8 More Actors Who Didn't Know They Were Being Weirdly Typecast

6. Scott Adkins Has Really Sore Eyes

Some actors have REALLY specific tropes in their acting careers, like Tom Hanks always going to the toilet in his movies, or Paul Rudd always dancing or Brad Pitt CONSTANTLY eating, but none are quite as specific as that of Scott Adkins.

At some stage in his career, a casting director seems to have looked at the hulking actor and decided he would look really, really good with some sort of major injury to his face. The marketing materials for Universal Soldier 4 split his forehead and brow open and bathed him in blood, Doctor Strange burned his eye sockets to mystical ash and when he stood in for Ryan Reynolds as Weapon XI in X-Men: Origins (yes, that's really him) , he had his eyes peeled for effect.

Seriously, if you search for pictures of him, it's almost impossible to avoid any that gave in some way injured his eye area. In fact, it even seems to be a running feature of his posters. Perhaps it's how he sells being a bad-ass?
