In addition to playing Master Po on "Kung Fu" (does that make him "Po-faced?"), KEYE LUKE is probably the first Asian-American to play a superhero: i.e., Kato of "Green Hornet" fame.
BURT LANCASTER played a pirate in a world with some uncanny SF-elements.
RICHARD LLOYD as "Samson" butted heads with Hercules while Ulysses looked on and took bets from the locals.
FRANK LANGELLA's voice is the best part of the He-Man live-action film.
Since I'm not linking Boris Karloff to his perf as Fu Manchu, I'll go with his devious daughter Fah Lo Suee, as portrayed by later A-lister MYRNA LOY.
I thought about linking CHRISTOPHER LEE to his internationally known role as Dracula. But I went with his role as Fu Manchu, because even though none of the films are great, Lee looks the most like the character as described by creator Sax Rohmer.
