Here's a question for you (If this has been done before then, feel free to ignore/ move/ whatever)

Many actors/actresses are often cast in a particular genre or character type, and was wondering if anyone can come up with some suggestions for those actors who have been predominately cast as the villain or vice-versa, but have also appeared against type.

Some suggestions:

Christopher Lee - Hammers' Dracula, LOTR = Villain / Devil Rides Out = Hero
I Monster = Both a goody and a baddy

Peter Cushing - Hammers' Van Helsing, Dr. Who = Hero / Hammers' Frankenstein films, Star Wars = Villain

Vincent Price - Witchfinder General = Villain / Madhouse = Hero

Robin Williams - Popeye, Toys, Jack, Mrs Doubtfire = Hero(ine) / Insomnia, One Hour Photo = Villain

Keanu Reeves - Matrix Trilogy, Speed = Hero / The Watcher, The Gift = Villain

Roger Moore - James Bond = Hero / The Man Who Haunted Himself = Hero & Villain
