Actors Who Should Play Trope Archetypes

So this is not “Actors Who’ve Played These Archetypes,” it’s more, people who’d be really good at playing this kind of archetype, or might be good, or just whatever. Some of these might be roles this actor has played in the past incidentally, so don’t downvote everyone, but don’t fill it up with the actual actors intentionally cuz it ruins the fun.
