Seriously, how can you even compare the greatness of Gary Oldman to such a hack?
Oldman's performance in State Of Grace alone whoops anything anyone in this thread has done, barring sam jackson.
i agree, when i think of villians, i think of Gary Oldman.
I just watched the professional before, how can you not love him and yet fear him at the same time?
he's also one of the coolest villians ever, outside of Christopher Walken in King of New York.
TYPECAST VILLIAN! Gary Oldman is too good of an actor to ever play the same villian twice! He's multi-faceted!
your definition of typecast villian seems to be a guy who plays "the exact same character in every movie", while the rest of ours is "a guy who plays villians in every movie." by your definition, for the few years he was famous, zabka may be it, but by ours, Gary Oldman is the greatest typecast villian Evar.

Exactly! This thread is devoted to recoginzing the greatness which is Billy Zabka.
I mean, look what he's been doing these days.
Fuck Oldman, he's all cool, chilling in his palace, swimming in all his villian money. Billy's keeping it real!

That's what typecast means!
To assign (a performer) repeatedly to the same kind of part.
Oldman is versitile but he has been type cast even by his own admission to always playing the role of a bad guy.
i think jays means really horrible c list actors who play villians repeatedly.
Typecast as a villian is still a very general and inclusive type of character. I mean, either your a good guy, a bad guy, or both. So, yeah, if that's a typecast.
But when typecast is used, as an insulting term, to say that an actor is consistantly cast as the same character, cmon, Billy Zabka, baby! Give him some glory!
well a current typecast guy is sean william scott and he's giving zabka a run for his money. the three american pie movies, road trip, dude wheres my car? so what do you have to say about that, sucka?
he's no villian. He's wacky, outrageous guy.
yeah but he is quite typecast
oldman is one of the greatest actors of our time. but i wouldn't say he's typecast.
Exactly! To be typecast implies that a person can't really act!

He always plays a bad guy or a historical figure. If that's not type cast as a villian/bad guy I dunno what is.
Yeah, but it's not like he used the exact same character of Lee Harvey Oswald to play Zerg in The Fifth Element.
