Actors Who Played Against Type and Nailed It

Some of these actors were known for starring in different roles until they did that one big part that changed the way people thought about them. Leslie Nielsen, Robert Stack & Lloyd Bridges were old time action heroes until Airplane! Peter Lorre was a light comedian until the movie "M" & Mary Tyler Moore was America's sweetheart until she played a brittle, isolated woman in Ordinary People. Of course some of these folk were so good they became typecast in their new roles.
