The last few posts in the Big Lebowski thread got me thinking, what actors were "born" to play their roles in movies?

Jeff Bridges- The dude
John Goodman- Walter
Al Pacino - Michael Corleone
Clint Eastwood- Dirty Harry

Thoughts?

Who are some y'all think were born for the role?

First one to jump to mind

Alan Rickman - Severus Snape (actually most of the casting for HP was spot on)
Harrison Ford - Han Solo
Jack Nicholson - Jack Torrence

No no no. Just because he's played him in 8 movies doesn't mean he was born for the role. He was pretty much nothing like what the book portrayed Harry to be.

Actually a pretty crap actor.
