10 Actors Who Always Play The Same Characters (And Once Where They Didn't)

1. Michael Cera

Michael Cera is the soft talking, reserved actor who has appeared in some of comedies best modern-day cult classics, such as Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Juno and Superbad. Cera consistently appears in brilliantly funny comedy films and was a staple of coming-of-age movies in the 2000s. But Michael is one of the most consistently typecast actors in Hollywood.

Cera keeps his film roster constant with his roles of the awkward and quiet character who is always at the mercy of his more extroverted co-stars. Never a screaming or confident character, Cera matches it with his own personality - though his vast array of awkward teenagers trying to make their way in life vastly outshine the rest.

The One Exception - Molly's Game

Molly's Game offers up Michael Cera in an unrecognisable role. Cera plays Player X, a newly famous Hollywood star who is trying to strike it big in poker games. Cockiness and confidence exudes in his every scene and it is a far cry from his typical self. Audiences are yet to see more of Michael Cera's confident character side but Molly's Game was an insight into his range as an actor.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
