Uh, what was your name again?

This week's Monday Movie Quiz is all about characters and the actors who played the part.
For some of these I've left out the most famous character as being too much of a giveaway, or maybe the name was a part of the movie title.
Each list is in roughly chronological order, so the first one is the oldest one.
Looks more difficult than it is, not helped by my rubbish explanation.
Give it a go and it will start to make sense.
Name the actor.
