Jennifer Aniston is typecasted into the role of being the ditzy girl next door. And Chris Hemsworth is typecasted to be a strong hero. There are some that aren't typecasted into roles but in my mind, I can't shake the last show they did.
If you're like me you never pick up on TV series' until halfway through the second season, or even later.
I have recently finished watching Dexter on Netflix - a fantastic series about a serial killer forensic technician who works for the local police. So, I moved on to Breaking Bad having seen status after status on facebook about how tragic it was that the series had ended and never having laid my eyes on a single episode myself.
I knew that Bryan Cranston played the iconic chemistry teacher who started cooking Crystal Meth for extra pocket money, Walter White, but was reassured that half-an-hour into the first episode I'd forget his past castings.
I spent my youth watching Malcolm in the Middle on BBC2 before it moved onto Sky1, and now I am halfway through series two of the cancer patients need for cash to treat his illness, I still can't get Hal's whiny face out of my head in one of his many mishaps in the sitcom which ran until 2006.
I have myself typecasted this man.
This fabulous actor who has done a brilliant job portraying his pain, his morality, and his role as a father in a more normal family in this day and age than that of the five troublesome boys, in a role that won him an Emmy Award, earned him five Golden Globe nominations and one win in 2014, nine Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations with four wins, and five Saturn Award nominations with two wins. But, it's too late.
Maybe I have tunnel vision when it comes to what I like and what I expect of people, but going from a comedian to the dramatic Mr White just does not compute.
I've done the same with Daniel Radcliffe. Although The Woman in Black had me not sleeping for two days because I am a light-weight when it comes to scary movies, his baby face is still that of Harry Potter and his slight stutter in year one at Hogwarts.
Now, James Franco - there's a man that I have been unable to typecast.
From his stoned grin in Pineapple Express, to Peter Parker's best friend and enemy, to having to drink his own wee and cut his arm off in 127 Hours. I did not bat an eye at his transformation.
