We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which actors play the same roles over and over again, and it turns out a lot of the submissions were male actors. Here’s what they had to say:
1.
Adam Sandler

Sony Pictures Releasing
“Adam Sandler always plays the annoying man-child who always hits on pretty women who are WAY out of his league.” —goosethekitty
“Adam Sandler only ever plays himself in movies and how he would react to the scenario his character is in.” —gabbiebbz
2.
Daniel Craig

Lionsgate
“Two words: DANIEL. CRAIG. He’s always the mysterious, smart guy.” —chachablabla
“Daniel Craig. Dude has ONE facial expression.” —sofiaa4aeda76ee
3.
Dwayne Johnson
Paramount Pictures
“Dwayne Johnson! I mean, don’t get me wrong…I do like several of his movies, but he’s always this badass who kicks ass and takes names. It’s like his character’s name changes and so does the scenery, but it’s basically the same movie, lol.” —tracy110302
4.
Jesse Eisenberg
Columbia Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection
“Jesse Eisenberg, aka the judgmental nerd who thinks he’s better than everyone else — with a hint of misogyny.” —lottie_3
5.
Will Smith
Warner Bros.
“I have to say Will Smith. He’s always the good guy, even when he’s the bad guy — if they had kept I Am Legend true to the book, he could have given a great performance. But, no. He had to be the hero.” —marinas6
6.
Danny Trejo
Open Road Films / Courtesy Everett Collection
“He’s always the badass machete killer guy.” —wuntchtimeisover
7.
Hugh Grant
Universal Pictures
“He’s pretty much the same vaguely charming, intelligent, British bloke with very little moral compass in every film he’s in. Two Weeks Notice? Bridget Jones? Love Actually? He basically plays himself.” —amyswinners
8.
Michael Cera
Sony Pictures
“Michael Cera always plays the awkward and dorky boy who looks deeply uncomfortable while functioning.” —helenavanh
9.
Vince Vaughn
New Line Cinema
“Uhhh, Vince Vaugh! He plays a grown-up version of his Swingers character in every single movie.” —cs613
10.
Jack Nicholson
Columbia Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection
“He’s played the same sleazebag in every movie he’s been in since Easy Rider.” —jeffn031
11.
Noah Centineo
Netflix
“Noah Centineo was the first person I thought of when I read the question.” —jakestigo1425
12.
Will Ferrell
Sony Pictures Releasing
“An overgrown man-baby in every single movie he’s ever been in. His characters are completely interchangeable and unimaginative.” —b492e17612
13.
Jim Carrey
Warner Bros. / Courtesy Everett Collection
“With VERY few exceptions, he’s the same obnoxious, irritating, over-the-top guy in everything he does — which is sad, because he really is a good actor when he’s not being Jim Carrey.” —catlovett
14.
Al Pacino
Paramount Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection
“Al Pacino — that poor man rarely gets a happy ending in his movies. It’s always the same old thing.” —gbrlayala99
15.
Jackie Chan
New Line Cinema / Courtesy Everett Collection
“Jackie Chan’s films are just based around how he can do karate. He’s always this hardened guy with a tragic backstory who comes from a strict home. If you notice, he uses the same moves in his movies! I know he turned to family comedy in his later years, but even so, come up with some new moves!” —senpainoticedu
17.
Jeff Goldblum
Universal Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection
“Jeff Goldblum: forever the slightly weird, quirky eccentric. Nearly every character he plays has an incapability to say a full sentence without throwing in an unnecessary amount of ‘Errmms’ and ‘Ummms’ between every other word!” —aaronbenb
18.
Robert Downey Jr.
Marvel
“Robert Downey Jr. is always an overly confident snarky dude. He just basically always embodies Tony Stark.” —alexandrak4a2b5f498
“I love Robert Downey Jr. so much, but he’s become this way. Tony Stark, Sherlock Holmes, his character in The Judge — they’re all the same.” —akylam
19.
And Mark Wahlberg
STX Entertainment / Courtesy Everett Collection
“Mark Wahlberg always seems to play a hyper-masculine and extremely obnoxious man who ends up involved in some sort of action scenario. He taunts some other guy who he perceives as being weaker/less masculine than him.” —mattyc3
