Actors who play the same role usually stick to it.
However some decided to go a different route.
Here are some of them.
Adam Sandler
He rose to stardom in the late 90s for his slapstick humor in Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison.
He continued acting in comedy over the years and was nominated for multiple Razzies.
That all changed in 2019 when he starred in the crime drama Uncut Gems, displaying his dramatic chops.
Daniel Radcliffe
He is most known as Harry Potter, who portrayed the character in 8 movies.
It seemed almost impossible for everyone involved to move on from the franchise, but that was not the case with Daniel.
He often played strange roles in The Woman in Black and in Swiss Army Man.
Dave Bautista
A former wrestler, Bautista followed a similar path to Dwayne Johnson and John Cena.
He became a household name in 2014 for playing Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Afterwards he starred in small roles in the sci-fi epics Dune and Blade Runner 2049.
This year he starred in the horror movie Knock at the Cabin, and was considered a career best.
Bryan Cranston
Like Adam Sandler, Bryan Cranston began his career in comedy with the sitcom Malcolm in the Middle playing a father role.
Bryan also played a father on Breaking Bad in 2008, where he transformed himself.
His role as the drug dealer Walter White won him multiple awards including an Emmy and a Golden Globe.
Robert Pattinson
Robert was first involved in the Harry Potter universe with Cedric Diggory in the Goblet of Fire.
A few years later, he landed the role of vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movies.
The actor then starred in independent movies like The Lighthouse where his career completely changed for the better.
He was also the latest actor to portray Batman last year where he was widely praised despite the controversy at first.
Hugh Grant
The British actor became a rom-com star in the early 2000s in movies like Notting Hill and Love Actually.
In recent years, the actor’s versatility has seen a resurgence in his career.
To name a few, he voice-acted in Paddington 2, and starred in the crime movie The Gentlemen.
This year he also played a major role in the fantasy flick Dungeons and Dragons.
