[Charlie Foley]

Sylvester Stallone as Rocky, plays the role perfectly.

What are some other examples?

Was that a casting choice? Didn’t he pick himself? And write it?

It’s more about who fits the role perfectly, I’m not so fussy about technicalities.

 

[matherto]

Nicholas Cage in just about every film he's been in because nobody else could be him.

 

[RedPed]

Pretty much all of the Back to the Future cast was damn near perfect too.

 

[Garethw]

Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison in the Doors movie.

 

[Garethw]

Arnie as the terminator.

 

[Twins]

Gerard Butler in geostorm was an inspired casting.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

The whole cast of Parks and Recreation is pretty much perfect. You can't imagine anyone else playing any of the characters. Maybe Ann and Mark would be fairly interchangeable as they're fairly bland filler characters (and they wrote Mark out pretty quickly anyway) but they nailed everyone else. Even the recurring characters like Jean Ralphio, Dr Harris, Jeremy Jamm, they're all spot on.

 

[diarm]

Whoever the actor is who plays David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) in Mindhunter. I don't think I've ever seen an actor look like and play a real person more perfectly:

 

[Organic Potatoes]

Timothy Olyphant - Justified

Naomi Watts - Mulholland Drive

Edit: inspired by @diarm above, Kemper in Mindhunter.

 

[JB08]

Al Pacino as Tony Montana, perfection.

 

[DavidDeSchmikes]

Ryan Reynolds- Deadpool

 

[SteveJ]

Pacino as Michael Corleone. Starts off boyish and full of life; later, you can virtually see how the soul and joy has bled out of him:

 

[George Owen]

Al Bundy - Al Bundy

Ian McShane - Al Swearengen

 

[esmufc07]

John Malkovich - Being John Malkovich

 

[Van Piorsing]

Bela Lugosi - Dracula

Alan Rickman - Sheriff of Nothingam

Michelle Pfeiffer - Catwoman

Gary Oldman - Almost very movie with him as villain

 

[Heardy]

Cilian Murphy - Thomas Shelby.

Johnny Depp - Captain Jack Sparrow.

 

[SteveJ]

Further...

Talia Shire as Connie Corleone: in Shire's hands, Connie effectively becomes Michael's bride of Dracula - egging him on in his murders, her bloodlust fuelled by her own frustrations and, essentially, self-contempt.

 

[BusbyMalone]

Mickey Rooney in Breakfast At Tiffany's
