I love him and his movies but he’s always the same character.

I would say that George Clooney was a brilliant casting decision...but not obvious at the time. Prior to O Brother...the closest comedic role he had was in From Dusk Till Dawn or Three Kings. The guy had been freaking Batman 3 years prior. Casting him as Everett in O Brother, is just another sign of how brilliant the Cohen brothers actually are.

Single Cell producers Michael Stipe and Sandy Stern pitched the film to numerous studios, including New Line Cinema, who dropped the project after chairman Robert Shaye asked: "Why the frick can't it be Being Tom Cruise?". Jonze recalled that Malkovich asked the same question, and that Malkovich had felt that "Either the movie's a bomb and it's got not only my name above the title but my name in the title, so I'm fricked that way; or it does well and I'm just forever associated with this character."Kaufman said that there was never another actor in Malkovich's place in the script: "The screenplay was always "Being John Malkovich", even before I had any expectation that John Malkovich would even read the script. "He chose Malkovich because he believed there to be "an enigmatic quality about him that works", though Malkovich was partly chosen because of the sound of his name in repetition. Kaufman explained that "When we were thinking of alternatives, we found that a lot of them weren't fun to say."

Carey was a terrible Riddler, he was just Jim Carey in a green suit.

From the same series - Luis Guzmán as Gomez. He looks like a human incarnation of the original New Yorker cartoons.
I would also say Sean Connery as Richard the Lionheart in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Connery was older than Richard, but they were about the same size 6'2" to 6'5"); Richard did have Scottish ancestry through his father's mother's mother.

I’m not sure casting a black man to play a red headed Irishman was the obvious choice

Pesci as Nicky Santoro in Casino I’d probably what you were thinking of here. Jennifer Lopez as Selena is another good one.
I’ll submit the most blatantly obvious one ever, O’Shea Jackson Jr as O’Shea Jackson in Straight Outta Compton.

Absolutely, Penn did a great job in that role.
I wish they'd dig up Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie and electrocute them again. They're pond scum.
So is Sister Helen Prejean.
