It's a toss-up: Cuba Gooding, Jr. will always be remembered as Trey Styles to me. However, I am sure that a lot of people will remember him as Rod Tidwell in "Jerry Maguire." SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Ralph Macchio - The Karate Kid OR Eugene "Lightning Boy" Martone (Crossroads); any role with him as a teenager hanging around an old man of another ethnicity.

Joe Seneca - Willie Brown

Giancarlo Esposito - Dean "Big Brother Almighty" - though he has played a number of very different roles that he really cannot be typecasted into one character. BTW, I didn't find him to be very believable as Buggin' Out (Do The Right Thing).

Kimberly Elise - TT (Set it Off) - Though I saw her in John Q and she was GREAT; I didn't even recognize her until I saw the credits and I was floored. Now THAT'S some acting.

Alphonso Ribiero - Carlton or Dr. Maxwell Stanton (In The House), any role with him playing second fiddle to a rapper.

Damon Wayons - any In Living Color role.
