Johnny Depp
Tom Hanks


But most of the above as well. Most stars thrive on being recognizable, comfortable. If they were not themselves they'd be less effective at being "a star."

Brad Pit for some reason (post fight club). I think he's a good actor, just can't accept his characters anymore for some reason.

Adam Sandler. But I guess that's kind of cheating. A lot of comedy guys might as well be themselves in movies. Can't imagine Kevin Hart is much different in any other setting.

Owen Wilson is another one, even in his serious roles. I just see a blond haired guy with a broken nose and a weird accent. Listening to him say Dohhhhhg in Marley and Me was terrible.

Brad Pitt
Clooney
Post-Air Force One Harrison Ford

I can still think of Ford as his characters when I watch his older stuff, but everything after Air Force One is just Harrison Ford.

These are smaller role actors but the two that immediately come to mind for me is:

Tarantino and Stephen King

I see Matt Damon as Jason Bourne in everything.

Was watching the Martian the other day and was thinking, well shite he's Jason Bourne, why the frick can't he survive on Mars for 2 years?

I think this is an issue for any big name actor who has a unique look or personality. So guys like Deniro, Pacino, Walken, Statham. They've been in so many movies or they're so recognizable that I actually prefer actors I've never seen before.
