Actors who you strongly associate with a singular role that it feels weird when you see them in different roles?

Whenever I see Topher Grace in anything post- That 70s Show I simply see Eric Foreman in a new setting.
He's never going to escape that role in my eyes.

For me, he'll always be the recovering murderer in Wayne's World
The first time I watched Bojack I thought it was some experimental Arrested Development spinoff lol

I didn't realize Giancarlo Esposito was in Do the Right Thing until after I had finished watching it lol.
Eh, I've known of Steve Carrell before the office and he's always played the same type of characters so it's more like he's been typecasted in my eyes rather than locked in as one singular role. John Krasinski is a better example from the same show as he will always be Jim.

That's why whenever I saw billboards for Jack Ryan I could never take it seriously.
JK Simmons is Vern Schillinger to me and always will be, to the extent that it really throws me off when I see him in roles like the kindly psychologist in Law and Order or Juno's nice dad.
Most of the main mcu people at this point. Except Scar Jo maybe since she does a lot of movies outside of the mcu.
but RDJ and Chris evans are Iron Man and Captain America and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Probably Andy Samberg as Jake Peralta. Watched the show on Hulu and got confused when commercials for a Hulu movie was in showed up lmao.
Jon Hamm. Anytime I see him in anything, I think "that's Don Draper".
It does help that he's done so much comedy stuff outside of MM, but still it's the first thing I think of when he shows up.
Edit: also any of the friends from Friends. They're probably all more known as their character's names than their actual names.

Jk Simmons is a mix of Cave Johnson from portal and JJJ from Spider-Man for me. It's very hard to take him seriously.
Hugo Weaving as Agent Smith
Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson (seriously, it doesn't help that pretty much every role he has is that)

If you'd seen him on Oz first (like me and the poster above) you'd be unable to not take him seriously.
This for me. He has only recently began to not only been seen as Schillenger for me.
Same with Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje being Adebisi.
I always thank God I saw Spider-Man before Oz so I never saw a neonazi rapist as JJJ like others did.
this.
and Bryan Cranston will always be Tim Sacksky/Hal Wilkerson to me.
I don't know if it's the costume or what, but Elrond is such a distinct character to me that I see Hugo Weaving as both Elrond and Agent Smith when he is in other movies.
I still struggle not to see Agent Smith.
