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.

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?

Quantum Leap.....that is all.....

I have a hard time seeing Michael Biehn as anyone but CPL Dwayne Hicks.

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)

When he joined the Air Force, of course.

Ed O'Neill is forever Al Bundy, no matter what he does.

Christina Ricci - Wednesday grew up. Well, more "out" that "up", really.

Beleive it or not, summer glau can play a stright A, nice girl type college student.

She's a bit character in an episode of CSI. It weirded me out, since at the time, she WAS River to me.

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

He's half the reason I watch Chuck.

seeker_two · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2011, 09:32:48 PM »

I still think of Adam Baldwin as the Area 51 guy in INDEPENDENCE DAY....

President: Are these windows bulletproof?

Baldwin: No, sir!.... *gratuitous alien-killin' gunfire*

This is, of course, the other half:

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

Derek Jacobi. I will forever see him as Brother Cadfael

William Woodward. aka Technomage Gaelen

Walter Koenig. Not as Pavel Checkov, but as that creepy little Psi cop Alfred Bester

Tom Baker. I saw part of Nicholas and Alexandria a few months back, and I half expected Rasputin to offer the Czar a Jelly Baby.

Wayne Pygram. Even as Grand Moff Tarkin

he's still Scorpious/Harvey of Farscape.

And of course Sir Alec Guiness. First time I saw Star Wars back in the day, when he came on screen I thought, "Oh ****, ITS HITLER!"

Am I the only one that remembers Dean Stockwell from The Thin Man movies with William Powell and Myrna Loy?
I also remember him from Dune.

Kids today.

Of course, standing right next to Dean Stockwell.

Russell Crowe will always be "SID 6.7" from Virtuosity wearing a purple suit.

(I can't find a good pic to attach, maybe I need to get a screenshot myself)

One episode of Californication would fix that

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

Devonai · « **Reply #20 on:** April 25, 2011, 04:04:46 PM »

Speaking of such things, after watching Fringe I've become convinced that Seth Gabel should play any role in a "reboot" that follows up something that Biehn has done.

dogmush · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2011, 04:05:34 PM »

Val Kilmer's Doc Holiday was awesome. I don't give a hoot if it was historically accurate or not, it was great to watch.

You must remember Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, right? Or is he Sir Guy of Gisborne to you?

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
