Typecast actors

Michael Wincott was typecast as villains a lot wasn't he, early on.

I always wondered if she was ever insulted that she's always cast as the crazy woman.

The hot villain.
I think it's his voice. He had the Bale Batvoice long before Bale did it.

I'm not sure as well whether he pitches it like that for effect. I saw him at a premier for The Three Musketeers where his voice was much higher and he was calling to his "buddy" Gary Oldman . One of my favourite actors.

Wait...what? He has a non-gravelly voice IRL? I have to question life now!!!!

It happens – William Hartnell apparently pitched his voice down when he became an actor. He's another one who was often typecast, as heavies or gruff sergeants, having been a comedy actor when he started in films.

Will Arnett's voice freaks me out. He sounds like the trailer guy, on steroids snd his face doesn't match his voice! HOLD ME!!!!!

Oh yeah, I remember him in 30 Rock.

That's where I got the most exposure to the phenomenon that is that man's voice, and the repeat inner "wtf it isn't anything like his face!!!" yeah I may never get ovr this.

It's a good thing Hollywood hasn't noticed or he'd get typecast too.

I much prefer him in drama to comedy these days. He was great in Truman Show and MotM.

@Dani8 Did you ever see Doing Time on Maple Drive? I think that was the first non-comedic role I saw from him. I too much prefer him in dramas or dramedies.

I had to look that up. Doesnt ring a bell, Cat.

Ooohhh worth a watch if you like him in teh dramaz.

Sam Elliott - guy with moustache

I saw him in one without his moustache...it was all wrong!!!

then it wasn't the REAL Sam Elliott

Tom Hanks is often casted as a real life hero.


He is nearly always playing a heroic real life person.


I have yet to see him play a villain and haven't seen him play much fictional characters.


In his younger years he was type casted in comedies now he's type casted in biopics.


Some others that are all ways type casted.


Seann William Scott


Ashton Kutcher


Sam. L. Jackson


Mark Wahlberg


Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise?

In recent years, yes.


In most of his films in the past 10 years he has been playing the eccentric action hero.

Interesting...never thought of Berenger as typecast but I guess there is an argument for it...though he was hardly angry or grizzled in The Big Chill or Eddie and the Cruisers.
