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

2. Emma Roberts

A regular teen movie comedy star is Emma Roberts. She has been a solid TV and film actress throughout the years and has played some brilliant characters in both. Roberts was acting from a very early age and has since established a solid film roster full of interesting shows and movies but that hasn't stopped her becoming a consistent typecast.

Roberts consistently plays the same character, a mean and sarcastic bitch who constantly belittles and scrutinises her fellow characters. Regularly portrayed as wealthy or well connected, her character's always have some kind of power over others and she regularly abuses anyone near here. Roberts is not a mean person however she plays the character so well that she has been stuck in her typecasting.

The One Exception - The Winning Season

Unfortunately panned by critics, The Winning Season is Emma Roberts' most diverse role to date. Not a typical sports movie star, Roberts shines as a high school basketball player, helping a down on his luck Sam Rockwell reconnect with his daughter. It is a far cry from Roberts' usual mean bitch roles despite being stuck in a mediocre movie.

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.
