Typecasting is an interesting thing because, in a way, if you're good at something, you're going to work at that thing. In other ways, you constantly have to change people's opinion of you as one thing, especially if you want to play different roles. You have to shatter that image sometimes.
Aaron Tveit
If I look at Dad's earlier work - 'Bandini,' 'Satyakam,' 'Chupke Chupke,' 'Jeevan Mrityu' - and then his later work, I realize that when something works, the industry doesn't want you to do anything else. They just typecast and milk you.
Abhay Deol

Abhimanyu Singh
Typecasting is really rampant in Hollywood, and because I played a costumed character and did it successfully, it was a real stigma.

Certainly, I look for different characters 'cause I always like to keep people guessing, and I also don't like to get typecast.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

Aimee Osbourne
Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don't think so.

Normally movies have the same people they use over and over for everything. It's called typecasting. They don't like to take chances. They'll go with the guy they had before.
Albert Brooks
I haven't worked enough to worry about getting typecast, but I do as a film lover didn't want to be working with the bad guys. I didn't want to be making a movie I thought was contributing to a lower base of movies that I just didn't think were helping people, really.
Alden Ehrenreich
I feel that a lot of roles in television can really typecast someone as one type of actor or playing one type of role, but I really don't think that my role in 'Weeds' did at all.
Alexander Gould
I hate being typecast and I don't want to do things that are boring for me because it would be boring for the viewers as well.

Directors typecasting actors is passe.

Ankita Lokhande
People tend to typecast you in a certain way, depending on the kind of work you have been doing till then.
Arbaaz Khan
In terms of being typecast, if you do something like Father Ted that infiltrates the public's imagination to the extent that it did, I think realistically you're not going to be asked to do something radically different from that very often. But it's not a problem.
Ardal O'Hanlon
I am tired of getting typecast.
Ashish Vidyarthi

I'm 5-feet-9, I have a deep voice, and I have a way with a line. What can I do about it? I can't stay home waiting for something different. I think it's a total waste of energy worrying about typecasting.
That was my one big Hollywood hit, but, in a way, it hurt my picture career. After that, I was typecast as a lion, and there just weren't many parts for lions.
After The Wizard Of Oz I was typecast as a lion, and there aren't all that many parts for lions.
Getting typecast depends on the roles we choose, doesn't it? When the same kind of characters are offered to you, you have the option of not doing them.
Turns out typecasting is a real thing.

I don't want to be typecast.
Most actors here go to the West Coast; I ended up going to Ireland. My buddies who left drama school, they had this arrogance - 'We don't want to typecast ourselves.' But I said, 'I want to do Irish parts. That's the thing that's gonna give me the leg up.'
I don't think I'd ever get typecast as a soldier.
I get typecast as doctors, principals, middle-management-type guys - which, when you look at me, you realize is completely against my physical characteristics. I should be an action hero. So I don't understand what's going on.
It's up to the actor to make sure they don't get typecast.
I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.
'Night of the Comet' established me as a strong woman. And let's face it, this business is very surface and one dimensional - so it's easy to get typecast.
I was afraid I'd be typecast forever as a mediocre actress.
When I was first starting out, and I was less established, I was really concerned about being typecast.
I think sometimes actors who have predominately done comedy get a little typecast by some people.
As long as I keep getting cast, I don't care if it's typecast.
It's about pursuing it rather than waiting to see what comes along. That's partly because I found myself getting typecast, as everyone does unless they pursue roles that are very different from what they've done before.

I've never worried about being typecast - I've only ever worried about being not cast!
