Extreme Cases of type casting

Yall know what this means when they are playing the same damn part in every single movie they are in, examples...

Ray Winstone: British Sweary Tough Guy
Jason Statham: British/American Tough Super Skilled Specialist
Maggie Gyllenahll: Waiting around to get ****ed very graphically
Christian Bale: (The fighter being an exception) hard faced intense broodmaster
Adam Sandler: Angry Guy or Retard
Josh Brolin: Cold Hearted Villain
Tom Hanks: Mr Nice Guy
Joe pantiliano: Italian American Scumbag
Joan Allen: Sexless Super Dyke


Any more?



Joan Allen? Really? I've not kept up with her films of late, as she's not been in anything I've had much interest in, but this doesn't sound like Joan Allen at all.

BTW, you missed "Grumpy/Angry/Shouty Jack" - Jack Nicholson, "Shouty Al" - Al Pacino, "OTT Hollywood Villain" - Gary Oldman, "Given Up Trying/Doing Comedies For Fun" - Robert De Niro, "Grizzled Old Man With A Good Heart" - Clint Eastwood.

Of course, there's also the ultimate - "Gothic/German Expressionist Styled Film Starring One Or Both Of Johnny Depp And Helena Bonham Carter" - Tim Burton.



Sit Ubu Sit.... Good Dog
John Wayne: someone with a gun (cowboy or soldier)
Leonard Nimoy: anything Science Fiction
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Always blowing stuff up
Danny DeVito: someone short
Glenn Morshower: FBI, CIA, NCIS, Secret Service always some government job
James Franco: Stoner
Patrick Stewart: British

I have an idea that Tom Hanks can be a serial killer with 80s glasses. Hopefully if someone from hollywood had that idea, Tom Hanks would avoid typecast.



Milla Jovovich as a gun totting superheroine. I don't mind though because she is beautiful



Vince Vaughn plays the exact same guy in every film. Even if he's supposed to be different, his mannerisms, facial expressions and gestures are weirdly identical. He just punches in, goes through the motions and then punches out. Rinse & Repeat.



Tommy Lee Jones - weary aging sherriff

Hugh Grant - English twit/love interest

Joe Pesci - He used to be a funny nasty crook, now he's a funny nice crook.

Sandra Bullock - Bland rom-com lead.

Kate Beckinsale - Action lady...must...wear...tight...fitting...outfit.

Bill Murray - Lovable deadpan cynic.

Steve Buschemi - The offbeat eccentric oddball - kinda funny lookin'

Harrison Ford - The aging politician/journalist - insert meaningful career here - but he's still a big hit with the ladies.

Simon Pegg - affable English horror/sci-fi comedy lead who you'd love to be mates with.



Oh i forgot

Brian Cox: Likeable 3 Dimensional Super Villian (one of my fave actors)
Will Smith: Heart of Gold with a Sense of humor
Martin Lawrence: IM BLACK YALL!!!!



28 days...6 hours...42 minutes...12 seconds

Same goes for Seth Rogen, even when he's playing a superhero.

Robert Downey, Jr.: the fast-talking smarta** who made it cool to be a fast-talking smart-a** ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "Sherlock Holmes," "Iron Man")
