My favorite example is Dudley Moore as Arthur Bach in "Arthur."

I just can't think of any other actor who could have played that role.

My favorite is Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, he nailed it he was him... and he has this innocent face that was just so convincing. And his narration with his voice was on point the whole time.
