Robin Williams as teddy Roosevelt in 'night at the museum'.
Raul Julia as Victor Frankenstein in Corman's "Frankenstein unbound".
Tom Cruise as Lestat in " interview with the vampire".
I had always envisioned Sean Connery as Gandalf, going all the way back to junior high.
I would speak the Gandalf lines from THE HOBBIT in my best Sean Connery voice when I read the book to my kids when they were little.
Then they cast Ian McKellen in the role - I had seen him in RICHARD III and APT PUPIL, but I really didn't think he could make the leap to Gandalf.
But he did - and he ROCKED it!
Mike Myers as Steve Rubell in 54 (1998)
Michael Keaton as Batman in Batman (1989)
Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man.
Ben Affleck as Batman. All thru "BvS" (which kinda sucked), all I could think of was how much I would've rather been watching Affleck in a solo Batman flick.
The South African raised and educated actor Laurence Harvey as Colonel Travis in The Alamo (1960)
Daniel Craig as James Bond. When it was first announced, I looked at his photograph and said, "How can that POSSIBLY be 007?" But I think it worked out fine.

I thought the same thing. "He's BLONDE!" Your right. He's the best since Connery.
Charlize Theron in MONSTER (2003). I mean Charlize is beautiful! But as Aileen Wuornos???
Of course she pulled it off amazingly.
Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line.
Hugh Jackman as Logan/Wolverine.
