Jayne Mansfield in Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter.

Role required her to fall in love with Tony Randall.

Trailer

Of course, it didn't end well!

Wilson was also the gym teacher in freaks and geeks

He played the exact same character on Do Over. Another great short-lived series.

It's probably already been mentioned, but the first one that came to mind for me was Val Kilmer in Tombstone.

Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.

How he doesn't even get nominated as best supporting actor is beyond me.
