Would you believe my mother took me to see Silence of the lambs at the movies when I was 11 years old.... For TWs benefit it was the old Regent movie theatre in Whangarei.
I watched it recently with my boys ( 12 and 14 )
They found him “pretty creepy” for a relatively normal looking guy which I guess speaks volumes of his performance.
They also spent the next day singing “Goodbye Horses” and telling each other to put the fucken lotion in the basket.

He's in a tv show I like called Miracle Workers and I've seen him in the odd movie. The magician one, and the one where he played a corpse. Apparently he's good in the Weird Al movie but I haven't seen it as it's on Roku.

Timothy Oliphant.
Raylan Givens or Seth Bullock?
Another one where it's kinda the same character.
But I think, for me, he's Seth Bullock - who was therefore excellent casting for Raylan.Raylan for me as I watched Justified first.
Eggert.

@chimoaus Eggert for me is stuck as Jamie Powell from Charles in Charge
Pam has this one for me

Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes - the definitive portrayal. So good you wonder whether other actors bothered to read the books.

I've never seen that portrayal... and that image is nothing like I imagine the character from the books.

Pretty much regarded as definitive - except for the beak-like nose.
Edward Hardwicke's Watson was spot-on as well in portraying him as the hardened, intelligent veteran capable of mixing it with the tough guys and not averse to shooting people if needed.

That's his city attire. The rural attire might be what you re imagining. The deer stalker and all, which he does don when out in th country.

The other obvious test is Rambo or Rocky. It was Rambo for me.
Pretty incredible that Sly was able to front 2 massive franchises at the same time. Rocky all the way for me.
In terms of the definitive portrayal how about Batman?
West, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, Affleck or Patterson? -

Yep.

He also nailed the look for the time he was heavily using opium. As you say, the definitive Sherlock.
