ARF but I will say the acting in it was top notch.

I did not read the book so I am not sure how faithful the movie was to it but Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall did an AMAZING job in The Shining.
