As far as the lack of hits goes, I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men, and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.

Jeff Bridges

I try and avoid thinking of strategy and I tend to stick to my gun of doing things that I like and try to avoid things that I "should" be doing, and stay true to that.

Rebecca Hall

On television, there isn't much scope to do different roles. I try to bring some new shades to my roles, and I try to play them differently. I think I have been able to manage that pretty well.

Mouni Roy

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

I'm someone who is quite uncomfortable if something is different. I like doing things I'm used to in everyday life. So, I always try to push myself outside of that when looking for roles, otherwise I would never do anything different.

Yasmin Paige

I try to do different roles and try to immerse myself deeply and see what they need to be that's different than the last one.

Kelli O'Hara

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

Blythe Danner

Typecasting is a thing, but when it involves race, it narrows the roles available to an almost comically small amount.

Nicole Byer

I don't mind doing glamorous roles, comic roles, weekly shows, or something different from what I've done earlier.

Hina Khan

I would love to experiment with roles. But when people say that we are not doing anything different, it is because directors do not approach us with diverse roles.

Rakul Preet Singh

I want as much as I can to try and explore different roles and different characters; that's important to me to get involved in as many different parts as I can.

George MacKay

I want to do different kinds of roles and work on good scripts because doing the same kind of roles is boring - both for me and the audience.

Catherine Tresa

I want to do roles that are fun and challenging and I want to try different things. I don't want to keep doing Monster's Ball over and over and over again. I want to keep doing my career the way that I was doing it before I won the Oscar.

Halle Berry

I love doing roles and movies that are different from each other. That's kind of why I like to be an actor because I get to play different characters and pretend I'm different people going through different situations.

Josh Hutcherson

I learned to act reactively very well because those were the sorts of roles I was given for 20 years. It was hard to break out of that typecasting.

Yvette Mimieux

I do not like to label the characters I am doing or even myself as a particular type of actor. I try to do different kind of roles which are not the same 'hero' or 'villain' kind.
