What roles are certain actors made for??!!

[jaymx]

I think that there is a certain role(s) that a particular actor/actress is made for.

Example being that I reckon Michael Douglas was made for the rich, bastard-type businessman role as we see him as Nicholas Van Orten in The Game and even as long ago as Gordon Gekko in Wall Street. He is not just good at this type of role but it fits him perfectly.

Please tell me that I'm not the only schmoe that think this about particular actors.

Ah-nuld can only do one type of role and he's overdone it. Seriously, the only movie I can watch of his is Terminator 2. Why doesn't he try something else? Junior wasn't that bad. But no, he still puts out duds like Collateral Damage.

Damn, I was about to mention that one! Anyways, Arnie's T-800 Terminator will be regarded as his best role long after his death. He doesn't need to display any acting ability, he just needs to be there and look tough. You guys know what I mean!
