J. K. Simmons was born to play J. Jonah Jameson.

For a series the got so much of the casting wrong, Tywin Lannister being played by Charles Dance is magnificent.

Say what you will, but Jacob and Edward were perfectly cast in the twilight movies and have a special place in my tween heart.

RDJ as Iron Man

Came in to post this.

But, let's see... Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown? I can't imagine anyone else playing that role.

Does this one count? I mean he did a great job but the character was completely rewritten afterwards to be more like RDJ.

I found the casting in the entire movie to be spot on. Doc Manhattan was fantastic.

Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny in X-Files. Possibly the best TV casting ever.

The casting in that movie was abysmal outside of Rorschach, The Comedian, and Manhattan.

He'sggreat at being angry really. Nobody else could've played him, Cave Johnson, or Terrence Fletcher as well.

I'd say Ford as Indy and Solo.

Not quite perfect since he's much taller than Wolverine is supposed to be, but other than that he was great.

Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy. Throw any name out there. They wouldn't have made him anywhere near as iconic as Ed did.

I take it you've never seen Taxi-- he stole everything about Kramer from Christopher Lloyd.
