It's one of those things that doesn't quite make sense to me, but it still sticks in my head. Whenever I see an actor or an actress for the first time in a movie (even if it wasn't their first film but it's the first film I see them in), that role stereotypes them in my head and I can't quite convince myself that they're able to play other roles or that they're not really evil people. Examples:

- Tommy Lee Jones as a crazy terrorist in Under Siege. For the longest time, I couldn't find him believable in a good-guy role.
- Laura San Giacomo as a bad girl hookin' up with the Devil in "The Stand." Seeing her in that mini-series was the main reason why I never liked her show "Just Shoot Me." Well, that and the fact that it's fairly dumb and just not funny.
- Alan Rickman as a not-so-crazy terrorist in Die Hard. And I was confused when I saw him in his next film and he didn't have a German accent.

It could be said that they're doing such a great job acting to be able to convince me of how believable they are in their characters. Or it could be said that I'm just strange.
