I can't believe no one has said

Jack Nicholson as Randle Patrick McMurphy in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

that's one of the few where I couldn't see anyone else in the role. As for Clint Eastwood, I liked Brosnan better in basically the same role, if you've seen "Once Upon Time in the West".

I'd say the only person really born for their part listed is Patrick Stewart as Professor X. If he was just riding around in a wheelchair years before he even got the part, anyone (familiar with X-Men) would say "wow, that's the professor."

I liked Brosnan better in basically the same role, if you've seen "Once Upon Time in the West".

I assume you mean, Bronson, Mr. Movie Expert? :woot:

And while OUATITW was great, Bronson nor the character he plays can even come close to Eastwood's. That's why he's so iconic and memorable. Bronson's character was just a lighter, less bad-ass version of Eastwood's. Eastwood had the look (the squint), the dialogue, the snappy delivery, the outfit, etc over Bronson.
 
patrick stewart-prof x
christopher reeve- superman
Orlando Bloom- Legolas (no one else could have done that as well!)
