I thought you were just being silly. It hit me what you meant while I was out, on my way to see "Spectre." And, of course, THAT movie featured Rory Kinnear, who played the Monster in Showtime's "Penny Dreadful." So, instead of a "Duh," you get a "D'oh!"
Speaking of "Spectre" ALERT: this is NOT a spoiler (unless you're REALLY picky), there is a scene near the end, where James Bond is in front of a memorial wall for fallen MI6 agents. It was a brief scene, but I'm SURE I saw "Emma Peel" listed. I'd love to get a still of that shot, to see what OTHER fictional British agents were there.

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

It worked. I had no idea until Mastrantonio.

Susan Denberg?
I suppose it's important to note that these are all groups of three, so this is probably not a SINGLE role we're looking for...

That was not a typo.
This thread usually has 3 actors or 3 roles listed.
There's so many actors for this SINGLE role that I posted
them in sets of 3, with more than 1 set per day.
You already missed one name in the list which should have
told you something important besides that there are so many
actors for one role.

That would be my guess, from Jonny Lee Miller. I only recognize a couple of the other actors by name.

No, but it's an interesting coincidence about 2 of those actors portraying SH.
They also were among the actors playing someone else.
George, you missed a familiar name-one that should tell you something
about the character....

(I'm starting to run out of names...)
(BTW, at least 1 portrayal was from 2011, one from 2012, one from 2013,
one from 2014 and one from 2015.)
I think the next posting, I will post all the dead giveaways together.

These are the names I recognize:
Gary Conway
Susan Denberg
David Prowse
Bo Svenson
Jonny Lee Miller
Benedict Cumberbatch
Phil Hartman
Robert de Niro
Chris Sarandon
Especially with Denberg in there, I can't think of a common role. Perhaps they all voiced a common cartoon character?

Does this character even HAVE a name? And when did Cumberbatch play him?

There were voice actors listed-but I think you chose none of them. Jim Cummings is a cartoon voice actor,
for example. And if a character is well-known enough, someone will suggest a variation of
the opposite gender- a number of Harry Potter fanfics have been written about Harriet Potter,
and you're already aware of other roles interpreted so on television.
Come on, picture David Prowse in your head. What adjectives spring to mind?
Doesn't that narrow the possibilities a lot?
In most portrayals, strictly speaking, he does not.
In a few, he does.
BC and JLM both played him in 2011, in the same play, alternating the role
with another (one played one, the other played the other, with who played
which alternating for performances.)

Correct!
I could not accept "Herman Munster" because that name was only used for one version.
I could accept "the creature" because it was used for a few, and
"Frankenstein" likewise, both for "FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER."
David Prowse was VERY TALL.
That narrows down the possible roles.
JLM and BC played Dr F and his monster in a play, with who played who
alternating between performances. (If JLM played Dr F, BC played the monster, etc.)
