24 Fantastic Actors Who Are Constantly Typecast By Hollywood

"He is so easily number one. He's played Tom Cruise in every movie he's ever made. He's the best bartender, the best pool player, the best fighter pilot, the best spy, the best race car driver. He's been doing the same thing for over 30 years!"

"Maybe early in his career it was different, but in the last 20 years he’s just been the high octane action star jumping off buildings and blowing shit up. And he’s always so hyper-masculine like he’s got something to prove!"

— misteryahoo

"She usually plays very 'Rachel-esque' characters in almost all the movies she acts in – a woman who ends up falling in love with a guy she doesn't really like. She's a wonderful talent, so I don't mind, but she's the person I thought of immediately!"

— aroo22

"Our man the rock always seems to play the adventurous, headstrong leader with a caring side in every movie. Great man, albeit the same man over and over."

— alext4e3fc38a7

"Johnny goddamn Depp has played some variation of Jack Sparrow in every role since the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. I feel like I would enjoy Tim Burton movies a lot more if I knew they weren't going to have different iterations of the same character every single time."

— hazelbrown24601

"He always seems to play the same very British, no nonsense, slightly humorous, gut-punching, action-junkie spy man. Even when he plays bad guys, it’s very similar to his good guy characters (*cough* Fast and the Furious *cough*)."

— reneb4b1d76327

— heywassuplol

"Hugh played pretty much the same vaguely charming, intelligent, British bloke with very little moral compass in every film he was in for years. Two Weeks Notice? Bridget Jones? Love, Actually?"

— imo89

— u20609940

— beepsss
