I grew up watching Happy Days in the 1970s and I like Richie Cunningham's character portrayed by Ron Howard better than the Opie Taylor's character on the Andy Griffith Show. Besides, The Andy Griffith Show debuted in 1960, four years before I was born.
Most of the actors I remember from childhood watching TV with Dad. When they did their 2nd roles I was a teen & out with friends or doing homework, not watching as much TV
I always thought of Bill Bixby as the dad in COURTSHIP OF EDDIE"S FATHER, an important show, also the housekeeper was a female ASIAN AMERICAN for the late sixties, that was a big deal!
Why did every question add up to 99%? It's not like people could choose "no opinion".

A few of these were hard to choose for me. I associate each actor equally for the choice given in #6, 7, 9, and 13.
Personally I always associated the actor Bill Bixby with the role of DAVID BANNER and not BRUCE BANNER.
92% similar
Of course, everything added up to 99% and as far as #'s 2, 8, 11 and 13 go, I couldn't care less which one.

Andy Griffith is always Lonesome Rhodes (from A Face in the Crowd) and Ron Howard is always Genius (from Village of the Giants) to me.
