Hmmm..... being typecast isn’t good for any actor’s career, but to be known forevermore as the best Hitler in cinema?

George Reeves got typecast as Superman and it drove him to suicide, just sayin’.

IMO better to be a versatile character actor. Before Alec Guiness played Obi Won-Konobe, he was Hitler in “The Last Ten Days”. Of course, it was a teensy offputting to hear der Fuhrer speaking in a clipped British accent.

It won’t hurt Ganz. He’s been an actor for decades with a HUGE body of work in every language. The George Reeves/”Superman” story is a myth. But I’ll agree, I can’t see Daniel Radcliff as anyone but Harry Potter. Or Elijah Wood as anyone but Frodo.
