Hints:
Elizabeth Montgomery is really only famous for one role.
Mary Martin -- Julie Andrews -- Audrey Hepburn: you'll have to know something about Broadway shows.
Marlon Brando, Mel Gibson: sailing, sailing!

Jack Aubrey then?
[After googling: no, that was Russell Crowe I was thinking of.]

Is this a role that only these two actresses have played ?
I'm thinking Elisabeth I, but there must be many actresses that could have been included - Judi Dench, Glenda Jackson, etc

That's right. Thought I'd just choose two contrasting portrayals!

Tyler Durden in Fight Club - love that movie!
Let's see, how about Edward Norton and Eric Bana?

Slightly less obvious would have been Bernard Lee, Robert Brown and Judi Dench.

ocjp 6 — Feeding a person with food is a great thing in this world. Feeding the same person by transferring the knowledge is far more better thing. The reason is the amount of satisfaction which we get through food is of only one minute or two. But the satisfaction which we can get through the knowledge is of life long.

Maybe I was going for obvious
I'm curious, is there any movie role that more actors have portrayed?

No movie role, but I can think of a TV role:
William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Richard Hurndall, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and Matt Smith. There were actually multiple others playing pieces of this role, but these are regarded as the actual 11.

Well, Sherlock Holmes is supposed to be the most often portrayed character, but I don't know how many separate actors have done it. A quick glance at http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0026631/ suggests quite a few, though!

If you include actual historical characters, then the many appearances of Hitler in WWII movies (often briefly) could easily give him the #1 spot.

That's right. Harrison and Murphy both played Dr. Doolittle in movies. Julie Andrews played Eliza Doolittle on stage in My Fair Lady, but was replaced for the movie by Audrey Hepburn, who was a bigger star at the time. In both stage and screen though, the male lead, Henry Higgins was played by whom? Rex Harrison! Weird coincidence there.
What goes around comes around though. Mary Martin played the role of Maria to great acclaim in the stage production of The Sound of Music, but was replaced for the movie by Julie Andrews.

M, at least for Lee and Dench. I don't know Robert Brown. Add Edward Fox to the list though. He played M in Never Say Never.

Right! Although, I gave that away a few posts up.
After making a quick scan, I think these are the ones that remain unanswered:
Laurence Olivier, Mel Gibson
Linda Hamilton, Lena Headey
Amitab, Rajini, Sharukh, Ajith (we may need a hint here)
Edward Norton, Eric Bana
(I'm not counting the ones where the answer was implied to be too obvious to merit posting: Superman, Batman, and Dr. Who.)

Not hard to find out if you eyeball their Wikipedia articles (which I'm assuming is not kosher in this thread), but it would be a lot easier if they ever got that Semantic Web idea off the ground.

Wait, really? Who would need to look at Wikipedia for that? What kind of geeks are you?

Ah, right you are. I meant:

Who's Lena Headey? It seems to me there was a TV series, right? Was she on that?

Answer: Bruce Banner. Bill Bixby is sort of iffy, since he played David Banner, though really the same character. Actors that played the Hulk get really iffy. I'd consider that a different role, but I could see it being argued either way.
