Actors who are hopelessly typecast no matter how many roles

You know who I'm talking about. Ned Beatty will always be remembered as "that guy from Deliverance".
No matter how many other films he does, he'll always have a pretty mouth.
Similarly, this guy.....
Will always be Nick Tortelli from Cheers.

Funny, I don't think of any of these roles when I think of either of these two. Especially Ned Beatty...I've seen him in tons of things.
And the other guy I'll always think of as Tom Hanks' boss in Joe Vs. The Volcano.

Anyone on any Star Trek series, ever. Except Enterprise, because no one watched that.

I'd have to agree. I haven't seen hide nor hair of Avery Brooks or Kate Mulgrew except for Star Trek specials.

Absolutely. He was "disposable Asian martial artist guy" for years.
Dan Heyada was wonderful in Joe Vs. the Volcano. But he'd been Nick to me first.

Scott Bakula (sp?) will always mean
Quantum Leap to me.
As far as typedcast actors...
Although when I think of Edward G. Robinson it's always from
The Ten Commandments:
and when I think Cagney it's
always from:

well I dont think of Dan Heyada that way. He is always a character actor to me.
I first saw him in Blood Simple and that character often pops in to my mind when I see him.
And he had a good turn in Alien 4...
And your Star Trek observation is good except for Patrick Stewart. He was and is a great actor that still works outside the series.
