There are beautiful and mind-blowing characters. And then there are even terrific actors playing the characters so stunningly that we cannot think of anyone else playing the role better than them, ever. We always associate characters with the actor playing it and when they nail it, the actor and the character become one. And who doesn’t love such a deadly combination, right? We saw a thread on Reddit and thought of compiling a list of roles that actors absolutely crushed.
1. Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man
2. Alan Rickman as Snape in Harry Potter series
