There Are Just Some People Who Define Their Roles - Like Davy Jones, Batman And Snake

When I mention the three names in the thread title, I'm referring to the actors who play them:

Bill Nighy solidifying Davey Jones as a cursed squid-sailor
Christian Bale learns his bat-skills
David Hayter watches his mentor die

These are people - Nighy, Bale and Hayter who aren't just actors playing the part of their characters - they... become their characters. Their names become synonymous. People start referring to Patrick Stewart as Jean Luc Picard. It also works the other way - Davey Jones isn't just a name anymore. Davey Jones is Bill Nighy.

What other people can you name?
