What are some actors that you think seem to play the same type of roles in many of their movies?

I can think of some off the top of my head:

Eric Bana. He seems to play military guys all the time, from Blackhawk Down to the upcoming The Finest Hours.

Robert DeNiro. Cop, cop, and more cop.

Al Pacino. See above.

Well, they often portray angry Italian guys, but I don't think that "Cop, cop, and more cop." accurately describes roles like Al Capone, Max Cady, Jake LaMotta, Vito Corleone, Tony Montana, Michael Corleone, and Sonny Wortzik (bank robber in "Dog Day Afternoon").


Dennis Franz's roles might be described as "Cop, cop, and more cop."

I'm sure this isn't exactly what the OP is getting at, but Richard Belzer has played the character John Munch in nine different television series. That's got to be a record.

I think it set a record for the same character appearing in the most shows when it hit six.

Eric Roberts always plays a disgusting sleazeball (and fits the bill).

Pierce Brosnan has played the role of an assassin a lot. Funny thing is....he isn't that good at it. He was pretty good at playing James Bond.....a suave and sophisticated ladies man assassin. But a run of mill assassin? No. Why he do that?
