Actors and actresses that you can't see as anything but..

rman112 · 11-08-2020, 12:26 AM

The other actor thread sparked this idea. An actor or actress that once you've seen them in one role, you can't unsee it even when they're in a new movie.

For example:

Chris Pratt. He's Andy Dwyer to me. No matter what else he's in, I just can't take him seriously.

Chris Evans. Jake from Not Another Teen Movie.

Mark Hamill. Always Luke to me.

Charliez Theron in Monster. Doesn’t matter what movie she’s in and how she looks, I can never unsee her as “Aileen”

Yes and no, young Hamill, yes of course, but anything since he's been older, even in the new star wars movies, it's hard to even see him as Luke as he's changed so much

Matthew Broderick is Ferris Bueller.

I’m disappointed in all answers so far , I think time (especially decades) cures typecast

The 2 that immediately came to mind were Shatner as Captain Kirk and the kid who was Harry Potter...although he's still young and only time will tell if that might change!

shrevecity · 11-08-2020, 07:44 AM

Daniel Radcliffe. Harry Potter
Uma Thurman the Bride.
Johnny Depp Jack Sparrow
Robert Englund Freddy Krueger.
Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith Jay and Silent Bob
Laurence Fishburne Morpheus
Hugo Weaving Agent Smith
Tim Curry Frank N Fruter (some might say pennywise)

JeremyNick · 11-08-2020, 08:13 AM

Rainn Wilson and Chris Pratt.

jubei777 · 11-08-2020, 08:26 AM

Seann William Scott as the Stiffmeister

lietuvalabas · 11-08-2020, 08:37 AM

Ashton Kutcher- a bumbling idiot in every role he plays

packman80 · 11-08-2020, 09:51 AM

He's dead now but Burt Reynolds in Smokey in the Bandit.

Locoduck · 11-08-2020, 10:06 AM

Ed O’neil, all I see is Al Bundy

I used to think the same way with Radcliffe, but he's so good in so many things (especially Miracle Workers and Guns Akimbo)

Not sure if Jason Mewes would qualify as that's literally all he ever plays

For me its anyone in the MCU, once they put on the "cape" they'll always be that superhero to me

oldgoldy97 · 11-08-2020, 10:47 AM

Kenny Baker.

bblair_2002 · 11-08-2020, 11:51 AM

John Cena if I could see him at all.

He's dead??

Edit: apparently he is. That's a shame.

Rainn Wilson is a phenomenal answer

Most of the rest of these? Meh

AlwaysRighty · 11-08-2020, 02:34 PM

Rainn Wilson, I only see Dwight Schrute.
