I was having a discussion at work with someone who is a BIG Star Trek fan, and he mentioned that the actor Rene Auberjonois is best known as Odo from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.  Given what the Star Trek Universe has become over the years, I can sort of understand this, but I always thought he was best known as Clayton Endicott from Benson

Take Chevy Chase for example.  Would you say he is best known as Irwin R. Fletcher (aka Jane Doe) or as Clark W. Griswold?

What are some other debatable ones?

I think of Rene Auberjenois from Benson.

I wonder if "which character you remember someone by" can be based on your age?

Here are a few I have thought of.

Mary Tyler Moore: Mary Richards (MTM) or Laura Petrie (Dick Van Dyke show). I will remember her as Laura Petrie, because I saw that show first (and she was a crush of mine  :) )

Katherine Helmond: Jessica Tate or Mona Robinson?  For me, she will always be Jessica.

Here's 3 from the Andy Griffith show:

Ron Howard: Opie Taylor or Richie Cunningham (Happy Days)?  I think of him as Richie. My parents always called him "Opie"

Andy Griffith: Sheriff Andy Taylor? Or Matlock?

Don Knotts: Barney Fife? Or Ralph Furley (Three's Company)?


Larry Hagman: Major Tony Nelson ( I dream of Jeannie)  or J.R. Ewing (Dallas)?  Probably J.R. in this case.

Michael J Fox: Alex Keaton (Family Ties)  or Mike Flaherty (Spin City) ?  Probably Alex.

Jack Klugman: Oscar Madison (Odd Couple) or Quincy?

Michael Landon: Little Joe (Bonanza) or Charles Ingalls? (LHOTP)

It could be an age related thing indeed.  When I think of Michael Landon, the first thing that comes to mind is Jonathan from Highway to Heaven

Michael J. Fox to me will always be Marty McFly first, Alex P. Keaton second

Michael J Fox is always Alex P Keaton to me.

Rene Auberjenois will always be Clayton.

Katherine Helmond will always be Jessica Tate

Michael Landon is Pa

Don Knotts is Barney Fife (before my time but it made a bigger impression)


What about Bob Denver?  Gilligan or Maynard G Krebs.  Gilligan for me.

To me, Jodie Foster will always be Clarice Starling.

Henry Winkler in my opinion is best known for being Arthur Fonzarelli on Happy Days

http://a.espncdn.com/i/magazine/new/fonzie.jpg

And don't forget Archie Bunker aka Carrol O Connor.

You mean he isn't best known as Chief Gillespie on In the Heat of the Night ? :D

I wonder if "which character you remember someone by" can be based on your age?



Yeah, it's probably (most likely) age related. And it also depends on what part of the world you live in. For example, "Benson" was never aired over here, so I naturally think of René Auberjonois as Odo.

Chevy Chase, to me, is Clark W. Griswold. But I guess you can also call him Al.  :D

You mean he isn't best known as Chief Gillespie on In the Heat of the Night ? :D


Archie Bunker is what I knew him as.

Archie Bunker is what I knew him as.


Good call on that one, Howard.

Bob Newhart. The Bob Newhart show in the 70s? Or Newhart in the 80s?

Bill Cosby: From "I Spy" in the 1960s? Fat Albert cartoon in the 70s? Cliff Huxtable in the 80s?

Neil Patrick Harris: From "Doogie Howser MD" or "How I Met Your Mother?"

And our buddy David Hasselhoff. "Knight Rider" or "Baywatch" or drunk with a cheeseburger on the floor?

Bob Newhart in the 80's.  I don't think I have ever seen an episode of the original series.

Bill Cosby is a toss up between Fat Albert and Dr Huxtable.

Neil Patrick Harris is most definitely Doogie.

The Hoff will always be Knight Rider.

When I think of Bill Cosby, the first thing that comes to mind is "Ghost Dad".  I'm not even kidding lol

Keisha Knight Pulliam: Miranda Payne or Rudy Huxtable?

Keisha Knight Pulliam: Miranda Payne or Rudy Huxtable?


Um, Rudy.  I had to google Miranda Payne cause I didn't know who that was

Oh House of Payne.  Yeah, I doubt she is best known for that.  It is on TBS, and not everyone gets that channel

Sherman Helmsley: George Jefferson or Deacon Earnest Frye?


I best know him for both, but he is worldly known for George J more.  I don't think Amen was broadcast in alot of countries outside of North America

Wilford Brimley:  Liberty Medical commercials, Quaker Oats commercials or Gus Witherspoon from Our House? :D

Sylvester Stallone:  Rocky or Rambo?

Bruce Willis:  David Addison from Moonlighting or John McLane from the Die Hard Pentalogy?

Sherman Helmsley: George Jefferson or Deacon Earnest Frye?

Gloria Stivic and Chrissy

Bea Arthur: Maude or Dorothy from "Golden Girls"?

OJ Simpson: Movie actor, football player, or the guy in the Ford Bronco.

Gavin MacLeod: Murray Slaughter from MTM or Cpt Subbing from the Love Boat?

Bernie Kopell: Siegfried from "Get Smart" or 'Doc" from the Love Boat?

O.J. to me will always be Nordburg from The Naked Gun trilogy
Gavin MacLeod and Bernie Kopell from Love Boat
Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak from Golden Girls

Bea Arthur: Maude or Dorothy from "Golden Girls"?

Dorothy from Golden Girls.

O.J. to me will always be Nordburg from The Naked Gun trilogy
Gavin MacLeod and Bernie Kopell from Love Boat
Bea Arthur as Dorothy Zbornak from Golden Girls


Gotcha. And I think this where the age things enters the picture a little. OJ will always be #32 for the Buffalo Bills (or the guy in the Bronco..)  Gavin Macleod will always be Murray from MTM, Bernie Kopell will always be Siegfried from Get Smart, and Bea Arthur will always be Maude to me.

What  also helps I didn't watch Love Boat much, and didn't watch the Golden Girls much either.

Levar Burton- Kunta Kinte from Roots, Star Trek or Reading Rainbow?

I think of Rene Auberjenois from Benson.

good list you had.... I added my two cents.  :)

Mary Tyler Moore: Mary Richards (MTM) or Laura Petrie (Dick Van Dyke show). I will remember her as Laura Petrie, because I saw that show first (and she was a crush of mine  :) )    I think of both equally 

Katherine Helmond: Jessica Tate

Michael J Fox is always Alex P Keaton to me.

Michael Landon is Pa

How could I forget Charles Ingles...  didn't even think about it until reading it here...


Ditto  on Bob Denver... he is gilligan forever and always

Out of those three, Charmaine.  Mostly just her music, though.

The Golden Girls that were mentioned? 

Bea will always be Dorothy
Betty will always be Rose
Rue will always be Blanche  I really love that show.

Speaking of golden girls...


Betty White:  Sue Ann Nivens (MTM) ? Rose (GG)? or Inga (Hot in Cleveland)

Rue McClanahan:  Viv (Maude) or Blanche (GG)


Betty White will always be Sue Ann, Rue McClanahan will always be Vivian to me. 

Conrad Bain will always be Arthur to me (on Maude), and not the dad of Different Strokes.

Janet Jackson will always be Penny or "wardrobe malfunction"  :-\\ to me.

I didn't know Janet was on Different strokes nor Fame. Having said that, I didn't watch either show that much.

Out of those three, Charmaine.  Mostly just her music, though.

The Golden Girls that were mentioned? 

Bea will always be Dorothy
Betty will always be Rose
Rue will always be Blanche  I really ove that show.



For me she will always be Penny (well music 1st but for roles penny)

The ggs

Betty white is Sue Ann). (I got busy at work & I forget to look up hot in Cleveland?  I think it's Elsa not Ingrid)
Bea IS Maude ( but from All in the Family)
Rue is Viv (from Maude)
Oddly enough Conrad Bain is Mr Drummond not Viv's husband.

Um .. Ghost ?


Oh yes I almost forgot.

Michael J Fox: Alex Keaton (Family Ties)  or Mike Flaherty (Spin City) ?  What about Marty McFly?

Lead singer in a band?

To me Mark will always be the lead singer of Platinum Blonde.  But I also think that when you're as young as Mark was and fame just goes "WHOOSH" in your face it tends to give you all of the things that you don't want.  :)

Terri Hatcher - Lois & Clark or Desperate Housewives?

Tiffany Amber Theissen - 90210 or White Collar?
Angie Harmon - Law & Order or Baywatch Nights or Rizzoli and Isles? (she'll always be the hot spy in Agent Cody Banks to me  ::))

LOL @ Agent Cody Banks.

Susan Dey, I know her from LA Law, but I also know her from a 90s sitcom with Jay Thomas called Love and War hat I watched all the time!

Pam Anderson, I always think of Lisa the Tool Girl on Home Improvement's Tool Time
Tiffani Theissen will always be Kelly Kapowski from Saved By the Bell, but I do enjoy her on White Collar quite much

Teri Hatcher, I think of her as "real and spectacular" from Seinfeld and Penny Parker from MacGyver

Some more...

Bill Bixby - Courtship of Eddies Father/ My Favorite Martion/ The Incredible Hulk?  ... For me My Favourite Martian
James garner - Maverick or Rockford Files? .... Rockford
Kelsy Grammer - Cheers or Frasier? .... Frasier
Ted Danson - Cheers or Becker? ... Cheers
William Shatner - Star Terk or TJ Hooker? ... Star Trek
Robert Wagner - It Takes A Thief or Hart to Hart ... It Takes a Thief
Tony Danza - Taxi or Who's the Boss? - Who's the Boss
Alyssa Milano - Who's the Boss or Charmed?  ... Who's the Boss
Sharon Gless - Cagney & Lacey or Burn Notice? ... C&L (I just know which way q will vote on that one).
Julianna Marguilies - ER or Good Wife ... Good Wife now 1st comes to mind

and the queen of tv...

Heather Locklear - Dynasty/TJ Hooker/Melrose Place/ Spin City - I'm really conlicted on this one and will have to give it to either Dynasty or Melrose Place.  :-\\

before playing Lois Lane Teri Hatcher was dancing mermaid on Love Boat the New wave (or next wave or whatever) but she will always be Lois first to me...

susan Dey is Laurie Partridge

Marcia Cross was Kate Saunders on OLTL... she was going to marry Cord Roberts when Tina interupted the wedding with that stupid baby Milagro.... later I think the baby was Max's and they named it Al or something... I think that's how it all went down...  anyway i will always remember her for OLTL way before the other two shows...

Angie Harmon.... I loved her on the short lived Woman's Murder Club and I love her on Rizzoli & Isles but it will always be the L&O that comes to mind first.

Apart from Bill Bixby (Hulk) and Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart), I agree with all those above

Here's some tricky ones ...

Lee Majors  - The Six Million Dollar Man or The Fall Guy ? The Fall Guy
Ted Knight - Ted Baxter (Mary Tyler Moore Show), Judge Smails (Caddyshack) or Henry Rush (Too Close For Comfort) ? Too Close For Comfort
Tim Olyphant - Seth Bullock (Deadwood), Marshal Givens (Justified), Thomas Gabriel (Live Free or Die Hard) or Agent 47 (Hitman) ? Live Free or Die Hard
Conrad Bain - Dr. Harmon (Maude) or Mr. Drummond (Diff'rent Strokes) Diff'rent Strokes
Doris Roberts - Theresa Falco (Angie), Flo, Father Tim's mother (Soap), Mildred Krebbs (Remington Steele) or Marie Barrone (Everybody Loves Raymond) Everybody Loves Raymond
Pierce Brosnan - Remington Steele or James Bond?  Remington Steele

I once read on a forum that someone said they knew Doris Roberts best as Father Tim's mother on Soap.  She was only in a few episodes ?  Before Everybody Loves Raymond, I actually first thought of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, but she's done so much, it's hard to choose.  I even know her from that St. Elsewhere episode where she played a homeless woman who got gangrene

My friend just reminded me... Johnny Galeki  David Healy on Roseanne or Leonard on Big Bang Theory?


I'm going with David...b

Levar Burton- Kunta Kinte from Roots, Star Trek or Reading Rainbow?


I've never seen Roots before.  So I'm going to say Geordy LaForge from Star Trek TNG.

Mike Stivic for me.



Scott Baio: Happy Days? Joanie loves Chachi? or Charles in Charge?


Charles In Charge

5. Jack Klugman - Odd Couple or Quincy ME

Jack Klugman

I will always know her best as Aunt Angela on The Golden Girls.  For the longest time, I had no idea it was Nancy Walker in that role, but when I found out and questioned why I didn't see it all along, I always think of her when I hear the name Nancy Walker

When I first saw The Steve Harvey show, I recognized him right away from The Cosby Show, and he was only just a recurring character on that show in the later seasons.  The same with Reno Wilson as Carl on Mike and Molly.  I recognized him right away as Theo's college friend Howard

It's Robin's new comedy that just premiered last week.


For me, he is a toss up between Mork and Mrs. Doubtfire,

Oh, I didn't know he was dead. Little Rudy's friend? So cute..


He was sitting in a car when someone came up and just shot him.  I had no idea he was dead until I was watching an episode of The Cosby Show and wondered whatever became of him and looked him up

I know him as the criminal on Seinfeld, but I think he will always be best known as Ron Howard's brother.  Part of the excitement of watching a Ron Howard movie is trying to find Clint, cause you know he has a bit role somewhere.

He is also known for Gentle Ben

She played the role well, because it was years before I realized she wasn't an ornery old woman!

Out of those three, Charmaine.  Mostly just her music, though.

Betty will always be Rose
Rue will always be Blanche  I really love that show.

She played the owner of the department store in Mannequin

Yeah, it's probably (most likely) age related. And it also depends on what part of the world you live in. For example, "Benson" was never aired over here, so I naturally think of René Auberjonois as Odo.


Some younger people though may only know him as "that guy from Boston Legal". I can't seem to remember his character's name.

I still see him best from My Secret Identity.  I think that may be in part that the show was Canadian and was always on at just the right time when nothing else was, so I watched it all the time

If you are over a certain age this is for sure the first thing that leaps to mind in re: Tom Cruise.

There's Ray Liotta in "Something Wild," which is the performance that got him the gig as Henry Hill.  Scorcese liked his intensity.

I always think of him as Bruno Hauptman in the Lindberg kidnapping case (TV Movie in the 1970s)

Marcia Cross was Kate Saunders on OLTL... she was going to marry Cord Roberts when Tina interupted the wedding with that stupid baby Milagro.... later I think the baby was Max's and they named it Al or something... I think that's how it all went down...  anyway i will always remember her for OLTL way before the other two shows...



Actually Baby "Milagro" was Max's & Gabriella's baby-who you are right that they renamed Al. But it later turned out that Tina's baby did survive going over Angel Falls (like Tina did) who was Cord's baby-and he was named C.J.

There's Ray Liotta in "Something Wild," which is the performance that got him the gig as Henry Hill.  Scorcese liked his intensity.


That is my favourite Ray Liotta role, and I will always know him best for that.  He was so vicious, like he always is.  Great acting!

You probably don't recognize him, This is Gino Conforti (aka Felipe The Chef from Three's Company)

He was also in the film Man of La Mancha in 1972.

Gino Conforti and Jordan Charney are unfair to use.  I've seen those two in other roles, but they are commonly best recognized for Three's Company, only because the other roles they did, most people would have to google those.

Here is an actor named Christopher Rich.  They say he is best known for playing Reba's ex-husband Brock on the CW sitcom Reba.

http://media.zenfs.com/en_us/tv_show/TV/christopher-rich-4688.jpg

For those of you who go way back, you may know him as Sandy Cory on the daytime soap Another World, a role he played from 1981-1985 or as Prince Charming on the short-lived 1987-88 sitcom The Charmings.  I will always know him best as the dimwitted reporter Miller Redfield on Murphy Brown.  In fact, the reason I initially started watching Reba was because I recognized him as Miller and I really enjoyed that character so much.  He played the perfect idiot!

He was Johnny Fever in WKRP so that's the answer.  If I remember correctly (it's been a few years) the pilot episode talked about the booger incident....then when Johnny returned to radio at WKRP he made a special point to say "BOOGER!"  ;D

What I am saying Howard is that not everyone around in 1983 was at the right age to watch that show.  I watched it because when it came on the air, I was 5.  If I had of been say 15 at the time, would I have watched it?  Probably not.

I think mine (PBS) came from Buffalo, NY

And I never saw Reading Rainbow. Of course I was in my 20s when it began, no reason for me to watch it.

I never needed Reading Rainbow. I learned to read when I was 3. I entered Pre-K as the only child able to read. At the age of five and six when I supoose most children watched it, I was reading chapter books. LOL. I've always excelled at reading/writing/language arts. Starting writing at nine and won a school-wide anti-drug writing competition at 12.  ;)

Never have been sure what language arts was, but I took it and passed with a B plus.

He was very good in that. I think Michael Keaton's portrayal of Bill totally overshadowed Henry's performance though...but Henry was very good in it....such a change from his "Fonzie" character.
That reminds me I need to watch this film again..it's a good one.

I need to see if it's on dvd... probably not  :-\\

I agree Keaton overshadowed Winkler... winkler was so far removed from what Fonzie.. he was surpringly good at doing nerdy and insecure


That reminds me... another movie I love from the early 80s  (and we already mentioned the lead.... John Ritter

When I'm not thinking of him as Ted in Buffy I think of him as Captain Avenger aka Steve Nichols in Hero at Large ...
I kinda hated Three's Company and never watched 8 Simple Rules so I have to go with my fave John Ritter roles  (third is his role in Sling Blade)

It wasn't that long removed from "Happy Days" and when I saw the film...it was a little surprising for me to see Henry in a nerdy role. I almost wanted to shout at the screen "Snap out of it Fonz, get a spine and put Bill in his place!"  ;D

It wasn't until I saw the film a 2nd or 3rd time, when I was able to remove the preconceived notion on  "how I expected Henry..or Fonzie to act in that role" ...to actually appreciate his acting talent in that film.

I had that problem the first few minutes the first time I saw the film but after awhile I was able to separate the Chuck from Fonzie...  the only real issue I have with the film is the fact that Shelly Long is in it  :D 

Interesting side note... Henry Winkler was more popular than Michael Keaton in 1982 so Henry has top billing  :D

I hear ya.  The one with the original cartoon poster is on DVD, but it's in the old Warner Brothers style cardboard case that you had to crack open on the one side.  That's the one I got.  I did at one point have the foot one because I hate those cardboard cases, but it just creeped me out too much, so i kept the original.

Night Shift is one of my favourite films of the 80s.  I often listen to the instrumental version of That's What Friends Are For by Burt Bacharach.  I think I will watch that movie now lol

Alison Parker on Melrose Place?
Georgia Thomas on Ally McBeal?
Cheryl in According to Jim?
Lyndsey on Two and a Half Men?


What about the short-lived Fast Times or the Mark Harmon flick Summer School? lol

I know her best from According to Jim, but I remember her best from Melrose Place, if that makes sense.  I never watched Melrose, but I watched Jim all the time!

I take it you haven't seen the show in a while lol
She's been a recurring character in the last few seasons as Alan's new girlfriend Lyndsey.  In one episode, he accidentally burned down her house
