I always felt that, as an actor, I should play a variety of roles rather than just sticking to one kind & getting typecast.

Roop Durgapal

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

I was not only typecast as a Russian, but I was typecast as Yakov Smirnoff. This is understandable, and I was very happy to get the roles, but it would be nice to be in a movie where I could be someone else.

Yakov Smirnoff

People like you in negative roles, they want to see you only in negative roles and thus you get typecast. At the end of the day, what matters is whether the audience loves you or not.

Sudha Chandran

A lot of people get stereotyped into roles just from how they look, and I have played such a variety of characters.

Haley Lu Richardson

Honestly, I'm willing to experiment with far more variety in roles than I'm given. But ultimately, it's the producer's decision. But, I've done a variety of roles - the evil don, the evil husband... I've done villainous roles, supporting roles, etc.

Kabir Bedi

I think I've proven with my career that I can play a wide variety of characters. Yet, I still get typecast as the crazy slob guy. That's how it always works.

Judah Friedlander

I have so far played a variety of roles and enjoyed all of them. But I am biased towards positive roles because I love staying peaceful and bringing smiles on people's faces.

Roop Durgapal

I've been really lucky to have had a variety of roles, and I don't think I'm in danger of being typecast as the romantic lead. I think there's honour in working as constantly as you can. That isn't easy. And I'm no matinee idol.

Tobias Menzies

Will Smith is my favorite actor, because he has so much variety in his career. He's done all types of roles, played in all types of worlds, and to me, that's the fun of acting. That's why I started doing it when I was eight years old, because you get to be whatever you want.

KiKi Layne

I played a wide variety of roles.

Martin Landau

Yes, it is funny that most of the roles that I have played so far have been negative. I have been typecast as a villain.

Vishwajeet Pradhan

I don't want to be typecast as a heroine doing just glamorous roles.

Meghana Raj

Show business always tries to stereotype you, so that is something you have to fight against no matter who you are. A lot of actors who are of a minority background complain that they only get stereotyped roles, and they are 100 percent correct. However, it's also true that, no matter who you are, you get typecast as well.

Judah Friedlander

I always keep myself open to different roles because I believe by taking up a variety of roles, one's true potential is unearthed.
