lon chaney jnr = wolfman

guess its the classics for me

although i really enjoyed the more updated Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock

and thinking about it Jeremy Brett didnt do too bad either
For me there is only one definitive Holmes and that is Jeremy Brett - absolutely perfect. (Quite a passion of mine -I have him as my avatar quite often!)
While I grew up with John Pertwee as Dr Who, then Tom Baker, my absolute favourite was Christopher Ecclestone who did a fantastic job of re-launching the new modern series. Great actor.
Dracula has to be Christopher Lee
James Bond - I liked the irony of Roger Moore (Love Judy Dench's "M" -brilliant!)
OB1 -Ewan MacGregor
Tarzan - Ron Ely - the one I grew up with! (Interesting to see how many have played the role on this link!Actors Who Have Played Tarzan)
Agree with Ken that Ringo Starr is brilliant on Thomas the Tank -still have the collection of original videos which my boys loved!
Robin Hood - see following video, brilliant and as he says at the end -Unlike some other Robin Hoods I can speak with an English accent!
