10 Typecast Actors Who Will Always Be "That Guy/Girl"

9. Angelina Jolie - The Edgy Sexpot

angelinajolie You have to give Angelina Jolie some credit, in her off-screen life, she's certainly proved capable of transforming her public image. She went from being seen as the edgy party girl who was maybe a little bit too close to her brother and carried around a vial of her husband's (Billy Bob Thorton, at the time) blood, to a sophisticated mother of six and humanitarian. But as far as her screen identity goes, she will probably always been seen as the sexy tough girl. When your career is dominated by performances in films like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Mr and Mrs Smith, it's going to be hard for audiences to shake that image of you. When Angelina Jolie acts in films that she herself is directing, we see the more mature roles that she'd probably like to be considered for more often. But as she's poised to age amazingly into her forties and beyond, we're convinced that she's going to keep getting offered those types of roles. In twenty five years, when they do a remake of Red, it'll be Angelina Jolie starring as the retired MI6 operative that was originally played by Helen Mirren, and she'll probably still be smoking hot.
