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.
