Other Actors/actresses you've typecast to a specific role?

[Fortitude]

Name them and what the role was.

For me, this is probably the worst one I have:


as no matter what he's acting in or how good a performance he's giving, he's always Schillinger on day release in my head. Watching him as J. Jonah Jameson, for example, I'm just waiting for the expletives and someone to get called a prag.

Thinking about it, he's the strongest left impression I have. Who fits the thread for you?

 

[horsechoker]

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, he basically plays Deadpool/Wade Wilson in everything now.

 

[Vidyoyo]

Takeshi Kitano, always plays the angry middle-aged man

 

[Dan]

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, he basically plays Deadpool/Wade Wilson in everything now.

He plays himself in everything he’s ever done.

 

[0le]

Dwayne Johnson - Hero who uses his strength to overcome everything.

Man in khaki clothes in the jungle

 

[Withnail]

Tom Cruise type cast as a shit eating grin wearing cnut in cuban heels.

 

[rizx]

Steven Seagal, doesn't even need explanation

 

[Samid]

Grade A twat

 

[P-Ro]

A fat pussy

 

[Withnail]

A fat pussy

That's an insult to fat pussies

He plays himself in everything he’s ever done.

Yeah, that's it. Seth Rogen is another one. It's not a type, it's just them. Although I guess Ryan Reynolds did have a (tiny) bit more variety in his acting style pre-Deadpool.

I’ll raise you Hugh Grant. He probably has more range than he gets credit for, but he plays himself in just about every rom-com that was realised between 1995 and 2005.

 

[Moiraine]

Boromir
Lord Eddard Stark
Lewis Therin Telamon (Wishful thinking).

Would have nailed that third role snd nobody would have any issues for him. Should really have completed the Trinity

 

[Cheimoon]

Well raised - and make that 2009. Although I know nothing about Hugh Grant outside his films, so maybe he isn't his stock characterin real life. I guess he was a little different recently in Florence Foster Jenkins and The Gentlemen though. (Although a bit similar in those!)

Anyway, back on topic - I find it difficult to unsee Harry Potter in Daniel Radcliffe (saw the trailer for Escape from Pretoria yesterday, and it seemed odd to see Harry Potter appear in prison there...), or Frodo Baggins in Elijah Wood. As much as they've both taken on roles exactly to break with that image!

 

[Eyepopper]

Post Matrix Keanu Reeves

 

[hellhunter]

Adam Sandler.

Was about to say Kevin James, but then I saw him play an ultra brutal neo nazi recently

 

[Woodzy]

Jim Carey. In the comedies at least, which is 90% of his work.

 

[Moby]

Samuel Jackson never really stopped playing Jules.

 

[Tarrou]

Shane from the Walking Dead always plays the same ex-army angry-man type bloke

 

[lilcurt]

Vin Diesel... Family man.

 

[lilcurt]

Robert Downie Jr will always be Ironman now.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Elijah Wood.

West Ham supporter.

 

[Old Ma Crow]

Woody Allen usually another subtle version of himself.

 

[Simbo]

Drogo is always Khal Drogo.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

Michael Cera has only ever played various versions of George Michael Bluth in everything. Awkward, mumbling, nervous. I'd be surprised if his range goes beyond that.

Danny McBride also only has one speed, and it's great. Loud, obnoxious, major league piece of shit. If I see him playing any other character then I want my money back.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Adam Sandler.

Uncut Diamonds was brilliant.

Danny McBride also only has one speed, and it's great. Loud, obnoxious, major league piece of shit. If I see him playing any other character then I want my money back.

His only slightly off beat roles happened in movies with Seth Rogen and James Franco, Pineapple Express and This is the End were both awesome.

 

[Green_Red]

Ray Liotta

 

[horsechoker]

Ray Liotta

Best known for voicing Tommy Vervetti in GTA Vice City

 

[Mike Smalling]

He plays himself in everything he’s ever done.

Exactly. And he’s not nearly as charming and witty as he thinks he is.

For me, I can’t see past Richard Winters from Band of Brothers whenever I see Damian Lewis in something.

 

[Bubz27]

Sean William Scott can only be Stiffler.

 

[Oranges038]

Name them and what the role was.

Ernie Hudson is always Warden Leo Glynn. Even when I watch Ghostbusters now he's still just the warden.

 

[Green_Red]

Best known for voicing Tommy Vervetti in GTA Vice City

Goodfellas

 

[SirAF]

Robert Knepper as T-Bag

 

[SilentWitness]

Very Scottish detective.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Liam Neeson. Needs no explanation.

 

[horsechoker]

Goodfellas

Yeah Tommy and Lance were

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, he basically plays Deadpool/Wade Wilson in everything now.

In this case you're not really stereotyping. He actually plays the same character in every movie.

 

[Himannv]

Jason Statham and Adam Sandler - The characters they play are always the same regardless of the movie.

 

[Red Devil 26]

Kevin Spacey. Always measured with sinister, psychopathic undertones.
