    Ah here, this is getting ridiculous. Iron Man has definitely not consumed Downey Jrs career, he's insanely successful regardless of that.

    Michael Richards as Cosmo Kramer in Seinfeld! I don't think he's had anything even approaching the success that show has had.
    He`ll be happy you remember that instead of that stand up incident.

    Laurie was in Blackadder too, completely different character so he has the range,

    And I find it very hard to see him as house for this reason, my brain gets confused.

    David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will forever be known as Mulder & Scully.

    Nah, not for me. I've seen them both in things since where it didn't cross my mind. Especially Gillian Anderson who can make herself look quite different.

    Mark Hamill springs to mind.

    He is a an excellent Voice Actor for computer games and cartoons, most recently The Joker in Batman: Arkam Asylum. He's a big name in the Voice Acting scene.

    Zack Morris. I'd say most people don't even know his real name.

    85% of these suggestions are rubbish but the lowlights are Christopher Lee and Robert Downey Jr.

    I thought Nicholas Lyndhurst was very wooden in New Tricks. The best ever episode was the previous one with Brian and Esther playing sleuths. Should be given a show of their own.

    Luke Dillon is always Blackie Connors
    Pete Ferguson always Rev. George
    And Esther Roche still Minah Timlin

    Natalie Cassidy - Sonia Fowler in Eastenders.

    To me, its people like her that are true examples of a character consuming your career. She will always be known as Sonia to a lot of people and has said she can't walk down the street without people shouting "Sonia, where's your trumpet" etc. at her...

    S'pose Jimmy Cagney with the though guy/gangster character he played in a lot of movies. He preferred doing singing & dancing.
