Michael Caine

He's one of the greats, and not just because he's Batman's butler. He's been nominated for six Oscars (and has won two), and though he's now a Knight of the British Empire, we'd love to see him go back to his Cockney roots. Mr. Bates is in prison, so though a replacement has already been cast, we wouldn't mind a plot twist that put Caine in charge of the joint.
