Characters you want/ actors you don't→[More:]Don Draper/John Hamm. Don't know why, but I only find him attractive as Don. Sherlock/Benedict Cumberbatch.
Or the other way: actors you want, except as certain characters.
Chris Pratt has played a lot of assholes, but now I just see the actor, again.
Another Mad Men bit, Connor yes, Pete no, Vincent no. And no Dick Whitman, just Don. Dick moment melt away all attraction.
Speaking of, well, "being himself", I can't stand Tom Cruise playing anything but an asshole (Color of Money, Rainman) or Leonardo DiCaprio as anything but a kid or mentally-deficient or preferably both (What's Eating Gilbert Grape). I can't even fathom DiCaprio as any kind of hero, especially in the Gangs of New York fiasco that somehow netted Daniel Day Lewis (who, like Guy Pearce, can take any part whatsoever, male or female, although hopefully they're both above playing James Bond). I'll admit I didn't hate DiCaprio in a couple films, though.
