From tasteofcinema.com:
"There are numerous reasons to go to the movies, but one of the most substantial is to see our favorite stars in the next big film that comes out. But it's true that even stars can get typecast or stuck in a certain niche. That's what makes it so rewarding when an actor plays against type, at least when they nail it.
Such roles give the audience a different perspective, a different taste of what they can do, and often these types of roles can even help to redefine careers. In the 21st century there have undoubtedly been numerous such performances, but here are 15 worth considering."
