matthew broderick
hank azaria

James Earl Jones played the voice of Darth Vader... and that character had an action figure and Pez dispenser.

i was thinking of including that but mcdiarmid's is actually his likeness, not a helmet.

james Earl Jones has a Mufasa action figure...and Broderick has a Simba one..

Dude, I had the special Palpatine action figure that came out in the early 80s after "Return Of The Jedi" -- the one you had to send in proofs of purchase to get. I think it's still at my parents' house somewhere. I remember it was kinda freaky. His robe split in two like they were legs.

There was also a Matthew Broderick Inspector Gadget figure from McDonalds
