Well then, I don't know what to tell you. Apparently you've never seen good acting then. (Acting is the art of playing different people. If all you do is play the same person and are unable to portray anyone different, you're not really acting. Watch Shia in any of his movies or tv shows, he's the same annoying kid in every single one. And I doubt it's cause he's being type cast. That usually happens with actors that portray a character so well that everyone loves the portrayel that they hire him to do the same one over and over... like Jack Nicholson or Christopher Walken. Hell, I can't relaly tell if Nicholos Cage is type cast or can't act, I have a feeling it's a little of both).
