Most Type-Casted Chinese Actors

As much as I love certain Chinese actors for their known acting persona or screen presence, I do personally wish to see them play more diverse roles with more emotional depth or layered characters.

These are some of the female / male actors I enjoy watching, but think they play the same role in many C-dramas.

Some female actresses - The same bubbly & bright, naive and at times a damsel in distress. More often than not, not the smartest tool in the shed type of character.

Some male actresses - Cold, manipulative & scheming. Or bright but clueless. Or the typical 'troupe' domineering CEO. Most of the time the silent sacrificial / suffering lover.

*Disclaimer: Not advocating any hate towards these actors. Simply wish to see them play more diverse & challenging roles as a fan of C-dramas.

-----------------------------------

It's sad to see some actors / actresses being typecast to play the same square roles. Either they haven't been given the opportunity to break out of their typecast and play diverse roles; or they are stuck in their comfort zone playing similar characters they are already known for.

Certainly hope they'll be able to break out of their molds as the same old same old gets boring.. *yawns*

Add yours and comment on which actors you feel have been typecast.
