Mark Hamill- Joker
Harrison Ford- Indiana Jones
Earl James Jones- Mufasa maybe?
Frank OZ- Miss Piggy/Fozzy Bear
Liam Neesen- Oskar Schindler

For me the first non-Star Wars role I think of for Carrie Fisher is the crazy gun toting lady in Blues Brothers

Hmm not sure where to place Ewan McGregor. I think of Big Fish, but could be a minority on that one.

I associate Liam Neeson more with Taken than anything else he has done.
James Earl Jones from Conan the Barbarian.

i'm glad i watched that movie and saw the history of it.

Schindler saved many lives even if he worked them in the factory.

Love Big Fish, but Trainspotting is the first movie I think of for him.

Warwick Davis - Willow and Prof Flitwick.

Samuel L Jackson has been in a ton of movies, but I best remember him as Jules in Pulp Fiction.

Yeah that was an obvious one I didn't think of off the top of my head

For me personally I also think of him as Ray Arnold in Jurassic Park too even though he was a minor character.

But Jules and Nick Fury would be his more prominent roles since Arnold was a minor character

Forgot about Trainspotting. That is a good shout. The only thing I can think off the top of my head for Billy Dee Williams is him being the original Harvey Dent in the Tim Burton Batman.

I'd go with The Blues Brothers for Carrie. Or Peter's boss on Family Guy.

Kinda sucks that Carrie didn't get more roles, and then her struggles with alcoholism
