What are some actors that you can only ever remember by a specific character they played, and not by their actual name?

I rarely ever do that, I always watch the credits and read their names.

That guy that was the prosecutor in My Cousin Vinney

ragingloli? Although sometimes I think of it as “loli” for short.

Jerry Seinfeld…har har

Flo, the Progressive insurance shill.

Harry Potter was good in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

Wednesday.

Ashley Wilkes. I remember the character name from Gone With the Wind, but no recollection of the actor.

^^ Leslie Howard I believe.

Because—like me—you’re shit at remembering or caring to remember people’s names.

House.
Can’t remember his real name, but most people who were fans of the show know who you’re talking about.

@chyna Hugh Laurie.

He’s far more famous in the UK for his role in the Blackadder comedy series.

The guy who played Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series. Funny as hell but I could never recall his name.

The guy who was continuously being depicted as a cheapskate who couldn’t play the violin. on the Jack Benny show.

I have a bunch of them!!! I usually remember the character’s name & then work to remember the movie’s name. Then I go into thinking about the movie name staring*...* Most of the time I pull out the actor’s name. Yes, it’s the long way around but it works most of the time !!!

Professor Macgonical, though I know I did even worse by not remembering how to spell her name.
Maybe she should help me with my spell?

I tend to ignore most recent celebrities and their names. I will never forget that James T. Kirk is WILLIAM SHATNER (damn it!) and not the dude in the new teenage-punk JJ Abrams reboot version.

That’s a long list.

Jack Nicholson. Most to all of his characters are named Jack. He was Jack Napier in Batman. Also bill and ted the one who wasn’t Kenu Reeves

Hans Landa

Adolf Hitler
