Title: Dean Stockwell
Post by: AZRedhawk44 on April 24, 2011, 04:38:56 PM: He's forever typecast to me, now... as Cavil/Number-1 from BSG.

Watching "The Langoliers" via Netflix right now. He's in it, in a very 80's suit jacket. Looks about the same age. =D His voice and mannerisms are so distinctive, and he's the guy who gets to theorize about how to get back to their own time. I can't get Cavil out of my head.

What minor actors are forever typecast to you, and for what roles?

Also, Timothy Oliphant needs to break out from his "lawman" typecast, although that does not include his turn in the movie Hitman.

He's always that guy in the first Terminator.

Same here. Even during BSG, he was the guy from QL (can't seem to remember character names at all today).

Or his role as a pornographer in The Girl Next Door.

Cavil who?

Also Timothy Oliphant wasn't a cop in Die Hard 4 (although it's possible we're all trying to forget that one). He's also not really a cop in The Perfect Getaway. I'm all right with his typecast as long as Raylan keeps shooting folks that need it. (Dewey is sooooo a dead man)

Others:
All the various Stargate's still make me wonder when MacGyver started using guns.

Mr. T is always B.A. Baracus

He hasn't done much that I watched since but I doubt I could ever see David Duchovny as not Mulder.

Summer Glau is type cast as a strange badass. (That one might not be much acting)

Before he was Jayne, he was Animal Mother, and anytime I saw Adam Baldwin I would have to watch Full Metel Jacket.

Also entertaining as Johnny Ringo in Tombstone. (a silly movie, but it had some memorable lines).

Baldwin is awesome but he doesn't send me to my bunk.

It's strange, I try so hard to get exited about Yvonne Strahovsk, but the level of near theoretical perfection just kills it for me. =| Allison Hannigan, despite aging frighteningly quickly, is an absolute sock in the gut, perhaps because she's more real.

The guy who played "Anders" in the BSG reboot is getting lots of walk-on parts in various shows lately, and I only see him as one of the "final five".

The girl's 37. She didn't age, she took of the makeup Joss had her in in Buffy. She's one of the best reasons to watch How I Met Your Mother

Yes, I'm the exact same age. So I assume it's mainly just psychological projection. Although at some angles I do see a bit of a set in her face and eyes, where it's rather easy to project what she'll look like at 80.

And aside from the reasonably well written gags, she is the ONLY reason to watch How I Met Your Mother. Especially when they make a point to emphasize her character's nature as a clothes horse, who likes miniskirts and tall boots.. :O
