Kind of obscure, but Brits of a certain age will always think of Alan Dale as "Jim from Neighbours". Another one being Guy Pearce as "Mike from Neighbours". Pearce has had a slightly bigger career than Dale maybe, but you've almost certainly seen them both in popular movies and TV shows.

Excellent answer, particularly Alan Robinson/Jim Dale. Or whatever :-)
Claire Foy as Lady Percy in the Upstairs, Downstairs reboot. Seeing her play the queen just felt so wrong, lol.
Ian McKellan is Gandalf, and I will fight anyone to the death who disagrees.
He has done quite a few iconic roles though
True, but I would argue that none are as widely recognized as Gandalf.

Machlenny, Glenn, Kaitlyn from isaip, they just aren't good outside of the show. Also rob is pretentious as fuck. Typecasting is pretty much a curse for people like these
Young Guns will forever in my head have Jack Bauer in a leading role.

david thewlis' role in fargo! /season 3, just so good!
Dude, Walter, Donnie and the Jesus from The Big Lebowski. Whenever I see Turturro play any other role, he's so bland and normal.
