A few guys who have made lucrative careers for themselves out of typecasting:
Samuel L. Jackson
Morgan Freeman
Hugh Grant
Others that havent faired so well:
Mark Hamill
Ralph Macchio
Sara Michelle Gellar
Harry Potter/ Daniel Radcliffe is an interesting one to watch I rekon... He seems to be doing his best to avoid any sort of negative typecasting. His next role is playing Allen Ginsberg and he's done a fair range of movies to date. Will be interesting to see in a few years, I can't imagine it being easy to shake the Harry Potter tag though.
