Famous typecasted actors

I wouldn't say Hugh Laurie was typecasted. Hugh Grant definitely
 
To stop himself from being typecast, Hugh Laurie should get involved in another Blackadder production
 
Danny Trejo - badass Mexican
Hugh Grant - English gent
Michelle Rodriguez, butch chick
Seth Rogen - Weed smoking layabout

Outside bet - Will Smith as a cop?!
Bad Boys I and II, Enemy of the State, Independence Day, Men in Black I II & III, I, Robot, Wild Wild West.

Probably a bit harsh on Will Smith as he's played other roles, but he's been in the cop role in a lot of films...
 
Michael Cera is the obvious one that hasn't been mentioned yet.
 
Actually that's not really true at all... but even when he isn't playing someone strange he looks strange.
 
Denzel Washington

All black women over 45, in roles other than a politician's wife.
 
He is kindve right, Depp has played a similar character in a number of movies

So has every other lead actor alive as well. That's not the same as typecast.

Chocolate, Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Similarities with these two movies is the title. It stops there.

Pirates of the Caribbean, From Hell. He has a kind of beard in both.

It's not typecast. He's the opposite of typecast.
 
Of course Samuel L Jackson is typecast, he is ALWAYS a cool as feck badass mother fecker....and quite rightly so as he is without a doubt the coolest man alive......I mean he Played Jules Winnfield AND Mace Windu.....and got to see christina Ricci in the Buff.

I wish I was SLJ instead of the dipshit I really am :(
 
Is this the lets name random actors thread? Samuel L Jackson my arse. m
