The one role
The death of Yaphet Kotto made e think of this.
You can have a wonderful actor with a llfetime of wonderful work yet there is one role that you remember. Yaphet was Parker in Alien

Hopkins was Hannibal

Re: The one role
Pretty much every leading character in Star Trek, including TNG.
Kirk, Spock, Picard, Data, etc.
Even Shatner's character in Boston Legal made a couple of oblique references to Star Trek.

Re: The one role
Just about every actor who has played “The Doctor” (Though David Tennant seems to be an exception so far)

Re: The one role
Maybe the most striking "one role" given his output
