My apologiesHas anyone pointed out the inappropriate tense of the word 'cast'?

With a few exceptions, nearly every actor.
Most actors have a very broad range, but throughout their career are only given the opportunity to show a small percentage of it. That's often why with high profile TV or movie actors you may feel like you are watching them portray the same character over and over again. This is a by-product of the business. How many times has Adam Sandler played the same obscene clown in recent memory? But I guarantee you he can do much more than that (and we see glimpses of it in Funny People and Punch Drunk Love.)

By the way, isn't 'typecast' the correct term?
What are you a lawyer?
(Both are correct, although typecasted puts more emphasis on past tense action.)
I'm not gynaecologist, but I'll take a look.
I cant believe nobody has mentioned this man...
THE ULTIMATE TYPECAST
This. There are very few actors that play roles that completely separate themselves from other roles in most of their films. To some extent Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr. and Christian Bale are leading examples.
i think depp is actually typecast. i mean every time you need a weirdo/outcast/eccentric he is the go to guy. he hasnt done a normal role in so long, it has even affected the way he talks and behaves in real life. he has developed this weird accent and looks like some kind of cartoon character
