My favorite of your list is Jan Michael Vincent as Jon Snow. Jan always looked like such a stoner. Plus, I haven't thought of that actor in years.

Actually, he was knee-walking drunk. He appeared in one of his direct-to-video schlockfests with an arm in a cast. He broke the arm when he crashed his car while DUI. Not Jon Snow material, not at all.

Surely we could get Carrie Fisher (Star Wars 1977) in there as well?

In the 70s, it couldn't have been made without Richard Chamberlain. I believe that was in his contract.

And Jimmie Walker would have to get a role. Just to hear him say "Dy-no-MITE!" every week.
