Movies What actors/actresses always play the same roles?

[Alphaboy]

For example, this dude plays the same Vato in every movie. He actually isn't even Mexican, he's Italian, just has the look.

Noel Gugliemi

Jason Statham only plays action roles. Tom Cruise, though he used to play different roles in the beginning of his career only really plays action movies where he's running or jumping out of a helicopter or some crap now.




Kevin Hart plays the same jumpy clown in every movie.


Adam Sandler plays fools with speech impediments


Danny Trejo - Though he's not really acting; just playing himself.

and pretty much any LGBT celebrity just plays themselves in every show.


(Michelle Rodriguez - The tomboy)

(Billy Porter - flamboyant Queen)

Ellen Page and Sarah Paulson (to an extent)

 

[ineverpost]

Ben Stiller always plays a moron

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Sensei Seagal always plays an overweight invincible hero

However even Gary Oldman looks up to this actor for his diversity in his roles

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Tommy Lee Jones is great but it feels like 90% of his roles for the last 25 years have just been some form of Deputy Gerard

 

[Naught2Sixty]

Michael Tritter is always playing a cop.

 

[Sonny Qc]

will ferrel always plays.... will ferrel

But in comedy it's pretty standard

The Most Entertaining Person Onscreen

[Aegon Spengler]

Anthony Hopkins explained in an interview that this is how Hollywood was built. He said something like “If you want to see Bruce Willis as John McLean fighting in a building, you’ll want to see him as John McLean fighting in space too.”

Now that you mention it, that's true... people who do comedy only really play themselves. Most are comedians.

 

[revoltub]

Gugliemi is half mexican

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

Luke Goss is famous now.

Someone should tell him that.

 

[fingercuffs]

Statham is typecast for sure. Lock, Stock gave him his break which is my favorite film and no one appears to have seen his movie London which was brilliant. And a serious movie.

 

[Brom Bones]

Michael Madsen.

 

[Losfer Words]

Al Leong

 

[fungi]

Leo Decaf.
Always plays a 40+ y.o. dudes with teen faces.
A talentless hack.

The Flawed American Man (cf William Goldman)

The Last Fucking Guy You Wanna Deal with RN

Young Rebel (and nine-time Harrison Ford Belt holder for finger-pointing)

In Love with the WRONG One

I Don't Want to Say She Deserved to Die But

More Gary Oldman than Gary Oldman

(Default) Harrison Ford

White Harrison Ford (having been replaced so thoroughly by the former Black Harrison Ford as a leading man)

You watched it?! Fuck me, you're the second person I know online that has seen it. And I'm going back probably 15 years ago when I had that discussion with him. I thought it was ace.

I like Statham movies, but Lock, Stock is the best by far.

What's London about? I saw him in ....Something...."Safe" that's it. Way better than I expected.
