Toshiro Mifune (although a very good actor) played the same role in more than a dozen Kurosawa films.I also think that Dennis Hopper has played the same "crazy, hippie psycho" in one too many films. Aside from "Hoosiers" where he played the "depressed, drunk, sad" father, he is the same person in every film.
Tom Hanks has done some decent films (granted, Castaway was crap) but he seems like the same character in most of his films. He plays himself in most films, although I did like him in Apollo 13.
One actor who showed a greater degree of range than people give him credit for is Lee Marvin. Anyone remember the film who won something for? It sure as hell wasn't the "Dirty Dozen".
Bruce Willis also plays the same role most of the time.
