I think Adam Sandler is a good example of an actor who CAN play more than one role (Uncut Gems as an example) but mostly only does movies that are all the same role.
Sandler does whatever he likes and has turned moviemaking into a system to finance people in need and even though i think his movies are dogshit i respect the hell outta him for that
I read an interview where he was talking about giving all his friends jobs and getting paid to travel and make movies with them and it made me like him as a person quite a bit.
Still not a fan of his movies but I can’t fault his logic.
He’s also known for hiring people so they can keep their SAG insurance (especially a key grip or similar who was dying of cancer) and …well, read up on the jack and jill escape theory
Thats kinda hard to say tbh…

Yeah, that’s the other-side-of-the-coin of your question but much more interesting. For instance, there’s a list of examples on the wiki page for typecast: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typecasting#Playing_against_type

Everyone pisses on Sandler, but he’s got range and variety in his roles. Studios pay him to be silly so he can take chances on other roles.
