Quote HistorySomewhere there is a predator with his characters skull on a stake, so they must not have considered him such a bad ass in the end. At least the Japanese gangster guy who was with him died going one on one with a predator face to face with a sword. |

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. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, there are a few one-hit wonders being posted... 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.

Sir Christopher Lee.
Served in WW2 in the SOE then had a 60 year career playing movie villains. Filming the Lord of the Rings Peter Jackson was blocking a scene in which Wormtongue (Brad Dourif) stabs Saruman (Lee) in the back. Jackson goes into a long explanation about how he wants Lee to react and Lee says, "Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back? Because I do.”     |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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.  Attached File |

He does a radio advert on online pharmaceutical drugs and how they are not all real. It doesn't mean, though, that I am wrong regarding typecasting, does it?

Jack Palance
 Attached FileHe's also played Dracula, as well as Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. He was even in Batman!  Attached FileTurns 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. |
