Actors you've stopped seeing as just one character

[Nr1Humanoid]

What actors do you no longer just associate with one role, to your surprise.

I no longer just see

Richard Dean Anderson as MacGyver. (thanks to Stargate SG1)
Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy (thanks to Modern Family)

[celticjobber]

Jason Lee as Brodie from Mallrats -- Now I also think of him as Earl Hickey from "My Name Is Earl".

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Will Friedle as Eric Matthews, thanks to Ron Stoppable.

[Dave the Dave]

Hi...I'm Coach McGuirk......wait not, I'm Bob Belcher.

[Bang Bang Bart]

Chris Evans as the Human Torch, thanks to his fantastic role as Captain America.

[Deleted]

Easily Sly as Rocky and Rambo as I felt they both were vastly different growing up...Now John Lithgow from 3rd Rock to Trinity on Dexter

[bob]

Jeff Bridges as The Dude, thanks to his fantastic role as Obadiah Stane

[Mr. Medium Shot]

Ed O'Neill was the first name I thought of. I assumed he would be Al Bundy forever until I watched Modern Family.

Speaking of the Bundys, Katey Sagal showed some versatility on Futurama and 8 Simple Rules. And speaking of that, Kaley Cuoco was Bridget Hennessey first, but will now be best known as Penny from The Big Bang Theory.

Bryan Cranston as Hal from Malcolm in the Middle, now I only know him as that knee-brace guy from Drive.

ICWUDT.

But Cranston was actually going to be my answer.

Neil Patrick Harris - no longer just Doogie Howser.

[#Classic Hi-Definition X]

Jon Cryer comes to mind. Prior to Two And a Half Men he was best remembered as Duckie in the movie Pretty In Pink.

That's a damn good one. Not only is he just Doogie Howser, but he's also Barney Stinson and HIMSELF, NPH. He's so awesome, that he's fundamental. And if you're a bigger fan, you can probably also count Dr. Horrible.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

Leonardo DiCaprio as Jack Dawson (Titanic). As of late, he's Howard Hughes and Dom Cobb.

Nope, still a weenie, the clothes may change, but same guy wearing them.

[Cyno]

Joseph Gordon Levitt as the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun, thanks to Inception and Dark Knight Rises. He's become an excellent actor.

I'll also second Leonardo DiCaprio and NPH.

I'll add Looper to that list.

Not to mention at one point the Amazing Spider Man.

I liked him in The Departed.

For a while Matt Le Blanc was just Joey to me, now thanks to 'Episodes' I now just see Matt Le Blanc as umm Matt Le Blanc.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Along these lines, the movie "Bernie" really changed the way I think of Jack Black as an actor... in that it made me start thinking about Jack Black as an actor.
