Wavey Davey 0 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 This is which actor/actress you think was born for the part they played in a movie They don't neccessarily have to be good movies: Here's my Top five : Chris Reeve - Superman/ Clark Kent: Great at both. Sadly Missed. Matthew Lillard - Shaggy in 'Scooby-Doo': Like I said, the movie doesn't have to be great, but he did well. Ron Pearlman - Hellboy: Just couldn't see anybody else doing it. Ian McKellan- Gandalf: Not too big a fan of the movies but the casting on that was inspired. Now your turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Murray as Garfield as well. (INTERESTING FACT: Lorenzo Music (RIP) was the voice actor who played Garfield in the TV series, as well as... Peter Venkman in the Ghostbusters cartoon!)
