The main fiasco of acting is getting yourself into a character. The character might be far off different from what you actually are IRL but, that’s your job and you gotta ace it.
Were used to seeing our favorite characters playing different roles. But all of us have a comfortable character, the role we’re used to the see the character play, and the fun fact is it doesn’t get monotonous for us.

Below is the list of actors who have pretty much played the same role in most of the movies they have acted:
1. Pankaj Tripathi – North Indian man
The versatile actor has appeared in multiple flicks in recent past. Some of the films include Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), Newton (2017), Fukrey Returns (2017), Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl (2020), or Mimi (2021).
But the fun fact is most of the films gave him the same role and acting scheme to do. In an interview with India Today, he said,
“I don’t have to work hard for 90 percent of the roles I get (laughs). Most of the brief I get is simple – there’s a North Indian man, aur tum apna wala kuch kar dena (and then you do you).”
2. Salman Khan – Badass hero
Apart from playing the character of Prem, Tere Naam, Tubelight and Sultan, Salman Khan has been playing almost similar roles. A comedy movie or a badass cop role, Salman hasn’t experimented much and sticks with commercial films.

He said ‘Sir, aapko pata hai aapne hero ke dostun ko respect de di’ (Do you know you gave respect to hero’s friends). I felt so good about it.
