    Good one here.

    Another is Robert Redford, who is an excellent actor, but I can only picture him as Roy Hobbs.

                LOL, what about the Sundance Kid, Johnny Hooker (The Sting), Bob Woodward (All The President's Men), Jerimiah Johnson? I will say most of his more memorable roles were in the 70's.

                  Even though I like The Office, Steve Carrell will always be that naive 40 year old virgin.

                    I'd agree w/ that except for Ice Cube just because on Friday I always thought of him as Ice Cube as opposed to Craig.

                    I don't know about Rawls, but Daniels is playing basically the same character in both shows, of course there's no conflict.

                    And it's not necessarily that it ruins whatever other role they play like TK said in the first half of his post, but more what TK said in the second half of his post about no matter what they do, you'll always see them as that character you know them best as. To me, Daniels is Daniels, even on Fringe, he just moved from Baltimore to Boston.

                      [QUOTE=ZB9;2039293228]Robert Duvall in "Lonesome Dove", even though he has had some other iconic roles obviously

                      Your right about that one him and Tommy Lee Jones both.

                      Although I loved the job that Brandon Routh did in Superman Returns. I dont think I could see another actor today in that role, Christopher Reeve is Superman he was the person that made me such a fan of Superman.

                          Good one. Every movie/show he shows up in I'm like "hey, it's Al Bundy."

                            I think it isn't a fair comparison to take succesful tv actors to their movies, you'll almost always compare them to their tv show. Will Smith is one I can think off the top of my head that isn't type casted.

                            -Toby McGuire will always be Spiderman whenver I see him.

                            -I love Hugh Jackman in the Prestige and other movies but no matter what I always picture him about to claw someone.

                            -Vin Diesel - Everytime I see him I quote Dom from fast and the furious.

                            -Tim Robbins - Will always be Andy

                            -Adam Sandler - Happy Gilmore

                            -Ray Liotta and Joe Pesci - Henry and Tommy

                            -John Cho and Kal Penn - Harold and Kumar

                              None of these have made that kind of impression on me. Adam Sandler-Happy Gilmore? Face it, 90% of the time Adam Sandler plays Adam Sandler.

                              I agree and I watched the show only a handful of times.

                              I can't understand that seeing how Office preceded 40 Year Old Virgin. That being said I had no typecast problem with Carrell as the 40 YOV.

                              Maybe Winkler, and I couldn't give any opinion on Martin, but disagree on everyone else. Before Ferris Bueller Broderick had great exposure in War Games, playing an entirely different character. In all due respect, it seems like this board is very Typecast Sensitive. For example, what were you seeing when Tim Robbins played the troubled soul in Mystic River-Andy in Shawshank?

                                Anybody who sees Shawshank Andy during Tim Robbins' cameo in High Fidelity is crazy.
