Iconic character - actor combinations

So the idea is being tossed around of rebooting the Indiana Jones movies.

(probably has a lot to do with the colossal Mongolian cluster %#$& that 'Crystal Skull' was)

Unfortunately, series star Harrison Ford is a little too old to kep doing this part, so the powers that be have suggested casting a new young actor to take over the role of the heroic archaeologist.

Namely, Guardians of the Galaxy's Chris Pratt.

I like Chris Pratt. I think he's great.

I hate the idea of him playing Indiana Jones with the fire of a thousand sons.

There are some characters that are just so completely, irrevocably tied to certain actors that recasting them is just a travesty. In my opinion, Indiana Jones - Harrison Ford is one of those connections.

Who else would you suggest so defined a certain role that no one else should try and play it?

Everyone can be replaced. Jared Leto for Heath Ledger.

And as millions of Marines and naval officers can attest Gunny can be replaced. Except with a woman. Only because I don't think anyone would believe how foul mouthed and cruel those female Drill Instructors are.

yeah there will be a new actor playing a young luke skywalker as well in the new starwars movie.

From the rumor I saw, a different actor will portray Luke in a short flashback scene, but Hamill will reprise his role as the current aged Skywalker in the new movies.

While not on topic Willis is one of the coolest guys in Hollywood. I met him during Tears of the Sun. He stopped to play softball with us on base. He was telling us how all of his contracts have an end of day time during shooting so the crew can rest and see their families.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
