5 TV Actors Who Have Become Victims Of Typecasting

Bollywood is not the only place where actors get typecast. TV also its share of actors who look the same, sound the same and act the same in all their serials. Here’s a list of a few of them who have become victims of typecasting.

Ram Kapoor

Whenever you spot him on TV, you will take a moment to figure out if you’re watching Kasamh Se or Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, especially when he’s the only one in the frame. Always suited-booted, angry, frustrated, ranting, Ram Kapoor is always a business tycoon. Funnily, the house where he’s shot for both the serials are almost same looking, and so are his offices. Ram Kapoor is a curious case of typecasting. To add icing to the cake, he always uses his own name, Ram Kapoor for his characters.

Sourabh Jain

Sourabh is the GOD of Indian TV. He’s majorly aced the art of playing Lord Krishna in all mythological serials. He’s also played the role of Lord Vishnu.

Barun Sobti

Angry young businessman who always hates the girl, with whom he eventually falls in love with, is how we know Barun Sobti so far. An actor par excellence, he’s fallen into the trap of being typecast.

Arjun Bijlani

His entire persona in all his serials has always been consistent. The way he delivers his dialogues with a noticeable pause in between words, that constantly raised eyebrow and poker face is his signature style on TV. From Mile Jab Hum Tum To Pardes Main Hai Mera Dil, he’s doing the same thing as Barun Sobti, i.e. falling in love with the girl who irritates him in the first meeting.

Vivian Dsena

We fondly remember him for his show Pyaar Ki Yeh Ekk Kahaani where he played a vampire called Abhay, our Indian Edward. He hardly spoke in the show but his constant poker face and killer silence was a rage. That continued with his serial Madhubala too. Always angry, ranting and mostly repenting, Vivian needs to smile and take a chill pill on TV.
