I`m pretty slapstick in my life but nobody sees that. You get typecast. I`m from New York and I have a shit-detector that`s outspoken. I`m very streetwise and the producers detect that. So they get me on a movie and kill me. I go into their offices and I`...
Lance Henriksen
(on being typecast) If you look at the careers of people like Anthony Quinn, Cagney, even Tommy Lee Jones, they all were cast as villains. There comes a certain point in your life, in your late 30s, early 40s, when suddenly that can change. Maybe a direct...
Robert Davi
[1998] "I create challenges by the roles I take. I`m sort of proud of the fact that I`m not really typecast. People are always trying to get a handle on what you do. With me either it`s my sex trilogy - Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992) and D...
Michael Douglas
For a long time, I was worried about being typecast. But costume drama is a large part of the work in this country. It`s just a bit sniffy to turn up your nose at it.
Romola Garai
[on if he feels he is typecast as a comic relief sidekick, and if it bothers him] No, I am. It`s a pleasure and a privilege. I really look at it as a career, and not what movies I`m doing this year. I remember not getting offered Dude, Where`s My Car? (20...
Steve Zahn
There were some movies I passed on early on, and some movies I didn`t get, some big studio films. But now I look back and I realize that I really came later in life to a kind of career. I was somewhat typecast as suburban "mom" type roles early on. But I`...
Patricia Clarkson
Clearly romantic comedy is my franchise genre, I don`t mind saying that, it`s true. I love doing them and hopefully always will do them. I don`t feel particularly typecast because I think I do so many different kinds of things. Whether they`re seen or not...
Meg Ryan
I was really thrilled and honored and wanted to do the best job I could. But afterwards, I started getting a lot of bad guy offers and became concerned about being typecast. I did not want to be seen as that kind of guy all the time because a lot of those...
James Remar
It used to make me upset to be typecast that way. But as the years have gone on, I have given in. I am the Professor, and that`s the way it is. The show has brought a lot of joy to people, and that`s not a bad legacy. -- Russell Johnson, referring to his ...
Russell Johnson
I was a little turned off by the idea of doing another bitch. But my agent put it to me quite frankly, that you have to be known before you can be typecast. (On her role as Cordelia)
Charisma Carpenter
On playing Lola in "Come Back Little Sheba": I`m usually typecast as strong, authoritative, so to find that kind of vulnerability is a real challenge. But Lola is not so far from me, either. I was married, and I understand how to be lonely in a marriage. ...
S. Epatha Merkerson
I hope it`s going to be liberating. I`m not putting any negative spin on this because to be typecast as James Bond is a very high-class problem for an actor, and I`m certainly going to try to get as much out of it as I can. Of course I am always going to ...
Daniel Craig
I`d like to play a real cold, mean mass murderer. Some cruel, hard-bitten women, like the roles Glenn Close gets, just to show that I am capable of not being vulnerable and not being fragile on screen. (on being typecast as fragile or neurotic characters)
Dianne Wiest
I`d rather be thought as an international actress rather than a French one. Because I don`t know what`s coming up for me, my ambition is not to be typecast. So I`m working on my English accent, as well as my American one. I don`t want to be like `Okay, I`...
Eva Green
It was exciting, but for a while being typecast as Lois made my vanity and narcissism scream. Hadn`t people seen my other work? But now my grandkids watch it, and think I was Superman`s friend, so that`s a thrill.
Margot Kidder
There`s a lot more that I am capable of doing than I have done. There`s a lot more that I have to offer people. Some people would be surprised. If you really look at my body of work, it`s not nearly as typecast as one might think. I have done a lot of rol...
Matt Dillon
[on being typecast as a villain] I use the analogy that if you hit an old lady on screen with a shovel and kill her and somebody makes money from that moment, then they really don`t want you to step out from that parameter. They don`t want you to do anyth...
Michael Ironside
If you find yourself always playing the villain, or if you find yourself being typecast into a corner where you`re not happy then that`s probably rather miserable, but if I have been typecast I am quite happy about it. I`m trying to work out what I have b...
James Purefoy

James Purefoy
I asked Sean Connery how to avoid being typecast and he said, "First you have to be good enough that they ask you to play it again and again."
Christopher Reeve
My only rule has been to chop and change. I don`t want to be predictable or typecast - but, more importantly, I don`t want to bore myself or become complacent about what I do.
Natascha McElhone
(Discussing whether or not he is typecast by audiences as Jean-Luc Picard): I think perhaps when I first walk in front of the camera they`ll say, "Aha, there, ah, yeah, Jean-Luc, we recognize him despite that charming little mustache." I believe that audi...
Patrick Stewart
It`s weird because I always seem to be dead. I`m gonna have to change that because I wouldn`t want to be typecast. Erica commenting on the fates of the characters she plays.
Erica Leerhsen
I don`t ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie. (Referring to The Girl Next Door (2004)).
Elisha Cuthbert
You are still lucky - you have a certain type of people who keep buying your music - but then you can get typecast and have to keep making that same music, and you can change only slightly. It`s risky to bounce around and change your type of music.
Randy Bachman
Well, we`ve been typecast, there`s no doubt about that. But it`s all right. We`ve all done other things since then and we`ve had good careers.
Russell Johnson
Most people would say no, but the reality is when you get typecast like that there`s got to be some germ of something in there, ... Seinfeld.
Andy Skewis
