The Joker

Definitive Roles

Published August 27, 2009 | By Chewie

There are some actors that can play many roles. There are others who are typecast and can never quite get outside of their comfort zone and play another character. There are still others that are forever linked to one particular character. That’s what this list is… the top 10 (in no particular order) “what character you think of first” list. For me, these are career defining roles for these actors. This is the first 10 that came to mind so I’m certainly not saying that there aren’t other career defining roles out there. Let the debate begin!
