11 Actors That Will Always Be Defined By That One Role

Landing the role of a lifetime is probably a dream for every actor out there. No matter what other things you may do in your career, be they good or bad, people will always remember you for that one amazing performance you gave.

Let’s take a look at some actors that will always be linked to that one amazing role.

Anthony Hopkins – Hannibal Lecter

There isn’t a person in the world that wasn’t chilled by Anthony’s performance of the serial murderer Hannibal Lecter.

Renée Zellweger – Bridget Jones

I’ll be honest: I actually thought Renée Zellweger’s name was Bridget Jones for a little while. And I’m pretty sure that if I called her Bridget Jones now, everyone would know who I was talking about.

Wesley Snipes – Blade

No matter what Wesley has done since then, whenever people start talking about a new Blade movie or series, they ask for Wesley Snipes to reprise his role. He was such a great match for the Daywalker that it seems almost silly to not have him play Blade for the rest of his life.

Carrie Fisher – Princess Leia

Even in death, she will always be our Princess.
