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.

The guy I played in 'The Xpose' is more like a spoiled brat who likes to have his way than a villain. No more negative roles after 'The Xpose' for me. I've enough problems dealing with the negative image I've been saddled with in some sections.

Yo Yo Honey Singh

I am a product of the Film and Television Institute of India, so I never categorised my roles, but yes I was typecast by the producers and the directors as a villain.

Raza Murad

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

I have played lead roles, supporting roles and also miniscule roles in my career so far, and have never been image conscious.

Sangeetha Krish

The majority of the roles I've played are women who have been either impoverished or subjugated in some way. So while I've been fortunate enough to have success because these roles exist, they are stereotypical roles.

LaChanze

Throughout my career I've played a lot of parts that might've been played by a man. They're human roles rather than specifically men or women. I've never been as hooked into that as a lot of women are, you know, like, 'There aren't enough roles for women.' There aren't necessarily a lot of good roles for anybody.

Edie Falco

If you find yourself always playing the villain, or if you find yourself being typecast into a corner where you're not happy then that's probably rather miserable, but if I have been typecast I am quite happy about it.

James Purefoy

Yes, I have done many roles with negative shades, such as 'Awara Paagal Deewana' and 'Champion.' But in 'Ashoka,' I played a positive character.

Rahul Dev

I think most actors would say some of the most fun roles are when you're evil, and that's been really exciting to be the bad guy in a lot of scenarios. Because when you're 12, you don't get to play the villain too often.

Haley Joel Osment

Frankly speaking, I don't want to be typecast as someone who only does negative roles.

Rahul Dev

It's so funny because the roles that I've been offered in the indie film world have been similar to each other, and the roles that I've been offered in the TV world have been similar to each other, but the TV roles and the indie film roles have been completely different.

Courtney Ford

I've always played variety of roles and don't want to get typecast.

Jackie Shroff

It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds.

Randy Harrison

I was played the villain so much because I was bigger and stronger than most, and they cast me as the villain everywhere I went.

Wilt Chamberlain

To be completely honest, it's shocking to me that I keep getting the villain roles! I do not see myself as the villain and I know, growing up, I was the opposite of a villain. I would never try to be a villain to anyone - but maybe other people I grew up with feel differently about that.
