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.'

Brian F. O'Byrne

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

As for Bollywood, actors are no longer typecast there and I'm happy to be in that phase where the industry is evolving for the better.

Abhimanyu Singh

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

Adam West

I was victimized by the old Hollywood typecasting thing. I had to really fight to get out of it, so I was uncomfortable with it.

Adam West

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

It's kind of like OK, I want to be a singer. And I felt if I would have stayed with the 'Osbournes' and done the whole Osbourne thing... I would have been typecasted right away before I had a chance to experience other things.

Aimee Osbourne

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

Aisha Tyler

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.

Amala Paul

There was a time when the industry would typecast actors. It still continues to an extent on the celluloid but with the digital medium coming to the fore, the actors are finding equal status with the stars.

Amrita Rao

Directors typecasting actors is passe.

Amrita Rao

I am conscious about not getting typecast, but obviously I have to keep picking up great roles so that I don't get typecast.

Amy Jackson

It's really hard to not get put in a box when you're acting and get typecast.

Andrew-Lee Potts

People don't stereotype an actor anymore because they want to see them doing more content driven roles. I can do any role. I'm not worried about getting typecast because I'm doing a period film.

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.
