Being typecast isn't always a bad thing for an actor. It guarantees a steady stream of roles. Take Christopher Charles Mintz-Plasse, better known as Superbad's McLovin, who has played a similar character in many movies since.

Yet sometimes, it can lead to wasted potential that isn't realised until late in the artist's career. Consider Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems, John C. Reilly in We Need to Talk About Kevin, Hugh Grant in The Gentleman, or 'the McConnaisance' - the term given to Matthew McConaughey's abrupt shift from romcom eye candy to dark and complex lead actor.

So tell us about a typecast actor that you'd love to see in another type of role, and include a justification for why you want to see it.

N.B. Here and everywhere on the platform, when we use the term 'actor', we are referring to male and female actors.
