disagree. I thought he did very well playing his role in Brothers.

Humphrey Bogart - cynical, worldly-wise tough guy, does The Right Thing in spite of himself.
Not true, he actually got his career going playing bad guys.
Seth Rogan. Every line he delivers sounds exactly the same and he always has the same reacion and expression.
Haha you are so right on!! He was a cop in either Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters 2. He was also a cop in Die Hard and whatever that show was with Urkel. I also believe he was a cop in some other movie too.
I luvs Chicken Hawk Coward actors like Bruce Willis, John Wayne, Arnold Schwartzenegger. Any one else ?
Need a white, "masonic" or "establishment" type?
Kurtwood Smith & James Cromwell
Joan Cusack generally plays that off-kilter girl
I like Ben Stiller when's he's playing idiots and I'll even concede that he doesn't play the same character all the time. He does play the same three, or maybe even four, characters in all his movies though and they usually have the common theme of the character doing something socially awkward. . . zipping the frank and beans up, milking cats, getting tased, flooding his girlfriend's bathroom, etc.

A guy who went from first to last in a heartbeat......Deniro. From Bang the Drum slowly, Taxi Driver, Mean Streets, Godfather, the Jake Lamatta role, Goodfellas, to fockers, Meet teh Fockers, the Fockers XXV, Analyze this, Analyze that, etc.As far as Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Steve Carell...they don't even qualify as actors.
Paul Newman pretty much played the wise-cracking, irreverent outsider in most of his movies. In the 1970s he optioned the right to play a gay running coach based on the book "Front Runner." But it was never made, either he or "his people" decided the world was not ready for a gay Paul Newman, and he continued playing basically the same roles the rest of his life.
No he did not. You think the guy in 'The Verdict" was like "Hud?" Think again.
Woody Allen always plays Woody Allen
"wisecraking, irreverant outsider", does not describe his roles in both those films? Alway "fighting the system." Same in "The Hustler," "Cool Hand Luke," "Butch Cassidy," "The Sting," "Absence of Malice," etc. Not saying he was not good in those rolls, "Cool Hand Luke" is one of my all time favorites. It's just the same guy.

Allen actually claims in interviews that he is not playing himself, he claims he has a limited acting range and so plays the same character in all his films, but he says it is not himself. But then he also says its ok to go after your pre-pubescent step-daughter.
Jeff Goldbloom
Ice Cube - The black Jack Nicholson. Same character in every movie. Even the kiddie movies
this thread is 4 pages long and no one has mention SAMUEL L JACKSON? Every movie he is in, he just plays the guy who basically screams all his lines.
Ron Jeremy ====> The best.

Tommy Lee Jones - End of thread - he has been playing the same part for decades.
What part would that be?
