I was listening to a bit of Sid James on the wireless earlier and it struck me that whatever I've seen him in, he has resolutely remained Sid James all the way through.
Who else would you class as being a one note actor and don't all shout out Steven Seagull |

"Michael Caine! Always sounds the same. Cockney wide boy! Xx
I thought that, but Educating Rita was a bit different "
True - and I was thinking that when I posted - but I think it was his only deviation from his norm! Xx |

I think you are right, unless you count Jaws 4, where he just sleepwalked through the filming... |

The one that has always got me was Sean Connery
But here's the interesting, and perhaps most endearing thing about him.
Despite the fact that he always speaks with the same accent etc, and is undoubtedly 'Sean Connery' he remains believable in whichever role he's playing.
Take, for example, his role as Captain Marco Ramius in 1990's The Hunt For Red October where he plays a Russian Submarine commander with a Scottish accent.
Or how about his role as Dr Henry Jones in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where he plays Indiana Jones' dad - with a scottish accent
But completely believable in both roles |

Barbara Windsor. Hugh Grant. Danny Dyer. To be fair it might not be their fault. You can't always be in a position to choose your roles to get to show your diversity. Can't see Babs and Danny "Malcolm" Dyer in Romeo and Juliette though. |

Don't forget Zardos. I'm shuddering at the thought of that now. |

Watch Danny Dyer in borstal boy. Very different from his other work. |

I doubt I could watch it. The title alone is off putting enough. |

It's not at all like the title suggests. It's about an irish fellow being befriended by an English chap in borstal and their ensuing relationship. Dyer acts very well in it and it's not at all like his normal roles. |

He was rather posh in that, until the shit hits the fan and he starts shouting....then you can hear the old "you were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off" creeping in |

"Along side Sid James..... Kenneth Williams....OOOOOOOH Matron "
Kenneth Williams was a very good character actor. He did a lot of stage work, nothing like the carry ons or Hancock. |

Saw him at the comedy store in Manchester. He did two sets, one stand up, the other as Otis Lee cranshaw and his band. I'm sure he's Moe's son from the Simpsons. |

Any and all soap actors, they just play themselves.
The only film actor I can think of who's really type cast is Hugh grant and maybe the bird from titanic |

"Colin Firth.
I disagree... In his Oscar nominated role a single man"
Did he play a slightly awkward, upper class Englishman with one face expression (a look of dull disapproval) by any chance? |
