On Actors Who Have Spent Their Entire Careers Playing the Same Character at 08/29/2007 11:46pm

What about Jack Nicholson? I mean, there was enough of that character for one and a half careers (including his bastard child Christian Slater's first half a career). Even Humphrey Bogart played basically the same person over and over, although he did deconstruct that character type in his later career. Playing the same character is a good way of keeping steady cash and accolades coming in (except for Affleck, poor fucker). Even DeNiro is always DeNiro, no matter how fat he gets for a role.
