Why is typecast considered bad?
It's a guaranteed check and for some people they are remembered for generations because of a single role
Majority of actors would kill to be typecast

Probably because it gets boring after a while, and it's pretty bad if you can just age out of the typecasting.
Isn’t that what Bojack Horseman is about?
tight shirts and no bra's...70s and early 80s tv was so good
And tight pants
John Ritter seemed to have had a hog
Think about the mentality of the kind of person that becomes an actor. If they wanted a safe paycheck they wouldn't be actors to begin with. The idea of doing the same thing day in, day out, over and over isn't what they want. They want different roles every day.
Because it can lock you into a box. I guess some actors are alright with that but I'd imagine plenty want to challenge themselves from time to time.
>I'd imagine plenty want to challenge themselves from time to time
And those are all the worst actors who can't act anyway. Typecast chads win again, they know their game and play it.
Was this a typecast role? Isn't that Hooperman?
>remembered for generations because of a single role
This can kill your career and you see it happen a lot in TV. Most Star Trek actors never got anywhere after Star Trek because of it. Only if you can get typecast as a boring everyman with a slight superiority complex like Denzel do you have it made.
>This can kill your career and you see it happen a lot in TV.
That's literally because they don't want to get roles based on their previous roles, so they just don't take any. It's 100% their own fault.
No it isn't. There is no universe where someone would so dislike being associated with a role that they would turn down work and have to sell headshots at conventions for fans of the role you hate.
Galaxy quest wasn't real anon
Yes instead you have Ensign Kim and Tom Paris doing a Voyager podcast because their careers are so solid.
Just looked them up Tom Paris is working steadily which is better than most
>There is no universe where someone would so dislike being associated with a role that they would turn down work and have to sell headshots at conventions for fans of the role you hate.
Boy you haven't been around long, huh?
ive always felt that typecast is just code for 'nobody wants to frick you' or 'you arent willing to frick' so you dont get work anymore from corrupt producers and directors.
>guaranteed check
but you'll always be wondering if your typecast is what's holding back your career. The decades are littered with actors who got typecast early and never really went anywhere after a few similar roles. Looking back they'd probably wished they turned down those roles.
His 80s movies weren't that successful. One with Blake Edwards?
Anything with John "Jack Tripper" Ritter is great
Hollywood tries to discourage character acting because then people demand the popular character show up in everything and the productions become overshadowed by the celebrity of it all.
i was so happy when I learned he was back on tv, I thought tv is saved..and then he died right away
I cried too anon
>typecast
>It's a guaranteed check
No, it's not. Please go back to plebbit, we have an age limit to post here.

NPC tier lol you're a poser gay
>you will never frick barely legal regal beagle pussy while living with two babes
Do you guys think Jack was fricking Chrissy and Janet? I do. I doubt they could resist him.
Like in real life? Probably Janet (Joyce) they seemed very close not so much with Chrissy (Susanne)
Maybe Cindy too
Because it's not fun to play the same character all the time. I'm happy to receive the check, don't get me wrong, but I'd just like to not get cast as "angry shouty monster man" every single time I land a voiceover audition. Guess I gotta work on my acting lol.
It is if its a fun character.
>It is if its a fun character.
True, but often they are not. Unfortunately most of the gigs I get sound like they were written by an AI.
So basically you are complaining that you look like an angry tard, so you can only get cast as angry tards instead of coming off as some kind of fun loving scoundrel?
>So basically you are complaining that you look like an angry tard
Voice actor. I'm complaining that I sound like an angry tard. I'm really good at comedy characters though and I wish I got more opportunities to do that. I've gotten a few, but it's rare for me.
Actors actually take themselves seriously. It's hilarious. They have zero self-awareness.
