Iconic character - actor combinations

Johnny Depp or Bill Murray as Hunter S. Thompson?  But Benicio Del Toro will always beat Peter Boyle as Gonzo/Lazlo in my estimation.

 

Oh and I second Lance Crouther as Pootie-Tang.  Once in a lifetime role/movie, nailed it, never acted again.

Scarface remake....no, no and no.
