I have to assume that some of these are voice characters. I have trouble seeing Curtis Armstrong or Ted Knight in the same roles as Brent Spiner or Joaquin Phoenix.

Going on Phoenix and Leto, let's try
The Joker
George
That is CORRECT. Hard to imagine Curtis Armstrong actually played him in something, but The Joker has been around in a LOT of formats. I didn't even get to the more famous portrayals. Ted Knight, Frank Welker and Lennie Weinrib did a lot of voice acting for 60s/70s cartoons, so that limited the choices a lot.
Knight was the narrator on Super-Friends and, I believe both The Superman-Aquaman Hour of Adventure and the Batman-Superman Hour. Having him do the occasional Joker appearance is believable. I'm surprised you didn't use Mark Hamill, whose Joker in more recent Bat-cartoons is considered iconic. Obviously, Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson would have been giveaways.

I was waiting to use Hamill next, since I thought he was almost as much a giveaway as some of the live actors.
Can't wait for the Joaquin Phoenix movie next week "Joker" to come out. I guess I'm backtracking but how does Joaquin Phoenix get into this list of actors if the movie hasn't come out yet? WordWolf were you forecasting again?

There's no rule in place yet, but I'm using a few that I think are common sense. I limit myself to one role/actor for the list that hasn't aired in theaters yet. The actor and the role both have to be known to a degree, and it has to be inside the next year. The reason for the last "rule" is that there's been hoopla and discussion about the upcoming movie if it's airing soon, so people may well know who's expected. It certainly was a better clue than Lennie Weinrib, and he's played the Joker more than once.
I kept my mouth shut, but Amanda Dell from Let's Make Love.
In Scream 2, by the way SPOILER ALERT, Laurie Metcalf does indeed play Debbie Salt, but she is later revealed to be "Mrs. Loomis." AKA "BILLY's .... MOTHER!!!!!"

He was looking for it to use as a clue in a game round a few weeks after he was looking for it. Meanwhile, I hope he posts the next one soon.

Refreshing the page after submitting works, too. George

Well ... yeah. I was about 15 when it came out. (Saw it a couple of years later, when I was in college.) Fonda DID win the Best Actress Oscar for the performance. George

No, but I would love to see Brent Spiner and Alan Tudyk attempt to play "Johnny Cash" sometime.

No. Interesting choice, though. This actress is more well-known.

I thought ROse Loomis might have been the name of her character in Scream 2. (Spoiler alert)

I don't understand the "Spoiler Alert" bit, but Metcalf's role in Scream 2 was "Debbie Salt."

That was a fake name.
