Line 94:
* Classic example: In the end, [[Bela Lugosi]] ''was'' [[Dracula]], no matter what he did. However, it was his son and his fifth wife, not Lugosi himself, who decided to have him buried in a Dracula cloak.
** Even Lugosi's friends and coworkers couldn't help but typecast him. Vincent Price wrote in his autobiography that at Lugosi's funeral, Peter Lorre, observing the cape, turned to Price and asked, "Should we stick a stake in his heart just to be sure?"
* In a similar way, the 60s and 70s [[Christopher Lee]] ''was'' [[Dracula]]. In the mid-70s he decided that this was an undesirable thing and [[Creator Backlash|dissociated himself from the character]]. He has been fairly successful in this as time has passed - younger film watchers are more likely to think of him as [[The Lord of the Rings|Saruman]] or [[Star Wars|Count Dooku]].
** He seems to have traded in his vampiric role associations for [[Typecasting]] as authoritative villains, including King Haggard and the grouchy bishop in ''Corpse Bride''.
* [[Kelsey Grammer]] will probably always be identified with his eponymous in ''[[Frasier]]''. After all, he not only played it for 11 years in that show, but portrayed the same character for 9 years before that in ''[[Cheers]]''.
Line 234:
** It could be worse. He could be remembered as [[North]].
** Can't sleep! Elijah Wood will [[Sin City|eat me]]!
* <s> Frodo</s> Elijah Wood isn't the only ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' cast member to fall victim to this. Viggo Mortensen will always be Aragorn.
* Matt LeBlanc will always be [[Friends|Joey Tribbiani]]. He was practically playing himself on that show.
