At least the Japanese gangster guy who was with him died going one on one with a predator face to face with a sword. |

I wonder how many people in this thread, actually know what 'typecast' means?

Textbook definition of "typecast as a Hollywood villain". I'm trying to think if I can recollection a SINGLE role where he WASN'T a henchman (who usually dies). Can't think of one yet. I don't recall him ever having any big speaking roles either, despite seeing him in loads of 80s movies. |

He loves playing bad guys and knows he makes a great villain, but his wife HATES it when he does. He will always be Ding Chavez to her |

Quoted: Yeah, there are a few one-hit wonders being posted... View Quote Being a one hit wonder does not mean someone is not typecast. A number of actors after their first successful role have a hard time finding another role or getting a different kind of role because they are, in fact, typecast. |

It's always fun seeing the lengths someone will go to in order to break out of being typecast. Daniel Radcliffe is my favorite example so far. Going from Harry Potter to Guns Akimbo is a pretty big leap. |

I don’t see how the dudes who played king Joffrey and Ramsay Bolton can recover from those roles. Pretty sure jack Gleason quit acting

Steve Cochran, who was Big Ed in White Heat, among other noir films.
He was almost always a bad guy, but he did play some regular characters. In Highway 301, he does a good job of playing a psychopath. |

Quoted: I am working on it. Last year I got a role on a major hit TV show. I was so happy, even if it was just 1 episode. Then I found out I would get killed. They actually use the term "Red Shirt". Like the joke from Star Trek. You would have the stars, and the one new guy in the red uniform. You knew he was going to die. So the term "Red Shirt" is an industry term for such roles. I died magnificently, so that the star could live! That's were I am at. I get lead and starring roles in B movies and show up in bigger stuff. But I guess people just like watching me die.

Jack Elam was in quite a few westerns where he was not the bad guy so I'm gonna say no on the typecast concept.

Another old school one, at least in English language productions.

Jack Palance
Attached File He's also played Dracula, as well as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. He was even in Batman! Attached File Turns out he was actually a professional boxer until WWII, where he was a bomber pilot. I had no idea until I started looking for pictures of him and read his biography. I like this quote from IMDB: Jack Palance quite often exemplified evil incarnate on film, portraying some of the most intensely feral villains witnessed in 1950s westerns and melodrama. |
