Typecasting (acting)
Typecasting is the process by which an actor is strongly identified with a role or genre. There have been instances in which an actor has been so strongly identified with a role as to make it impossible for him or her to find work portraying other characters. Often a typecast actor may attempt to escape this fate by choosing a role particularly distinct from the ones they had been typecast as. Typecasting often occurs to actors with leading roles in long-running TV series.
