David Anders, and although he often plays Brits I beleive he's American.
That's exactly who I was thinking of. Thanks!
And I stand corrected about his nationality . . . .
Don't worry I always used to think he was English!
Actually one more franchise and we could include him in this!
^Nope, that makes one role for the count.
Yeah, I know. I wasn't saying otherwise. I was saying that one successful movie followed by an unsuccessful sequel shouldn't qualify as an iconic franchise role. You need at least one successful sequel for that character to qualify. So Highlander shouldn't qualify as an iconic franchise role for Connery, but Bond of course does. Just as Sister Act (which had an unsuccessful sequel) shouldn't qualify as an iconic franchise role for Whoopi Goldberg.^ Got to respectfully disagree. To have an Iconic hat trick it has to be three CHARACTERS that are memorable.
Sean Connery would get it for James Bond alone. He has Bond and, shoot...I'll give you Highlander. But all the Bond films count as one role. Same as 8 seasons on TV count as one role.the
Actually, I was saying the opposite: that to count as one towards the hat trick there needs to be more than one successful film. But it's your thread, so you set the rules.You are correct, even if the sequel is not up to the original, if the original is so superior that the character is iconic from the get go, then it is counted as 1 icon toward a hat trick.
Oh, okay. Then add his character from the Alpo dog food commercial franchise.That's just two characters, though, not three.Lorne Green
