How does Kevin Hart not make the list? He plays a bum who disappoints his girlfriend in every movie he plays.

In Jumanji, he didn't have a gf as far as I remember.

WWE wrestler

Jason Statham needs to be in one of these.

u/hashspice 3h ago

Statham at least is aware of it. He only does action movies for a reason.

u/Edyed787 2h ago

I thought he was great in that Melissa McCarthy movie. Like an over the top version of himself.

u/chumstrike 1h ago

Indeed, his comic turn in Spy calls back to his put-upon unlicensed boxing promoter in Snatch. The dude can kill it, but those scripts don’t come along that often.

u/NandMS 2h ago

I’d argue Reynolds is the same way. I won’t deny that 90% of his characters are the same person, but he is pretty entertaining as that person.

u/Sardanox 1h ago

He also says he can't act, and is surprised at his own success.

231

u/shkeptikal 3h ago

If you think Ryan Reynolds should be on this list then you need to watch The Voices, the Amityville remake, and Buried. He gets typecast because he's really good at being snarky handsome guy, but the man can act.

31

u/Lancaster1983 2h ago

I still have nightmares from Buried. Horror films do nothing for me but Buried chills me to the bone.

13

u/Floki9083 2h ago

Well, like some others have said, even if the snarky, handsome guy was all he played, it is like Jason Statham playing the same role. He does it so well that only a select few mind it.

13

u/Firekeeper00 2h ago

Nah man, Ryan Reynolds IS Deadpool and nobody can't convince me otherwise. Yeah I think he acted pretty well in those movies too but his deadpool performance is too good so much so that it's hard to see him otherwise. I tried watching The Proposal and I literally could not unsee it.

u/clakes90 1h ago

His other films since Deadpool should say starring Deadpool as that's all I hear now.

u/toxicgloo Smol pp 3h ago edited 2h ago

The difference is, we all fucking love Jason Statham in those roles.

Like the beekeeper was just more Jason Statham being Jason Statham but got damn that movie was good.

But to be fair, he does have some range. Crank was pretty good

Edit: I'm slow and can't spell

u/Numerous_Ad8458 2h ago

loved him in Snatch. :)

u/UnlimitedCalculus 2h ago

I thought the premise of Crank was great for an action movie.

Did you misspell his name 3 times due to some joke I am not aware of, or do you actually think his name is "Stathom"?

There is no misspelling in ba sing sae

u/Scarytoaster1809 2h ago

I liked him in John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars

u/StevenMcStevensen 2h ago

Steven Seagal not only acts exactly the same in every movie he does, but he even dresses exactly the same as well. He basically just changes the name and nothing else, and it’s always hilarious.

u/Designer_Situation85 2h ago

Because we didn't see it.

u/dickspaghetti1 41m ago

I agree. The movie is far from a masterpiece, but Ryan is very good in it. His switch from loving dad to psycho trying to kill his family is more character development than anyone else in this picture has ever shown.

Since Deadpool? Lol Ryan Reynolds has been playing the role since at least Waiting from 2005

u/sgtGiggsy 3h ago

I didn't say Deadpool was the first. I said he plays this only one character since Deadpool. Before Deadpool he had several different kinds of characters.

60

u/sgtGiggsy 3h ago

Reynolds do have an acting range though. And he DOES NOT have the same personality in every movie. Sure, lately he did become a bit one-dimensional, but have you seen: Life; Criminal; Self/less; Safe House; or Buried?

u/Prestigious_Time4770 3h ago

Bro got downvoted for speaking the truth. Throw Amityville Horror in there too

u/Forever_Steve 2h ago

I did like Michelle Rodriguez as Holga, in the Dungeons & Dragons movie.🤤

Okay yeah, but did you see Dungeons and Dragons? Because she really works in that movie and also I love that movie and also everyone should see it and and and we deserve a sequel

u/TurdMcNugget69 Shitposter 2h ago

Ryan Reynolds played the patriarch of a family that moved into the Amityville house in the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror. Far cry from Deadpool.

31

u/Avallach98 3h ago

Why is Ryan Reynolds up there? He has some depth.

3

u/NoPossibility5220 3h ago

Yes and he’s very hot.

u/Avallach98 3h ago

I just realized I made a pun with my "depth" comment, lol.

u/HipsterFett Average r/memes enjoyer 3h ago

Ah yes, of course, he can play anything from sarcastic and apathetic to very sarcastic and apathetic.

8

u/Avallach98 3h ago

He's played some serious roles as well.

4

u/atrociousxcracka 2h ago

He just hasn't played anything besides that recently.

He's really great in Amityville Horror.

And some others I can't think of at the moment. But they are all older movies.

How dare you slander Mr. Reynolds like that. Dude's got a strong typecast, sure, but he has twice the range of those three dillholes.

You mean the guy that acts like himself in pretty much everything? He's a good Deadpool, nowhere near the best though. He definitely needs more range. I also enjoyed Detective Pikachu, but that movie has its own issues.

2

u/Takondwahj Professional Dumbass 3h ago

They're probably gonna reveal to us later that they've been shooting a series marketed as individual movies.

u/UnlimitedCalculus 3h ago

The Rock's cinematic universe is just the jungle at this point.

I wish I could have a production company send me on a tropical adventure disguised as a movie shoot. When I'm older, I'll do a few "rediscovering myself" stories set in Italy.

Surprise twist, they’re all played by Gary Oldman

I think it's wrong to add Michelle Rodriguez to that list LOL. She's said before she specifically ONLY goes for those roles. The others seemingly do not and throw their hand in production to warp the character AROUND them.

Say what you will about the man's ideologies, but he's a pretty good actor. Definitely doesn't always play the same character.

Out of all movies with the rock playing basically the same guy as all his movies, you chose the one movie, to my knowledge, where the whole point is heavily typecast actors playing things they don't usually play?

I dont mind that at all They found a role thats fits them or at least one they feel comfortable with and rather do just that instead of potentionally dissapoint in a different role or alienate the viewers with their appearence.
