Actors you call by character names

[Ratt Mhule]

You know those actors that play that one character in a movie/tv show and whatever they did before or after that role, they will always be known as that character for the rest of their lives. I was thinking about this when I saw the Heineken commercial with NPH and I thought to myself, theres Barney Stinson. If you saw an actor in public, and said to your friend/family member, hey there's _______! What are the actors you would call by their character name instead of their real name. I'll start with a few.

NPH: Barney Stinson

Bob Saget: Danny Tanner

John Stamos: Uncle Jessie

Christopher McDonald: Shooter McGavin

The guy who plays George Feeny: Feeny

I call Leonardo DiCaprio the same character he plays in every movie, "Leonardo DiCaprio with a slightly different accent".
