7 actors who always play the same character
Hollywood stars often get their fame from a single role that catapults them to stardom. Thereafter, some manage to play new characters and roles that challenge their acting skills, while the public remembers others for specific roles that seem to follow them throughout their careers. If they ventured beyond their recurring roles, it would be strange to see them play someone else.
We want to take you through a list of 7 actors and actresses who always seem to play the same role. We're not saying they never did anything else. It's just that their roles seem similar.

1. John Wayne.
His name is synonymous with the "Wild West" and for good reason. The prolific career of this American actor included many cowboy characters. This was largely due to his early role in the 1939 film Stagecoach.
2. Keira Knightley.
If time travel becomes possible, we're sure Kira will be the first to try it. From Pirates of the Caribbean to Anna Karenina and Atonement, the British actress has established herself as the go-to for any period role.
3. Noel Gugliemi.
You probably don't know him by name, but you've certainly seen his face. Gugliemi earned his image by playing a gangster in films such as The Fast and the Furious, Training Day.
4. Seth Rogen.
Seth Rogen not only acts but also produces and writes many of the films he starred in. In the vast majority of the films he appears in, he seems to play the role of a character who is constantly under the influence of drugs, but he is too cute to hate. For example: "Pineapple Express: Sitting, smoking."
5. Liam Neeson.
The Irish actor is a very special case. It seems like half the time he plays pretty specific dramatic roles, like his performance in Schindler's List. The other half of his time is spent surviving or chasing all the bad guys who are trying to kidnap his daughter or his wife.
6. Jackie Chan.
No matter what genre of film, his character will always put on a martial arts show at some point, whether as a babysitter (The Spy Next Door), a butler (Around the World in 80 Days), or as a cop (Rush Hour).
