Cate Blanchett was Marian in the Russell Crowe movie. Audrey Hepburn was Sean Connery's Marian. Mastrantonio was Kevin Costner's.

The other chick was on Once Upon A Time. I threw her on the list to make you go, huh?

Susan Denberg?

I suppose it's important to note that these are all groups of three, so this is probably not a SINGLE role we're looking for...

That was not a typo.

This thread usually has 3 actors or 3 roles listed.

There's so many actors for this SINGLE role that I posted

them in sets of 3, with more than 1 set per day.

You already missed one name in the list which should have

told you something important besides that there are so many

actors for one role.

(I'm starting to run out of names...)

(BTW, at least 1 portrayal was from 2011, one from 2012, one from 2013,

one from 2014 and one from 2015.)

I think the next posting, I will post all the dead giveaways together.

These are the names I recognize:

Gary Conway

Susan Denberg

David Prowse

Bo Svenson

Jonny Lee Miller

Benedict Cumberbatch

Phil Hartman

Robert de Niro

Chris Sarandon

Especially with Denberg in there, I can't think of a common role. Perhaps they all voiced a common cartoon character?

George

There were voice actors listed-but I think you chose none of them. Jim Cummings is a cartoon voice actor,

for example. And if a character is well-known enough, someone will suggest a variation of

the opposite gender- a number of Harry Potter fanfics have been written about Harriet Potter,

and you're already aware of other roles interpreted so on television.

Come on, picture David Prowse in your head. What adjectives spring to mind?

Doesn't that narrow the possibilities a lot?

Does this character even HAVE a name? And when did Cumberbatch play him?

In most portrayals, strictly speaking, he does not.

In a few, he does.

BC and JLM both played him in 2011, in the same play, alternating the role

with another (one played one, the other played the other, with who played

which alternating for performances.)

Only Darth Vader comes to mind, and the others certainly didn't portray HIM.

God?

The Creature

Frankenstein

Herman Munster

Correct!

I could not accept "Herman Munster" because that name was only used for one version.

I could accept "the creature" because it was used for a few, and

"Frankenstein" likewise, both for "FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER."

David Prowse was VERY TALL.

That narrows down the possible roles.

JLM and BC played Dr F and his monster in a play, with who played who

alternating between performances. (If JLM played Dr F, BC played the monster, etc.)

Herman Munster was supposed to be a DUH hint, but I think it was glossed over

I thought you were just being silly. It hit me what you meant while I was out, on my way to see "Spectre." And, of course, THAT movie featured Rory Kinnear, who played the Monster in Showtime's "Penny Dreadful." So, instead of a "Duh," you get a "D'oh!" :doh:

Speaking of "Spectre" ALERT: this is NOT a spoiler (unless you're REALLY picky), there is a scene near the end, where James Bond is in front of a memorial wall for fallen MI6 agents. It was a brief scene, but I'm SURE I saw "Emma Peel" listed. I'd love to get a still of that shot, to see what OTHER fictional British agents were there.
