back in the day?

I ask because my uncle 100% believes what ever persona a person has as a character in a movie or show is how they are in real life. Mostly curious if that was the case in earlier movies and shows.

Played the Drill Instructor in FMJ, and then played it in everything since. He was also a drill instructor in the armed forces.

One actor in one movie does not mean all actors are type casted. You realize that right?

And I asked generally, as in all. Should I assume you are a drunk that can't hold a job since you are also a PoTder like Zang? I mean he is one example. Does that hold true for you too?

Aren't you also posting here so that would apply to you as well? If you're interested in looking up character actors look it up don't have a melty over someone giving you an example.

So you wanted to know something you could have easily googled in the hour it took you to get a response here. Then got upset when it wasn't the answer you wanted

well she is dead so good luck with that. Also its cool that you are the text whisperer and know my current emotions, which is a good mood as I am eating my favorite ice cream and watching reruns of Frasier on my other monitor. And for dialog, one example doesn't make a rule.

Please show me where they said that? They gave an example if you really wanted to know you could've waited instead of having a melty or looked it up yourself. All your topics are the same you ask a question then get pissy

Type-casting always happened with some roles, but it wasn't any more universal back then than now. And, honestly, the kind of type-casting was the same kind as now where somebody was known as being a cowboy, action hero, spy, etc, rather than just one name -- with the exception of certain high-profile characters where they played the same role repeatedly.

Uh, guessing this wasn't that far back in the day...

And there have been some actors who basically played an exaggerated version of themselves.

Not that often. And even when they play an "opposite," usually it has the same mannerisms. ie, heroic JCVD and villain JCVD were pretty similar. Similar for heroic and villainous Jason Statham. Successful actors tend to lean into character tropes. Matt LeBlanc, for instance, made a career out of playing basically the same character in different roles -- even when he was playing himself in the show Episodes.

Keep in mind most actors aren't super-talented.

Some were and even today some still are. If you ever watch an old Humphrey Bogart film, in most of his films he always played a tough guy who could swoon the ladies and if you ever see any old Marilyn Monroe films, she's always the ditsy blonde who men fall over.

That sounds like typical Disney if you ask me.

With all the Woke people and trends going on, I have no idea why Disney is still as big as they are.
