DeaconKC Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Okay, we have had fun with these movie themes. Is there a role someone played that was just their defining role to you? I would have to start with Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Gilligan walked through a time warp, and ended up back in the old west. He was the scout on a wagon train. There was the wagon master. The virtuous school marm. The rich banker and his wife. The saloon girl. And the engineer-in-training. Boy that sounds familiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Star Trek. Think about it, the only one that did much else was Shatner, and he's STILL thought of mostly as Capt. Kirk. Leonard Nimoy did a couple years on Mission Impossible, But until his death was ALWAYS thought of as Spock. Walter Koenig did a couple seasons on Babylon 5, but is still thought of as Chekov. George Takei has done a few guest shots here and there, but for the most part, the rest haven't done much of anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawMan Mark, SASS #57095L Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Alan Rickman as Elliot Marston. I had previously watched him die in Die Hard, and have seen him in lots of other films, but his role in Quigley Down Under is what I think of him when I hear or see his name or photo.

Now I know that Roy's birth name was Leonard, but did he just perform UNDER the name of Roy Rogers (if so, his real name would still be Leonard) or did he have his name legally changed to Roy Rogers, in which case his real name was Roy Rogers.

Now I know that Roy's birth name was Leonard, but did he just perform UNDER the name of Roy Rogers (if so, his real name would still be Leonard) or did he have his name legally changed to Roy Rogers, in which case his real name was Roy Rogers. From IMDB <quote> Roy Rogers (born Leonard Slye) moved to California in 1930, aged 18. He played in such musical groups as The Hollywood Hillbillies, Rocky Mountaineers, Texas Outlaws, and his own group, the International Cowboys. In 1934 he formed a group with Bob Nolan called Sons of the Pioneers. While in that group he was known as Leonard Slye, then Dick Weston. Their songs included "Cool Water" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds". They first appeared in the western Rhythm on the Range (1936), starring Bing Crosbyand Martha Raye. In 1936 he appeared as a bandit opposite Gene Autry in "The Old Coral". In 1937 Rogers went solo from "The Sons Of The Pioneeres", and made his first starring film in 1938, Under Western Stars (1938). He made almost 100 films. The Roy Rogers Show (1951) ran on NBC from October 1951 through 1957 and on CBS from 1961 to September 1964. In 1955, 67 of his feature films were released to television. <end quote> <quote> In his autobiography, "Happy Trails: The Story of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans," the former Leonard Slye stated that his stage name of Roy Rogers was given to him by executives at Republic Pictures when he became their new singing cowboy to replace Gene Autry. The Rogers came from Will Rogers, the beloved western comic and storyteller who had recently died in a plane crash in Alaska and Roy was made the first name because it is the French word for "king," as in "Roy Rogers, King of the Cowboys." Roy said he had no input at all in the renaming decision. <end quote> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
