Actors who play roles others have undertaken risk comparison to their predecessors. There will always be arguments over who is the best James Bond (it's predictable, but I like Sean Connery the most) or the best Dracula (Bela Lugosi and his accent are legendary but Christopher Lee was a better, less hammy actor and Gary Oldman conveyed world-weariness well), among many others.
