Some actors are admired and respected for their ability to portray wildly different type of characters in a compelling and realistic manner. On the other end of the spectrum, there are many actors who seem to play the same variation of a character over and over again and have essentially become associated with it for better and for worse.
Bros Review: The series, as the title suggests, is about two adult men who want to behave like children and we are not here for that.
Going Home With Tyler Cameron Review: This is a simple, no-nonsense but cliched watch, with Cameron's boyish charms taking centre stage.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Adam Sandler in Reign Over Me.
Jason Statham in Snatch.
I'm sorry...but this is bad journalism.
Gotta agree with "Newn4gguy" - well, to a degree.
However, for me this list has NO credibility if it does not include Danny Trejo...the man has made a living out of type-casting.
Think on next time.
Jim Carrey - The Truman Show, 23, The Majestic, Eternal Sunshine...have we not seen any of those?
Nic Cage - Matchstick Men, Adaptation, The Weather Man, World Trade Center...any of those ring any bells?
Sure there are some actors on this list that have been typecast (Michael Cera for sure), but on the whole I don't think this was thought out all the way. Sure some of them have appeared in a few similar roles, but there is plenty of diversity in their portfolio.
The majority of these actors like doing the roles they do. That's why they do them. I think Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler, although very comical in their films, have done some really great work in more serious roles (Reign Over Me, Eternal Sunshine). They are great actors who just prefer to make people laugh and are good at it.
I think Michael Cera even grew as an actor in "Scott Pilgrim." He actually showed some range in his acting. Before I thought he never really showed any real emotion. But he definitely has a long way to go. We were introduced to Zooey in "Almost Famous" and she was great. She didn't have a big role but now I appreciate it even more after seeing her more recent movies.
