I pity actors who have been forced to settle into a typecast after playing a character that was too memorable. Janet Leigh and Anthony Perkins had a hard time finding work after the debut of Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller Psycho. Leonard Nimoy can only land odd jobs if the work is sci-fi or Star Trek related. Even now, Daniel Radcliffe can only ever be Harry Potter on the big screen. There are, however, many actors, allegedly with decent range, who consciously decide to perform the same roles over and over again. After the jump are 15 one-trick ponies who, for better or worse, are forever trapped in the same part by choice.

Nicky Whelan is relatively unknown in America but not to avid COED readers. Nicky was our Miss COED in July 2008, and has been a superstar model Down Under since 2001. Since then we ranked her #46 on our list of 52 Best Breasts of All-Time and most recently named her one of the 27 Sexiest Australian Women. She’s also in the upcoming Farrelly Brothers comedy “Hall Pass” starring Jason Sudeikis and Owen Wilson. I got the chance to see an advance screening last night and I gotta say she looks ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE in every scene, but her best effort comes when she strips for Wilson’s character. The movie was laugh your face off funny and Nicky’s strip scene alone makes it work checking out. See her pics after the jump!

Last weekend Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader took the crown at the box office pulling in $24 mil while the combined firepower of A-listers Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie couldn’t push The Tourist to crack $20 mil. Meanwhile The Fighter pulled in close to a $75,000 per screen average from 4 engagements. Black Swan is like the Black Hole of cinema, expanding rapidly. This week’s entries include an aging love triangle, a talking, stealing bear, platonic parents, and the return of Tron!

As Thanksgiving Day approaches, we anticipate the festive meal with our loved ones in which we give thanks. Some have no trouble looking forward to a day filled with loved ones and joy. Then there are those who know there in for a roller coaster, whether it’s an Uncle who is way too loud or a cousin who nobody looks forward to seeing. A look at some movies which display amusing happenings at the dinner table.

Enough boyfriends were either persuasive enough to convince their girlfriends that Date Night wasn’t worth the price tag or there aren’t enough couples out there, because Clash of the Tighty Whities managed to just beat out Date Night at the B.O. Speaking of body odor, this post reeks of puns, quips, and oh-snaps about funerals, graffiti, les… Click to read more
