I Am Not Leonard Nimoy: Difference between revisions

* [[Jackie Chan]]'s films are well... Jackie Chan films. People watch them to see Jackie get up to crazy action hijinks. His characters are even called [[The Danza|"Jackie"]] in many dubs.

** The [[Rush Hour]] blooper reels have multiple instances of his co-star addressing him as "Jackie" instead of his character's name. Realizing the take was wasted already, he often responded in kind.

* [[Jack Nicholson]] is always Jack Nicholson, whether he's [[Satan]], [[Batman (film)|the Joker]], or [[The Shining|a psychotic writer]]. With the notable exceptions of Charley Partanna in ''Prizzi's Honor'' (Remember? He's stupid) and the detective in ''[[Chinatown]]''.

* [[Ernest Borgnine]].

* [[Tom Cruise]], once he became a tabloid regular, to the extent that Cruise actually managed to somehow overshadow the ''[[War of the Worlds]]'' remake.

** Comedian Rich Hall has a bit where he sums up every Tom Cruise movie:

** Subverted ''hard'' in ''[[Tropic Thunder]]'', where he caught pretty much everybody by surprise. But still this trope because the character became 'Tom Cruise doing that shocking comedy thing'. Most people probably couldn't even remember the name of the character if they tried. {{spoiler|Les Grossman}}

* [[Adam West]], who finally [[Adam Westing|embraced it]] and plays "Adam West, the lunatic who never got past ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]''".

* [[Stephen Fry]] is this through and through; if he isn't playing "''Stephen Fry as a...''", then he can easily be found using his [[Little Big Planet|instantly]] [[Fable|identifiable]] [[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy|voice]] [[Winnie the Pooh|to]] [[Harry Potter|narrate]] [[Cozy Voice for Catastrophes|soothingly.]]

** [http://www.the-editing-room.com/v-for-vendetta.html The Editing Room] justifies this by pointing out that Stephen [[Meta Casting|pretty much plays the role of "Stephen Fry"]] in [[V for Vendetta]]:

* [[Robin Williams]], with the exceptions of ''[[One Hour Photo]]'' and ''[[Law and Order Special Victims Unit]]''. Although even in his SVU appearance, his penchant for doing funny voices ''is specifically made into a plot point''.

* [[Bruce Willis]], unless he's playing [[Die Hard|John McClane]].
