Added a caveat. I'm sure they'll keep recycling the character until the end of time with different actors.

You should add the other Hannibal Lecter actors (from the movies). Also, Emily Blunt also portrayed Mary Poppins. And Zachary Quinto played Spock too in the 2009 reboot.

Also, "famous" is subjective, and yet rampant across this site. How do you define it? Media presence, search engine volume, sales, follower counts, surveys? There needs to be an objective metric when using that term. Or better yet, just drop the term altogether, and use one of the metrics.

It makes zero sense to have two for Obi-wan and not for e.g. Spock.

I can see the rationale for doing it this way. Both Obi-wan actors are well-known for that role, and it could be argued there is some ambiguity about who is more famous for their portrayal at this point. Conversely, of the three actors who have portrayed Spock, I think most quizzers would agree that Nimoy's is the most famous portrayal, so that choice is more clear cut.
