This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and it’s not always due to an actor lacking acting skills or acting range. Most of the time, they’re actually quite good at acting—but they acted so well in a particular role that they become typecasted. It’s almost like these actors are so uniquely identifiable as a given persona that they become their own character franchise.
