John Goodman as Dan from Roseanne

Sadly anyone from Seinfeld, I love the show but I can't watch anything any of them are in anymore.

It's funny, because I could never picture Michael Richards as anything buy Stanley Spadowski from UHF. I never watched Seinfeld much partly because of that.

Also, Michael Chiklis for me will always be Vic Mackey, but my dad had a hard time buying into his character because all he could see was Chiklis as The Commish.

Henry Winkler will always be Arthur Fonzarelli. Ron Howard will also never be a director. He is just Opie Taylor

I always thought it was unfortuante how in every movie, Andre the Giant always seemed to be type-cast as this enormous half-wit.

I've come to love Entourage so much, that I fear if I see the main roles in anything other than that, I'll hate them. I don't want to do that.

Though, the only one of that show I've seen a lot of is Jeremy Piven, and he's a good actor so he's not stapled to Ari Gold.

I agree with Gandolfini = TS.

I personally never see Adam Sandler in a non-Happy Gilmore light.

And last, but definetly not least... Will Ferrell. Every single damn movie he does is the same. It's not that I don't find some of his sketches on SNL or some of his lines funny, it's that his character in every movie in the last 10 years of his is just rehashed over and over. I might not be able to pinpoint a certain role, but he's the exact same character and I hate it every time.

Although he's had so many roles, for me:

Keanu Reeves ... Ted Logan

I can not tell you how often my brain adds an unspoken "dude" to nearly every line Keanu says in any movie.

The problem with guys like Vince Vaughn, Adam West, William Shatner, etc., is not so much that you will always identify them with their previous characters, but that you will always see them as Vince Vaughn, Adam West, William Shatner, etc. Their real-life persona is so dominant in our minds that you don't think "Oh, that's Batman trying to play a doctor." Instead you think, "Oh, that's Adam West being himself and camping it up as usual."

James Gandolfini is a great example of what OP is actually talking about because he's apparently nothing like Tony Soprano in real life but will always be remembered as that character.
