10 Stars That Always Make the Same Movies

The voice is quiet, the action loud. He has been wronged, and somebody he loves has just been brutally murdered. He is out for revenge, and he’s bad enough to get that revenge, even as he saves: 1) a damsel in distress, 2) a child in distress, 3) a puppy dog in distress, or 4) your choice, in distress. So, which actor are we talking about? That depends; if the voice has a New York / New Jersey accent, it’ll be Steven Seagal. If the accent is French, it has to be Jean-Claude Van Damme. If it sounds like he has his mouth full of marbles, it can only be Sylvester Stallone.
Seagal,Van Damme and Stallone aren’t the only typecast actors in predictable movies; joining them here are other notables who rarely get to break the mold.

1. Steven Seagal / Jean-Claude Van Damme / Sylvester Stallone – The macho man’s macho men; the movie titles don’t matter much,the stars are pretty much interchangeable. All three are set to star, together, in The Rocky Streetfighter Above the Law IV. It’s possible I’m kidding, but it wouldn’t be by much.
2. Seth Rogan – Usually a semi-loveable slob who often, incongruously, ends up with the hot chick. His vehicles include: Funny People, Pineapple Express, The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up.
3. Jim Carrey – There were no special effects used in The Mask,Carrey’s face really does all that stretching, as in: Ace Ventura, Dumb and Dumber, Pet Detective and Bruce Almighty.
4. Hugh Grant – The somewhat shy and awkward British charmer, who bumbles his way through: Nine Months, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sirens and Love Actually.
5. Samuel Jackson – Samuel Jackson is a baad, baad dude, and his baadness is a predictable thing in: Shaft, Snakes on a Plane,The Negotiator and Pulp Fiction.
6. Angelina Jolie – Hard, sexy and cynical, she provides a female counterpart to the macho men. Her films include: Gone in Sixty Seconds, Tombraider and Wanted.
7. Morgan Freeman – The Voice. His voice glides, calms and soothes, even if he’s telling you he’s about to kill you. God may have given him this voice just so he could play God, in Bruce Almighty. The roles might vary, from God to a sadistic killer, as in Se7en, but whether he’s showing you the pearly gates, or the other gates, he will assuage your nerves.
8. Adam Sandler – Gets the most out of zero social skills and a borderline certifiable insanity, most notably in: Mr. Deeds, Happy Gilmore, The Waterboy and The Wedding Singer.
9. Cameron Diaz – Plays the blind bombshell to a “T”. No, not “blonde bombshell”, but “blind”. How else can you explain a girl who looks like she does, but still ends up with Mike Myers, Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller. She has starred in: There’s Something About Mary, The Mask, Very Bad Things and Shrek I, II and III.
10. Will Ferrell – Over The Top, when used to describe Will Ferrell, may be classic understatement. He reprises himself as a clownish oaf in: Elf, Anchorman, Zoolander, Austin Powers and Blades of Glory.
