Many actors take roles to pay the bills and then find indie projects that let them show range. Brendan Fraser did "George of the Jungle" so he could go and do "Gods and Monsters". Jennifer Aniston does rom coms and then does "Cake" or "The Good Girl". Granted, a lot of actors play the same role over and over again but that is sometimes all they are offered. But check out their IMDB lists and choose some of their other films you may not have heard of.

This should have been titled differently to reflect that they all play the same type of character...not the same character. Playing the same character means that they would have the same character name in every single movie they made, they do not. Dwayne Johnson DID NOT play The Rock in every movie he made...he is The Rock and played many different characters. However those characters were all alike by being strong tough guys.

Mary Pickford - forever lovely young girl with curly hair. Louis de Funès- always funny choleric guys. Michelle Rodriguez - always badass tough lady. Vin Diesel - Badass tough guy. Karl Urban - tough guy. Mark Ruffalo - likeable, slightly awkward guy. Angelina Jolie - either femme fatale or strong woman. Keira Knightley - slightly rebelious, romantic lady from period dramas. Emma watson- smart beautiful lady.

Y'all know that one guy who always plays a side character who is usually a cashier and he always looks and talks like he's really bored? I don't know his name but yeah he basically plays the same person every time

Alan Rickman always plays the Villain or at least looks like the villain (Harry Potter) but he does it well. If you need a aloof guy he put out those vibes.

Harrison Ford? He's always "what if Harrison Ford was the president"? What if HF was a cop in Chicago? What if HF was a CIA agent? What if HF was a doctor framed for murdering his wife? What if HF lived a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away? He always plays the character as if he just got put into that situation. No range. I love him anyway.

At some point it will dawn on people that most actors out there only play one type of character (Diane Keaton - doesn't do action, does do strong female lead and from what I can tell only protagonists). That's what they are known for. Then there's someone like John Travolta (Look Who's Talking and Face Off) who doesn't ever do a lot of roles but they can be ranged. Then you have someone like Mel Gibson - was known for action and some humor, chased one notable romantic comedy and ....well, he also went off the deep end too....

How is not Sylvester stallone on the list? And almost all these tough fighters? Arnold, Chuck Norris, Steven Segal, Jackie Chan

Well, Jackie Chan has a whole slew of movies that even though involve fighting, are more about him singing. He's more of a stuntman with a character type.

Can't believe nobody said Jason Statham. He's either a British tough guy or a British tough guy doing a bad American accent.

because we all know he is always Jason freaking Statham and that's ok. That man is DRIPPING testosterone and I will watch anything he's in.

Johnny Depp. His character is always strange, but it's a different character each time. If I didn't know he was each movie, I wouldn't recognize him.
