    Typecast means that after 2 roles he would have only been hired for wizards from now on?

      The clue is in the word itself - it’s actually a spell that prevents you from being selected to portray literally anything else for the rest of your career as an actor.

        Unless you’ve been DuckTypeCast, in which case you can be anything (this is what happened to Gary Oldman)

      Well, maybe not wizard typecast, but typecast to play much older than he was. He was only 63 when he first played Gandalf. To put it in perspective, that’s only one year older than Tom Cruise is right now.

        Isn’t Gandalf a multi-thousand-year-old immortal angel of sorts? Seems like a bit of a strange concern in that context…

          Yeah, but he’s described as having the form of a wizened old man.

      I guess it might lead to some snowball effect
