Hollywood is a dreamland for artists where everybody wants to try his/ her luck. Some get incredible success and performs various shades of life while some are not so lucky. Once they are cast in a role thereafter they have to repeat the same characters again and again in their life. People also like them in similar roles, produced and directors find them perfect for such characters and they have to play. Here is a list of such great actors who became typecast in their movie characters and are playing alike roles instead getting other roles.
Christopher Lee
The Kings of darks, owner of supernatural powers and known as super villain in Hollywood, Chrirtopher Lee can be defined as the best suitable actor for any super evil character in a fantasy film. He has played most of super villain’s role in Hollywood films like Dracula, vampire, and the most remembered Saroman in The Lord of The Rings trilogy where he performed against the Gandolf with his evil powers. Simply he is only actor in Hollywood who performed most malevolent and evil roles on the screen since he has been typecast as a greatest villain on screen with 200 movies in his personal account.
Morgan Freeman
Have you remember God in Bruce Almighty, off course he is Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman is famous for his narrating style but he is also known as the wise older man of Hollywood who uses to advice the white leading actors in films. Sometimes he can be viewed in a sage roles or giving sage advices with his magical powers. His two to five minutes appearance is enough to turn the direction of the story because he plays as a sign board to the main actors into finding their path on screen. No matter what other peoples think but he looks happy with his work. Perhaps he is enjoying being the wisest man of the Hollywood. You can say, if Christopher can’t be a gentle man, Morgan would not perform a bad character.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Although Schwarzenegger is enjoying his political career but previously he was known for his super muscle powers. With a rough and tough body, ultimate physique and solid stamina he performed as a superman (not superman) on screen, whether it was terminator, Eraser, Predator or Collateral Damages. He always acted in a super powered man who can turn the situation with his power no matter how are the situations. If we say, Schwarzenegger is the He-man of Hollywood world, it would not be a miracle, after all he never acted like a poor, weak, trapped in odd circumstances, helpless guy in his reel life.
Sylvester Stallone
Another action hero of Hollywood who never played a weak guy’s role in his life. There are one or two films in which he performed like this but that was a foundation to be a rough-tough angry man to switch the center of power from one point to another point. No matter he showed his blood more than his sweat but it is expected all times especially while he is performing an action film.
Jet Li
China born Hollywood actor Jet Li is a martial art specialist and Olympic winner in the same. He eventually entered into the acting but while he joined Hollywood, he earned publicity for his silent, soft, fast and superb sharp mind skills in his movie roles. He acted in both types of negative and positive shades but his personality never changed, if he is in the movie, you will assume that what he is going to do. A silent, sharp and minimal speaker, Jet always did same type roles. It may be his fate that he communicates with his expression than his dialogues.
Jim Carrey
What about Jim Carrey, the most energetic actor & leading guy of ‘The Mask’ and other films. It is said that he is suffering from ADHD but what about his awesome performance that fills you with full of energy. If I am true he never played weeping boy’s character but did comic role with great humorous appearance. We can say him joker of Hollywood who controls the story with his appearance.
Angelina Jolie
Our this list will be incomplete without mentioning Angelina Jolie. The bold, beautiful, slim, sharp and courageous ‘Lara Craft Girl’ is famous for her stunt scenes in her most films. She earned this image from her first action film Lara Craft, which she repeated in its sequel and other actions films like Mr. & Mrs., Wanted, etc. You can say that she is the perfect choice for any action film where you need an actress to perform such roles.
Jason Statham
He either is a driver or will stunt with cars. Jason Statham got recognition first time for his leading role in ‘Transporter’. In the films he performed as a super driver who can do anything with cars right from fast driving to flying the car in sky. He is a Bald, soft-speaker, badass driver who can do stunt too. Perhaps he also likes to be a driver that why he signed several films in a series like Transporter, Crank, War, Death Race, etc. eventually he played as super driver know for excellent stunts with cars.
Reginald VelJohnson
He is most famous for his cop roles in Hollywood films. With an overweight, soft speaker, friendly but a tough cop, definitely you have appraised him several times in Die Hard series. It looks, god has written Reginald destiny that’s why he is a permanent cop in Hollywood even in family stories he plays similar role like he acted as police office in 200 episodes (of Family Matters) in more than nine seasons. Would you like to have same luck?
