Hey pandas. What casting choices made a character iconic? This could include great characters that are made even better by the casting choice or uninteresting or poorly written characters that came to life with a casting choice. Voice actor casting choices are welcome as well.

Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man. It sounded right the minute I heard it, and he didn’t fail to deliver.

If they ever make a re-casted version of the original trilogy, he should keep the part.

People didn't like him at the time, but I think he's great for the role. I think for Anakin to be perfect, though, they should keep Hayden as the actor and dub it over with Matt Lanter's voice.

For me it's definitely Viggo Mortensen and his Aragorn.
