How would you want to be remembered?
Doug Jones. Everyone who's met him says he's the most gracious, chillest guy you could imagine. I am not naturally that kind of person and I really wish I could be.
Charlie Sheen, duh. Winning!

Yeah, me too.
I hear that Bill Murray's also pretty cool off screen.

lemme start over...

Well, there's;
Klaus Kinski - It's said he loved his craft so much, that he was willing to do bad movies. I find it interesting that when he's remembered, critics like to point to the artsy-fartsy films he made in Europe (some of which, most of us have never even heard of), whereas fans tend to remember him for low brow sci-fi & horror flicks he made in Hollywood.
Benny Hill - While most folks tend to remember the gratuitous bawdy stuff, always followed by an obligatory chase scene through the English countryside, I like to think of the structure of his shows. They would include musical & dance numbers, Musical guests, comedy sketches that would include funny solo monologs, dialogs, silent sketches, pretty much everything a variety show should have. And, speaking as a bald guy, I really envy his collection of toupees, and he rocked them all.
Burgess Meredith - It's hard to explain; This guys had his effective performances & his ineffective performances, a mix of outstanding roles and "What was he thinking/Had to get the bills paid" kind of roles, supporting roles & cameos, as well as one truly bizarre cameo in Such Good Friends... I don't know why, but I'm always surprised to see this guy in anything.
How 'bout you?
Gary Oldman has been noted as someone who can really disappear into his character.
I was able to do that once, the one time I did radio theatre, but I really haven't had a chance yet to test the limits of my abilities in that way for stage or camera...
And then there's this guy:
