I'm a huge Paul Newman fan. He always made me feel like he wasn't acting, he was that character. 

Cool Hand Luke

Road To Perdition

Fast Eddie Felson in The Hustler

Newman and Redford were both perfectly cast in The Sting too, IMO.

However, they weren't (originally) perfectly cast in Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. Their roles were originally reversed, and they decided to swap parts. Newman as Butch makes more sense IMHO than Newman as Sundance.

I did not know that....interesting. While Redford is an awesome actor, I always thought Newman was more convincible.

Carroll O'Connor as Archie Bunker

Jean Stapleton as Edith Bunker

Really, all the actors that were on All in the Family.

 

That show was really ahead of its time. It still holds up today.

 

I will add Alan Alda as Hawkeye Pierce.

And Rob Reiner was (and still is) an annoying putz.

The entire cast of The Andy Griffith show...especially Don Knotts

Really???? That show would bore the living crap out of me. My older brother would hog up the TV and watch that show.
