10 Actors Who Play The Same Character in Every Movie

2. Arnold Schwarzenegger

Style: Arnold Schwarzenegger Ahnie! There is, can be, will only ever be one Arnold Schwarzenegger. The man goes down in cinema history as someone who plays the exact same character regardless of the role, whether it be the most hardcore actioner or the silliest Merry Christmas fare (a€™la Jingle All The Way). Arnie isn€™t an actor. Not exactly. He€™s a presence. A force of nature. A wonder of the world if you€™ll indulge me. As I mention with Steven Seagal, action stars normally offer something that other actors can€™t. With Seagal it€™s his Aikido expertise; with Jackie Chan it€™s his Kung-Fu training and his willingness to do insane stunts; with Arnie, it€™s his size. And not just his physical size either, but the sheer, uncontainable scale of the man€™s personality. It cannot be tempered, it cannot be diluted, it cannot be stopped; it€™s like the f***ing Blob. Arnold Schwarzenegger is probably one of the greatest action stars in existence. This isn€™t down to how well he can pretend he€™s someone else; it€™s almost entirely down to how amazingly good he is at marketing himself. Just like Bogart or McQueen. He€™s himself in everything he€™s in, but really, that€™s exactly what we pay to see.
