I find that when I watch an actor play a really bad person in a movie, then every time I see them again I think of that. For instance, every time I see Anthony Hopkins in a movie I think of Hannibal Lecter. Anybody else have this problem, and if so, what movie and actor?

Yes, I think this is normal. Some actors can never overcome the initial role that made them famous, like in sitcoms or powerful films.

Antony Hopkins -- WOW! You must have been really affected by his performance. :-) I have that problem when making a switch from TVs to movies (for instance, James Marters will always be Spkie from Buffy for me, even if he stars in the Hollwood blockbuster). And Robert DeNiro's performance as a vengeance-driven rapist in Cape Fear freaked me out, too, so for awhile I had to stop watching his movies. Thankfully, he's DENIRO -- and I finally got over it.
If you want to see Sir Antony in a softer role, rent Hearts in Atlantis. It's sort of a campy movie, but his character is so sweet and wise.

Occasionally. Espcially when I dislike a character with a passion. Or they play a character that I love.
Mark Hamill=Luke Skywalker (which I think is pretty common, considering he never really did anything else afterwards beyond voice work).
Hugh Jackman=Wolverine (I can't help it . . . everything he's in, I still expect him to have claws shoot out his hands)
There are more, but you get the idea.

some times yes and some times no. i think comedy actors have a tough time getting away from that venue for some reason.

No in real life most actors are less human than the carictors that they play in thier movise.
Like Tom Cruse.

Jack Nicholson -- he scares me...I mean even if I were to walk up and talk to him, I would be nervous -- he could blow up like Al Pacino -- or Anjelina Jolie's dad the Hitcher and Anaconda - very bad but they do tend to absorb the energy of the people they portray.

I do sometimes, but it depends on what the role was.
