Line 78:
** Unless he's pitching Colt 45, Billy Dee Williams will always be Lando Calrissian. This was even played for laughs in ''[[Scrubs]]'', as Turk keeps calling him Lando, despite his insistent cry of "Billy Dee!".
** No mention yet of David Prowse and James Earl Jones yet? While the latter seems more liberated, the former is well known mainly for the role of Darth Vader.
*** And James Earl Jones has said that if all anyone ever remembers him for after he's gone is Darth Vader and [[The Lion King|Mufasa]], he'll be completely content with that, knowing the joy people have gotten out of both of those roles.
* The reported reason for Tiffany Brissette's early retirement from acting was her fear of being remembered only as Vicki from ''[[Small Wonder]]'' and being cast accordingly.
* [[Adam West]], try as he might, will always be "the campy [[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]". [[Adam Westing|He seems to be taking it well]]. Judging from a lot of his [[Old Superhero|recent roles]], he now appears to be typecast as the guy who was typecast. He follows William Shatner's route of [[I Am Not Leonard Nimoy|"hey, it's William Shatner!" roles]] to the point of [[Adam Westing|playing himself]] in ''[[Family Guy]]'', in one of the most surreal characters this side of [[Homestar Runner|Homsar]]. His role as the [[Batman: The Animated Series|The Gray ]][[Batman Beyond|Ghost]] was probably the best thing ever, as it stars an actor who played a super hero on TV, and is typecast for it. He is played by West. At first, he hates the typecasting, but when he finds out Batman was his biggest fan and the Batcave is a replica of his home base from his TV show, he helps Batman catch someone who is imitating an episode of his show. The villain is played by, and looks like, Bruce Timm. Later on, Bruce tells him the same line he did as Batman, which clues him in on who he is. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] ensues.
