Same character energy

These 10 actors have played mostly the same character through much of their career. We're not mad. We're here for the typecasting

Lindsay Lohan.

Through Mean Girls, via Just My Luck, past Confessions Of A Drama Queen and down to Irish Wish – Lohan has been the lovable disaster girl. Well-meaning but caught in cosmic bad timing. Things go wrong, she panics adorably, and love arrives right after the chaos. Her characters can lose a job, fail a math exam (Damn, Africa, what happened?) trip over destiny, and still get the guy.

Sidharth Malhotra.

Oh Sid. Always the nice guy with great shoulders and a sad backstory. From Student of the Year to Hasee Toh Phasee and Baar Baar Dekho, he's played the hardworking hero who just needs the right girl to tell him that he deserves happiness. His characters always look like they've just come from a gym + therapy combo session. And that smile... it makes the audience forgive every bad decision (and film) he's ever made.

Sofia Carson.

Carson has perfected the Female Romantic Lead formula. She's the talented, ambitious girl who has zero time for love. She'll fight romance with spreadsheets, sarcasm and sheer willpower. But she'll let destiny's plans override hers. In Purple Hearts, The Life List, and My Oxford Year, she's the guarded dream-chaser in cool cardigans. If she gasps, looks away, and says “I can’t do this,” you know love is seconds away.
