I don't know anyone who's played all of those roles before. Just going from their range, I'm going to guess "GARY OLDMAN" because he's willing to sit in a chair for hours each day to play any of those roles.
I'm not sure you're in the right thread. My last post was
No. This woman did receive a title of Baroness before her death but was not of England's royal lineage. (In fact, I hadn't known she HAD a title until just now looking up her Wikipedia site.)
Stephan Bender Jackson Warris Malkolm Alburquenque
Gerard Christopher John Haymes Newton Aaron Smolinski
Dylan Sprayberry- Man of Steel. Cooper Timberline- Man of Steel. George Newbern- Superman VS The Elite, and Injustice: Gods Among Us, and The Batman (cartoon series.) Stephan Bender- Superman Returns. Jackson Warris- Smallville. Malkolm Alburquenque- Smallville. Gerard Christopher- Superboy. John Haymes Newton- Superboy. Aaron Smolinski- Superman the Movie (the kid who lifts the car above Jonathan Kent when the jack slips out and the car drops towards JK.) With the exception of George Newbern, the names I gave so far were for actors who played young Clark Kent, generally in elementary school age or thereabouts. There's been a lot of depictions of Clark as a kid.
BTW, in reading about how Superman keeps his identity, people seem to have left out the most practical reason to disbelieve Superman and Clark Kent are the same person- they have been seen in the same place at the same time. After the "Death of Superman" storyline, and after the "Return of Superman" storyline, Superman had returned, but Clark was still one of hundreds of people missing since the day Doomsday attacked Metropolis and "killed" Superman. When Jimmy Olsen welcomed Superman back and asked if he'd seen Clark, Superman paused, and, using his enhanced hearing, located a trapped dog. (He was clearing up a recent battle site, and the dog had been trapped for a few hours.) Jimmy: "Wow, I bet that's what happened to Mr Kent!" Superman: *thinking* "OF COURSE!" The next issue began with Superman rescuing Clark out from under some rubble, with cameras recording it all. Lois posed with her arms around them, one arm around Clark, one arm around Superman. Then Clark was checked out by a doctor. Clark mentioned having managed to reach an equipped fallout shelter, so he had access to food and water, and did what he could to exercise, so he needed a shave but otherwise seemed in decent health. Then Lois drove Clark home, and Superman came in through the window. "Kent, hands off my woman!" Lois told off Superman for addressing her like that. Clark applauded, saying nobody should get away with that, not even Superman. "Clark" then transformed back into the shapechanger Matrix (with some difficulty.)
The Martian Manhunter has been known to help with that sort of thing as well, shapechanging so a Justice Leaguer could be in costume AND his identity at the same time. Tim Drake (Robin/"Red Robin") got help from Miss Martian the same way once, even faking "Tim" being shot and wounded while Robin looked for the shooter- all so Tim had an excuse to need assistance walking and look rather unable to run, jump, etc. (It helped cover Tim Drake's disappearance during "No Man's Land".)
Although I do like that a few characters have casually mentioned that we all know Superman does not HAVE a secret identity, and is Superman 24/7 , an idea Lex Luthor was sure of back in the "Man of Steel" miniseries following CoIE. Lex found it ridiculous that someone as powerful as Superman would pretend to be as powerless as a normal human.

I did get a kick out of that Man of Steel part where one of Luthor's assistants points out that Superman MUST be Clark Kent, and Luthor dismisses him.
In the Man of Steel comic book miniseries, LL programmed a giant supercomputer with everything he had on Clark Kent and Superman, trying to find out their connection. The computer spit back "Clark Kent is Superman." Luthor almost kicked the machine in dismissing it. The idea that Superman would pretend to be human some of the time was so ridiculous to him, he never entertained it. Of course, later, he'd seen both together, so....

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.

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

There are other, even-lesser-known actresses. Would it help if I mention that the character is (or was) an actual Englishwoman?

That narrows the field a lot. If Carol Burnett was in the list, I'd feel more comfortable about guessing "QUEEN ELIZABETH", aka The Queen Mother.

I'll ignore my first response, and go with the Corsican instead.
How about "NAPOLEON BONAPARTE"?

I know Newton from two TV shows. The Untouchables (1990s version) and
Superboy (?)

(It might be a more generic Clark Kent/Superman. I think Newbern voiced Superman in the Justice League shows.)
