I already responded to the first part, but about Fincher.

Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden, Cate Blanchett in Benjamin Button, Jesse Eisenberg as Zuckerberg, Rooney Mara as Lisbeth, Jared Leto in Panic Room, Kevin Spacey in Se7en.

How exactly these are typecasting.

They are all pretty obvious except Mara which was kind of impossible to typecast.

Can't say I expected a better counterargument.

Can't say I execpted you to put together common sense.

Pitt- plays a character which the main character wants to be and everyone think is "cool". Obvious choice for that is Brad Pitt.

Leto- plays a scumbag, douchey character, Leto clearly fits the bill perfectly.

Eisenberg- plays a nerdy character who needed to speak very quickly, Fincher saw this as a great fit.

Can't believe I had to explain this. :neutral:

What on earth are you even talking about?

I speak of actors' nationalities and how that can't prevent them from giving great performances as characters with different accents and birthplaces, you talk about typecasting. I speak of typecasting and you give me the argument about how they would seem fit for their characters?

Do you even realize the difference?

Of course Brad Pitt was a good choice for Durden, same with Eisenberg for Zuckerberg, but how that has to do anything with typecasting? Those characters were very different form the type they would've normally played as, at the time. Doesn't mean they wouldn't seem fit for the roles.

It's like saying DDL for Lincoln was typecasting because he seemed perfect for the role.

The point is there have been plenty of times where it has prevented an actor from giving a great performance.
