Thanks

I guarantee you someone has topped the top ones in three/four years

Darth Thor
RDJ matches Hugh once Infinity War is released. And will actually surpass him by Avengers 4.

I was going to answer, but I misunderstood. I thought this was asking about actors that tend to portray more or less the same character in every role they take.

All of Morgan freemans characters seem all the same for every movie

(Great actor though)

Christopher Lee played Dracula probably close to a dozen times, I can't think of anyone off hand who tops him.

Mark Hamill as The Joker must be up there.

quanchi112

John Murdoch
Desmond Llewelyn as Q

Yeah, Morgan tends to be the wise magical negro of the movies. Nic Cage seems another one where it is like he is playing the same character. I think that is mostly just due to not being a skilled actor. Whereas Morgan Freeman clearly is capable of stepping outside the "wise magical negro" trope.

Has Schwarzenegger ever played a character that is NOT special forces military or ex military type, a cop or ex cop, etc ? Besides the Terminator series were he was a robot

In his comedies, sure, though not often. Like Twins for example.

My answer to the thread is Dwayne Johnson playing the "I'm an awkward geek in a jock's body" role enough that it's starting to feel like that's his niche.

I mean, I get that he wants to play against type, but he's pushing it a little.

Sean Connery played Bond, 7 times.. Moore serves as Bond for 12 years

Aftermath...He plays a construction worker whose family are killed in an air crash caused by a negligent air traffic controller.

It was actually pretty good.

It was actually pretty good.

In Collateral Damage he plays a fire man whose family was killed by terrorists.

Playing a robot is 100% the perfect role for Arnold. This is equivalent to Charlie Sheen being hired to play a character that loves hookers and cocaine.

I would have to say Will Ferrel, Nicholas Cages roles are all similar. Vinnie Jones plays the same character every time as well as Danny Dyer.
