Adewale Akinnouye-Agbaje (Eko from LOST). Big, hulking, black, don't-fuck-with-me guy with a capacity for violence.

I really want to say Keanu Reeves but hes not exactly typecast more than he plays the exact same character every time. Every time I see him I see Ted. ..."I know kung-fu" In that airhead type of voice.

Noel Gugliemi- token Mexican thug/gangster. I can't even tell you how many times he's played this role.

How about the quirky, semi-attractive, highly intelligent person that most people in the boring "normal" world don't seem to quite get. Insert any actor/actress that frequents independent movies...Thora Birch, Christina Ricci, Bill Murray (of late).

Ha, straight from the 24 thread in TV. Seriously, that's all she get's to play.

It's even worse with her. Not only is she getting typecast in the same role, but she's also doing it in crappy, unnecessary sequels like Legally Blonde 2 and Miss Congeniality 2.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Christopher Walken yet.

Chuck Norris as an ass-kicking righteous man.

Larry the Cable Guy as a redneck.
