It's a testament to RedCafe that I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling.

Matthew Perry has played a few different roles quite well. He had a brief stint in The West Wing and his character in Studio 60 was also nothing at all like Friends.
Don't think Laurie is, either.
John Cusack, Adam Sandler (although thats generally by choice because he casts himself) and to go along with that, The Stapler, Rob Schnider.
Jerry Stiller? angry old jewish man 'this is on the basis that he was Jewish in king of queens'
Jason Statham plays Jason Statham in every movie he is in.
Could everyone who thinks an actor is type cast explain what that actor is type cast as/how. It will avoid alot of arguing.
Anyone who plays Doctor Who apart from maybe Christopher Eccleston
Winner.
It must be nice to be him. He gets to play a badass in every movie.
And he's nailing Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
Danny Dyer but also Vinnie Jones, Tammer Hasen and that other bloke who plays the hard character in Mean Machine, Football Factory and Top Boy TV series. Same roles, same acting bang on every time.
Nicolas Cage gets all kinds of different roles but is just style all the time. You could take his acting out of one film, place it in the next and probably get away with it. Can't stand him.

Some people don't know the meaning of type-casting.
Every actor has his distinct style so if he uses it in most of his movies where he isn't required to something different, he can't be type casted.

So who can be type-casted?
Some bizarre shouts in this thread. Samuel Jackson?? Christian Bale? 
One who hasnt been mentioned is that mexican women - Michelle Rodriguez or whatever. Shes not very famous but shes the definition of typecasted. "Oh hey guys, how about getting in a mexican woman who is kinda badass so we have some diversity in our movie"

#11th post, but I agree with you, it's like she can only do one role. Dislike her though, horrible actor and her characters are horrible as well but I suppose she is not to blame for that.
Luis Guzman
He was a child in Empire of the Sun!
Mark Strong.
He's been a bad guy in every movie I've seen him in bar Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He just has that 'bad guy' face.

Yep, he would have been my next suggestion.
His character was not Jewish in Seinfeld and i'm pretty sure he was not even Jewish in King of Queens.
He does play "shouty old odd person" in everything though.
Pretty sure he was Jewish in Zoolander though.
Vincent Cassel - Psychotic characters
Sean Penn - Depressed characters
Sean Penn - Depressed characters
Gary Busey - mental badass
Sean Penn depressed? Spicoli!
Woody Allen, although he writes his own roles so not sure that counts.
