Typecast More than Anyone in Hollywood

Not to say he doesn't get good roles but I'm sure he is tired of being either the coach or law enforcement. He's worked in high profile movies and shows but I'm sort of tired of seeing him in the same sort of roles. Argo, Zero Dark Thirty, The Wolf of Wall Street, Broken City, Super 8 and Bloodline are all works of his in the last 5 years alone in which he is either a cop or agent of the CIA/FBI. Would love to see him in more diverse roles.

He does get typecast a bit. He plays a slightly different character in Carol and Broken City though neither he has a huge amount of screen time. I do think he has a great amount of range in his roles even though he is typecasted. But it would be nice to see him in other stuff

He has a good look and mannerisms that make him good for those roles. He seems "official".

Get on the scale son! Get off the scale.
