What actors are the most typecast in Hollywood?

Question

I think Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler always play the same type roles, just to name two.

Answer 1

Kevin Costner. I feel like he's always in sports movies, most specifically, baseball movies. Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, For the Love of the Game.

Vince Vaughn is always the same guy, I feel. Although, he's funny, he there are so many of the same jokes in his movies. I can't think of the specific line but at the end of the Break-Up when he's giving the boat tour he says something he said in Wedding Crashers.

As for the ladies, I don't know. Keira Knightley is always the same to me.. a pouty, romance actress -- even if she's not in a romantic movie, she's still the romantic object (like Pirates, for example). Atonement, Pride & Predjudice, Love Actually.

Answer 2

I think Steven Seagal and Jude Law are the other actors who always play the same type of roles. Steven beats up the bad guys whenever he sees them, but can still be watchable. Jude talks nonsense all the time and his roles and his movies are completely tortourous.

Answer 3

Jennifer Aniston keeps playing the same mundane roles!
