When you think about it, what movie jumps into your mind when you think about an actor?
Is it the movie that made him a big name or is it the movie you first truly acknowledged his presence?
For me it's the latter. When I think of Willem Dafoe, it's not Platoon or Spider-Man I'm thinking about but Clear and Present Danger.
With Arnie it's a bit more faded but Kindergarten Cop is still up in the top list when thinking about him.
Ben Kingsley? Dave, not Gandhi.
Gary Oldman? Air Force One
