Not exactly what the OP is referring to, but Jonathan Freeman reviving his film role of Jafar was kind of cool. Iconic? Maybe he's not widely known when you mention his name, but to Disneophiles it is probably iconic given the number of times he has played Jafar on film and stage, TV shows, and video games.

But not iconic.
I live to see the next revival of Otis Skinner in Kismet. Playing a part for over 20,000 performances, either on tour, in 4 or 5 Broadway revivals and 2 film versions counts for something, no?
