Glenn Mcgrath's action.
Anil Kumble perhaps -- an old timer at the SCG test said that Anil's action was remarkably similar to Bill O Reilly.
I never saw footage of Tiger O Reilly so I can't comment on this.
But Kumble's action is certainly unique in the cricket that I have seen.
Out of interest, if anyone has seen newsreel footage of O'reilly ; are they similar ?

There is a little bit of Wasim Akram's action in young Pathan's action.
The two deliveries he bowled to dismiss Waugh and Gilchrist in Sydney were certainly reminiscent of the reverse swinging balls that Akram frequently produced.

State Vice-Captain
Merv hughes once spotted that a new zealand batsman only looked up when he was about to deliver it so the next delevery he bowled from about 10 yards behind the umpire so the batsman wouldnt see it, the batsman didnt get out but it led to a change in the laws of cricket

Only a few years back Andre Adams used to mix up his normal deliveries by bowling the same as ever, but off literally a 2 pace run-up (in NZ domestic one-dayers). He started his run-up at the end of the pitch, I don't think I have even seen a spinner use such a short run-up. I have no idea why he did it though.
Kerry Walmsley- does the big double arm salute before each ball.
Mohammad Sami deserves a mention for changing his action in between spells and often in the middle of an over. Has anyone noticed this? Usually he generates all his pace through his remarkably quick arm action and delivery stride, but sometimes he bowls with a completely different action. You will notice he takes a much more extravagant, slower delivery stride with his left foot, and winds up more. Everything happens slower but he bowls at about the same pace.
