===Other examples=== [[John Larroquette]] said that after winning [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series|four consecutive Emmy Awards]], "it was 10 years after ''[[Night Court]]'' ended before I got a role as a dad. Because [[Dan Fielding]] was such a bizarre character, he had made such an impression, that typecasting does happen. Every role was some sleazy lawyer or some sleazy this or some sleazy that."<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.avclub.com/articles/john-larroquette,2331/ | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091219164545/http://www.avclub.com/articles/john-larroquette,2331/ | url-status=dead | archive-date=December 19, 2009 | title=Random Roles: John Larroquette | work=[[The A.V.

Eleven years later, after starring in two more television series playing what ''The New York Times'' described as a "quiet, guarded leading man", McKenzie said that "if you are being stereotyped, that means you have something to stereotype.
