Best Character Names

What is the all-time best name for a character? Choose from films, TV shows, cartoons, anything. But please, only post this information:

Character Name - Played by (if known) - Title of show/film

Here are mine:

Tyler Durden - Brad Pitt - Fight Club
Keyser S�ze - Kevin Spacey - The Usual Suspects
Furious Styles - Laurence Fishburne - Boyz N The Hood

Darth Vader- Star Wars

Any name from an Austin Powers movie.
The female lead in the James Bond film Goldfinger.

Obviously a couple of the matrix crew need a mention.

Morpheus - Laurence Fishburne (again) - The Matrix
Dr.Robotnik - - Sonic The Hedgehog
Random Task - ? - Austin Powers 1

Take off of the character Odd Job. Also Goldfinger.

Off the top of my head I always like 'Map To the Stars' Eddie as a name from Escape from LA. I'll have to think some more about that though, there's so much to choose from...

Tony Montana - Scarface

Odd Job is a rubbish name though, Random task is better.

Let's see, Scarface was on Sky 1 last night in Britain, and finished at 1.15 this morning. Dreamlandmafia posts

Tony Montana - Scarface

Yes, but did anyone get the "female lead in Goldfinger"? Guys, this ones for you, by far the best character name. Trust me. Google it if you have to, you'll love it.
