People post jokes, and then someone else shares it thinking it's real. At least that's what I think happens most of the time when faked stuff is presented as real
Eh, I try to own my own insecurities. I haven't seen the movie in ages so I was mostly going off of hairstyle and gang leader status over his face anyhow.
Is there a term for this? When an actor is playing someone who is essentially the same character no matter what movie it is in (even in different thematical universes)?
John Wayne played so many characters named "John" or "Duke." So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles where his character had at least one of those 2 names.
Don't forget that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
Nurse Hector
His work in Breaking Bad was stellar. I didn't recognize him as Hector Salamanca. Such good actor he is.
This image is fake.

He has played "Hector" in a number of different films and TV roles, so I don't know why this was faked.

Bruce Almighty? His most memorable role.
Same, but I was afraid to voice it in case I was wrong and opening myself up to some accusations 😅
Well this just might be worse than saying nothing at all. What did you do?
I mean, if you mistake a person of a different race from you as someone else of that race, there's always going to be some eye narrowing.
I wasn't thinking this at all and I don't think anyone else would have had you not preemptively pointed it out

The Hector cinematic universe.
You can't convince me those are not in the same cinematic universe
Whats your name?

It’s called getting type cast.
This is one level beyond type casting though, unless Hector is a well established role.
Getting Hector Cast
John Wayne played so many characters named "John" or "Duke." So many that I just tried to count how many roles and I lost track. I counted twice and got two different numbers, but I believe my final tally is 39 roles where his character had at least one of those 2 names.
EDIT: Final tally:
36 - "John" or "Johnny"
3 - "J" first initial, no full name given
5 - "Duke"
And of course his most iconic role of John "JD" Duke!
/s
Considering how many military roles he had, I'm going with Lt. Col. J.B. "Johnny the Duke" Thomas
I would argue that “a Hector” is a recognizable Hispanic trope in a similar fashion to how “a Karen” is an American one.
Ok Hector!
"type cast" is the casual phrase
in technical acting terms it's usually referred to as "playing close to self"
It's called "getting Munched".
What? That would be like saying Chris Hemsworth got “Thor’d” because that’s all he played in the MCU.
Belzer played way more than just Munch.
Sooooo many of these Hectors are correct, but some of them are not.
That guy is Noel Gugliemi, and he played "Gang Leader" on The Animal, not Hector.
Price of Glory had a Hector, but that was played by Sal Lopez! Totally different looking dude!
He was a lot of Hectors but not quite that many.
He should still legally change his name to Hector.
He's one of my favourite Hector.
Who's your favorite Hectress, though?
Mutliverse confirmed.
Ok but now he needs to be in an adaptation of the Iliad
But playing Achilles.
Playing everyone but the Trojan champion.
Don't forget that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that he just came into Harry's and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
Jim Beaver plays Bobby Singer in everything too.
wasnt this motherfucker also Hector in Veronica Mars?
That was Patrick Wolff. This is Noel Gugliemi.
Aka Mr. "Shit pushed in." And yeah, that's Tuco Salamanca in there, too.
I searched for "Hector' in the imdb app, he shows up as a result after 5 other people named Hector.
I'm honestly convinced he's just really bad at remembering character names so everyone just renames his character Hector
