Now that you mention it nobody else could play Rhett Butler either.

Hugh Laurie as House

Nobody else could play Elvis like Elvis or Marilyn Monroe like Marilyn Monroe.

Of course this is an after the fact deal where I have seen the performance. If they started from scratch maybe somebody else could have done these and some of the others mentioned.

There Will Be Blood. I am 100% confident that no one else could have played the role of Daniel Plainview and won an Oscar for it. Daniel Day-Lewis is that fricking great.

Pacino as Tony Montana. Fortunately the remake will be a different story.

I also think Oldman was born to play Lee Harvey Oswald in JFK.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Willem Dafoe as Elias in Platoon.

I can't picture anybody other than Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister. Gary Oldman, Daniel Day Lewis, Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson... Nah.
