Vote up the actors who personified their film roles.
Sometimes the universe aligns and the perfect actor nabs the perfect part, creating an iconic character for all to enjoy. Over on Reddit, people are sharing their opinions on actors who were a perfect fit for the part they played. Vote up the actor who brought pure perfection to the part.
He’s also hands down my favorite character in Armageddon. Michael Clarke Duncan is a treasure and we lost him too early. He was literally known for fans wanting hugs from him instead of photos.
100% agree. When I first heard they were turning this into a movie I was so disappointed because I couldn’t imagine who could fill John Coffey’s shoes. I was wrong. He was absolutely incredible and what I pictured in my head when I first read the book.
Ermey was originally just a consultant on that movie. He impressed the director so much demonstrating how drill instructors act that he just cast him instead of having him train the actor.
