	What is Typecasting?
		Essentially, typecasting is the practice of hiring an actor based primarily on a specific or infamous role he or she portrayed earlier.
		Typecasting usually involves a mainstream actor whose potential may be limited if he or she becomes too closely associated with a role.
		Typecasting can be a double-edged sword, since the actor benefits from portraying a popular character, but often pays the price creatively after the role ends.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Typecasting (acting)
		Typecasting is the process by which an actor is strongly identified with a role, several similar roles, or a particular genre.
		Typecasting happens to both actors of great and modest ability: an actor may become typecast either because of a strong identification with a particular role or because he or she doesn't have the versatility or talent to move on to other roles.
		In 1953, she was cast as discontented wife Karen Holmes in From Here to Eternity, a role that resulted in one of the most iconic screen kisses of all time and proved that she did not have to be prim and proper.

	Typecasting \| Criticism \| Find Articles at BNET.com
		However, while the assumption seems to be that typecasting is a sign of an actor's limitation, a concession to commercialism, and the antithesis of art and originality, we also expect actors to stick to type and often reject actors' efforts to play against type.
		As with typecasting, critics and audiences will frequently view an actor's efforts to play against type as evidence either of the actor's lack of talent--because the actor is unconvincing in the new role--or as gross commercialism--insofar as the role is assigned to a money-making star rather than a better suited but less known actor.
		Typecasting may be, as one critic put it, "one of the theatre's deadly sins" and the "sublimation of the unprofessional in acting," (5) but, as these tangled and somewhat contradictory responses to typecasting suggest, typecasting in film is, to a large degree, inescapable.

		Consequences of specific typecasting sequences to their implementation in a distributed environment are highlighted.
		In an inheritance hierarchy, typecasting is either a widening operation, or a narrowing operation.
		Since a desire for hiding of implementation types conflicts with a typecasting request, if the latter has to be performed by the client, a suitable solution needs to be adopted by the distributed environment.

		is, in method acting, when an actor attempts to draw upon memories of prior emotions to match the emotions of their character.
		At its worst it is often associated with acting of the past in which realism was not ubiquitously prized and stereotyped gestures were used to "indicate" emotions rather than actually showing them.

	In film or finance, typecasting could offer a path to success - MIT Sloan Newsroom
		Employees may believe that moving from job to job helps prevent placement in narrow career pigeon holes, but an MIT Sloan School professor's study of the film industry — where the word “typecasting” was born — finds that the practice can actually offer real advantages.
		The overwhelming majority of acting aspirants never get their names on the big screen in any kind of role, Zuckerman says.
		“Typecasting provides a route into the industry by conferring the minimum level of recognition necessary to continue to obtain work, even if this recognition involves the adoption of a generic identity,” Zuckerman's study says.

	Cineaste: Current Issue
		To me, having spent a lot of time researching their lives and careers, one of these guys is extremely retro, a minimalist, one-dimensional, back-in-the-1950’s type in the roles he plays and films he makes, whereas the other is a more open-ended, rebellious figure, whose work is rooted in the 1960’s.
		The actor Jeff Corey, who, while fllisted, served as an acting mentor to a generation of Hollywood thespians, advised me of Stanislavski’s dictum that an actor shouldn’t be hobbled by the “despotism of acquired habits,” which is the persona or role repeated with lazy or modest variation.
		Screen acting is compiled editing of the ‘best’ takes that could have been filmed over the course of years.

	The Flick Filosopher \| A Chat with Ioan Gruffudd
		I know a lot of actors are drawn to acting because they do like getting lost in other characters, lost in the fantasy.
		But also, from an acting point of view, they can be quite easy, because they're so removed from you that it is playing.
		It's the ultimate use of the imagination, whereas playing heroes and leading men is quite hard because you need to be neutral and you need to be a hero, and you're not necessarily being the most interesting character.

	Sal Mineo at AllExperts
		Mineo, born in The Bronx, New York City as the son of a Sicilian coffin maker, was enrolled by his mother in dancing and acting school at an early age.
		His acting ability and exotic good looks earned him not only roles as a Native American boy in Tonka, but also as a Jewish emigrant in Otto Preminger's Exodus for which he received another Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor (and reportedly was bitterly disappointed when he didn't win.)
		By the early 1960s he was getting too old to play the types that had made him famous and for a variety of reasons wasn't considered appropriate for leading roles.

		Actually in each physical act there is an inner psychological motive which impels physical action, as in every psychological inner action there is also physical action, which expresses its psychic nature.
		We cannot directly act on our emotions, but we can prod our creative fantasy and [it] stirs up our emotion or affective memory, calling up from its secret depths, beyond the reach of consciousness, elements of already experienced emotions, and re-groups them to correspond with the images which arise in us.
		As long as we are acting creatively this film (an unbroken series of images) will be thrown on the screen of our inner vision, making vivid the circumstances among which we are moving.

		Glenn Ford was one of a dwindling breed of movie stars who was immune to typecasting and experienced success in multiple film genres even though he became thoroughly identified as a Western icon.
		In addition to his acting, Glenn Ford served with distinction during World War II and retired as a full Captain in the United States Naval Reserve.
		Despite the distinctiveness of his acting, Glenn Ford’s career is notable by the failure of both the Motion Picture Academy and the American Film Institute to formally honor the actor for his work.

	Movie Acting, the Film Reader -- Pamela Robertson Wojcik
		In her introduction, Pamela Robertson Wojcik argues that theorists from a variety of schools have traditionally looked down on film acting as either part of the scenery, a result of cinematic technique, or an element of the cinematic gaze.
		Wojcik writes, “While the actor is viewed as part of the mise-en-scène, and linked to theatrical components, his or her performance is viewed as an effect of framing, sound, and, in particular, editing — a composite created during post-production.
		These contradictory views contribute to the perception that film acting isn’t really acting.” In recent years, however, the influence of cultural studies, star studies, and a new historicism in film studies has led many scholars to take another look at the distinctive nature of film acting.

		Aware that both modeling and acting gigs for women tend to diminish rapidly as they age, Macpherson has taken measures to extend her financial solvency well into the future.
		In between acting classes and physique maintenance, she further expressed her entrepreneurial bent by founding the burgeoning Fashion CafT chain of concept fantasy eateries, sharing the responsibilities and rewards of restaurant ownership with fellow models Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell.

		I had some success at an acting school for over 18 years, and ran a full time theatre company that was in residence at Dowling College and I also ran professional shows (I selected) on Theatre Row or other smaller theatres around NYC.
		The rushing and commerce-driven pressures placed on everyone in developing theatre art today as well as films and television, rely very heavily on typecasting which is destroying not only the art form, but the possibility for advancement of the art of acting.
		Nevertheless, with acting, something obviously happens between the conscious and unconscious of the actor, where the habit of the characters inner life becomes second nature - and you can allow him to exist with you on stage.

	STANISLAVSKI'S ACTING METHOD AND CONTROL THEORY: COMMONALITIES ACROSS TIME, PLACE, AND FIELD \| Social Behavior and ...
		Constantin Stanislavski revolutionized 20th century theater by developing a highly articulated and practical system of acting, now referred to simply as "the method." Stanislavski's method presents a model of human behavior and motivation that is strikingly similar to the "control theory" of psychologists Charles Carver and Michael Scheier.
		To accomplish this task, he too created a complex and cohesive model of human motivation, emotion, and behavior, and he too believed that he had distilled some of the basic processes that inform human behavior, both on and off the stage, saying that his acting method "is a part of our organic natures.
		These two models of human emotion, motivation, and behavior were articulated in different fields, in different eras, in different countries, and for different purposes.

		Just as young actresses who are typecast get more film roles, a person pegged as a retail banking marketing assistant will find it easier to get a new job than someone with more general marketing experience.
