15 Actors Who Seem To Get By Playing the Same Character Over and Over Again

You know how most actors seem to be playing the same guy over and over again?  Well, there's a reson for that.  Hollywood likes their character actors a lot.  It allows them to cast most films rather easily.  There are plenty of actors with range.  But let's not fault all these guys for playing the same character.  Some of us would rather these guys DIDN'T play different people.  There are some actors who have amazing range.  On the other hand, there are some who don't.  But we seem to like seeing them play the same guy.  These are referred to in film as "Character Actors."  Because they're meant to play the same character.  Some people hate that.  If you do... you might as well stop watching movies.  Nearly every movie ever made has a Character Actor of some sort... even if he isn't the main star.  But here we ARE going to focus on the main stars. 

On the other hand, let me also explain how this works.  With each actor there is a "Who is he/she" thing going on.  It's not meant to actually tell you who they are... but rather the type of character they play over and over again.  Sometimes it's a brief description but other times (as in Will Smith's case) it's a title name or something like that.

There are, of course, many more actors who do this sort of stuff.  But why make a list full of nothing but say... action heroes?  Or Comedians?  Or hot actresses who only get casted to look beautiful?  Instead we're just going to pull out a couple of names.  Fifteen to be exact and start going.  As usual, much of this is actually done in good humor. 

Have fun!
