Nice one, Mike.

My second choices for male and female roles, and a special 3rd option

Peter Sellers - Inspector Clouseau

Diane Keaton - Annie Hall

King Kong - King Kong

 

[lcummins]

I now "officially" remove the Crown for King of the Multi-quote from The Josh and deliver it to The Mike! And isn't it apropos that they are both "The"!!!





Now, back to the thread... you guys really need to pull back some! This is about a role an actor was born to play... not just good roles for them, but exceptionally brilliant, above all competition, no one can touch, good!!!

[plasmid303]

This thread is fun and all until it reaches 30 pages and the same actor/actress is mentioned for every role he's ever been in.

"Harrison Ford was born to play Indiana Jones"
"Harrison Ford was born to play Han Solo"
"Harrison Ford was born to play Rick Deckard"
"Harrison Ford was born to play The President of the United States"
"Harrison Ford was... so on and so on"

Cut and paste the actor names and roles as you see fit.
