Day Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 When you watch a film, see an actor or actress that you struggle to look beyond a character they have played in another film and kinda ruins the film you’re watching… Daniel Craig - James Bond Bruce Willis - John McClane Arnold Schwarzenegger - Terminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjam Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 (edited) Mark Hamill - Luke Skywalker Carrie Fisher - Leia Harrison Ford - probably 100s of roles but despite being a massive Star Wars fan, Indiana Jones Whats his face - Harry Potter Pretty much everyone in the MCU!

It hasn't effected their careers as such, although younger actors such as the Harry Potter guy, a series which you would struggle to name a film he was in prior, be harder for them to shake that tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the whole point of those films above is that he's being knowingly cast against type, therefore confirming the very stereotype he'd built up?

Gaspode Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 There are also a few actors who reverted to just playing themselves - after Bond, Sean Connery was just Sean Connery whatever role he was suppsoed to be playing. Same with Michael Caine - posh bloke in Zulu and then Michael Caine in every film since then..... Mostyn6 and hintonsboots 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
