What actor played a role so iconicly that it's unimaginable anyone else could replace them?

I would have to say Peter Falk as Columbo, can’t imagine anyone else playing the role.
Sigourney Weaver as Ripley in the movie, Alien
Leonard Nimoy as Spock in the TV series Star Trek
Tom Hanks

Bryan Cranston as Walter White in Breaking Bad immediately comes to mind...
He played that role in the movie Wings of Desire - it was pretty cool!

James Earl Jones as Terence Mann (Field of Dreams).
John Candy as Del Griffith (Planes, Trains, and Automobiles).
Walter Matthau as Oscar Madison in the Odd Couple.
And keeping with the Star Trek theme, I couldn't imagine any other over-actor than William Shatner as Capt. Kirk.

Check out Metástasis on youtube. It's a Colombian telenovela that's essentially a shot for shot remake. It's amusing.

Leonardo DiCaprio in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. I read that critics praised the filmmakers for being able to get an intellectually handicapped/disabled kid to play the role.
