As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.

It's not fun for an actor to be pigeonholed in any way.

Being pigeonholed is the death of all actors.

Sometimes people offer you plays, they offer you parts, but they only offer it because I'm famous.

I think that I've been pigeon-holed by virtue of the fact that I've spent so much time in front of a green screen.

Yeah, there's a tendency to get pigeonholed in Hollywood.

I would love to do parts I have never done before, but unfortunately, if you have had success in a particular type of character, the casting agents think, 'Oh! We'll have something exactly like that.' It's very boring.
