Good Guy/Bad Guy
Here's a question for you (If this has been done before then, feel free to ignore/ move/ whatever)
Many actors/actresses are often cast in a particular genre or character type, and was wondering if anyone can come up with some suggestions for those actors who have been predominately cast as the villain or vice-versa, but have also appeared against type. Some suggestions: Christopher Lee - Hammers' Dracula, LOTR = Villain / Devil Rides Out = Hero I Monster = Both a goody and a baddy Peter Cushing - Hammers' Van Helsing, Dr. Who = Hero / Hammers' Frankenstein films, Star Wars = Villain Vincent Price - Witchfinder General = Villain / Madhouse = Hero Robin Williams - Popeye, Toys, Jack, Mrs Doubtfire = Hero(ine) / Insomnia, One Hour Photo = Villain Keanu Reeves - Matrix Trilogy, Speed = Hero / The Watcher, The Gift = Villain Roger Moore - James Bond = Hero / The Man Who Haunted Himself = Hero & Villain
