Yes, but how would we know this if we’ve only seen them in one type of role? Who knows how much range they may have?
The stereotype is actors hate being typecast because they long to be recognized for their dramatic range and want new ideas and projects to keep things personally interesting.
But that probably depends on the actor. If making bank by doing many similar Marvel movies, that likely eases the burden. Advantages to typecasting might be having parts written with you in mind, not having to audition as much, easier work, greater efficiency, plug and play fan base, etc. I’d bet some actors actually like or easily tolerate being typecast.
And if not, there is always Broadway or other avenues more forgiving about creative expression.
That’s a pretty well known role. They also brought him back to play the same character in Godfather 3.
I didn’t know that either, I’ll keep an eye out next time I watch Godfather 3.
I remember him as one of the Soviet cosmonauts on Gilligan’s Island, and the leader of the band of Romani who visit Mayberry (Through the forest, wild and free, comes our Gypsy melody…)
As well as being the mad scientist, Dr. Boris Balinkoff, on two episodes; in one, he swapped the bodies and minds of all of the castaways.
Scotti had a remarkably prolific career as an actor, but he wasn’t one of the cosmonauts on GI.
Until I read the article, I never realized he was the Japanese sailor who turned up in a miniature submarine in Season 1.
According to IMDb, the cosmonauts Igor and Ivan were played by Vincent Beck and Danny Klega, respectively.
“Nyet, Nyet, Not Yet” is one of my favorite episodes:
“So Sorry, My Island Now”:
He was the baker at the beginning of The Godfather. He asks for help keeping an Italian POW in the country because his daughter fell in love with him. That POW, Enzo the Baker, later helps Michael at the hospital. One cool Easter in part 3 is at the celebration in the beginning Enzo and his father in law made the cake. They got both Vito Scotti and the original guy who played Enzo to appear. It’s a blink and you missed it but it’s a nice touch.
Not Patrick Duffy, by any chance?
No, not Duffy. I doubt that he’d really care if I revealed his identity, but I’d rather not since I don’t have his explicit permission to discuss our private conversations.
I have a very good idea of who it might be, but I’ll respect your reticence.
You wouldn’t. However, I’ve seen typecast actors have a shot at a bigger role in a movie, fail, and that was it.
As an on-screen actor, sure. I’m sure for many people (myself included) he’s even better known as Inspector Gadget though. Not that that’s not typecasting 
Nonsense - if you’re good at Falstaff in both plays, you’ll likely make a great Toby Belch or Bottom and you can always play Antonio, Capulet - any large older man…
I bet Jason Statham has no problem being typecast as the guy who shoots guns, blows stuff up, drives fast cars, beats people up and kisses pretty girls. I bet he actively resists the idea of expanding his range.
I don’t know - he might want to do more comedy. He’s surprisingly good at it.
He’s a Movie Star not an Actor. You can be one or the other or even both. Professional Wrestlers, for instance, understand the assignment perfectly.
