since her breakthrough in Bridesmaids she's been in movie after movie where she's just played the same character: loud, obnoxious and aggressive.

(post any other actor/actresses you consider typecast)

Agreed with McCarthy, I'd say Jason Bateman too, he always plays a bit of a dowdy idiot - i.e. a soft ****e with no balls, if thats the right description?

I would say Ryan Gosling is going that way too. He seems to have replaced conventional acting with just staring into space in every film and probably making grown women wet themselves.
