name the character played by diff actors

ok guys im new here so i thought i would kick things off with a bit of trivia......and this is very hard lol see how you get on with these:

The following groups of actors all have one thing in common – at one time or another in their career, they have all played the same character. Can you figure out what the character is?

1. Bruce Greenwood, Ossie Davis, Steve Reed, Victor Selzak, Martin Sheen (TV

2. Theda Bara, Amanda Barrie, Elizabeth Taylor, Claudette Colbert, Vivien Leigh, Sophia Loren

3. Kevin Costner, Patrick Bergin, Errol Flynn, John Cleese, Sean Connery, Cary Elwes

4. Gary Oldman, Gerard Butler, Leslie Nielsen, Udo Kier, Frank Langella, Christopher Lee, Bela Lugosi

5. Kenneth Branagh, Mel Gibson, Richard Burton, Ethan Hawke, Iain Glen

6. Christian Bale (TV), Willem Dafoe, Jim Caveizel, Victor Garber, Robert Powell (TV) Jeffrey Hunter

8. Robert Carlyle (TV), Anthony Sher, Noah Taylor, Ian McKellen, Udo Kier, Peter Sellers, Derek Jacobi

9. Michael Caine, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee, Basil Rathbone, John Barrymore, Christopher Plummer, Nicholas Rowe

10. Tom Baker, Lionel Barrymore, Christopher Lee, Christopher Lloyd (voice), Karel Roden, Alan Rickman (TV)

How about one at a time..lol. With all those, you're going to overload IMDB.com in no time.

1. President of the US
2. Cleopatra
3. Robin Hood
4. The Devil
5. Hamlet
6. Jesus
7. Queen Elizabeth
8. Adolf Hitler

Only used IMDB for number 9 just for a check - but the rest are a guess.

I'll give it a shot...

1. Patrick Bergin, Sean Connery, John Gielgud, Nigel Terry, Clive Owen
2. Eve Gordon (TV), Mira Sorvino, Stéphanie Anderson
3. Kevin Costner, Buster Crabbe, Burt Lancaster, Kurt Russell, James Stewart
4. Ingrid Bergman, Milla Jovovich, Jane Wiedlin, Leelee Sobieski
5. Rick Baker, Peter Elliott, Sam Hui, Andy Serkis

This time I did use IMDB to get some extras, but I think these are easier than the first lot.

#1 King Arthur
#3 Wyatt Earp
#5 King Kong

I know a couple from each so I assumed the rest fit otherwise theres just some interesting coinsidences
