Editing Typecasting (section)

===Historical-real characters===
Soviet actor [[Mikheil Gelovani]] depicted [[Joseph Stalin]] in 12 films made during the leader's lifetime, which reflected his [[cult of personality]]. Among them were ''[[The Great Dawn]]'' (1938), ''[[Lenin in 1918]]'' (1939), ''[[The Vow (1946 film)|The Vow]]'' (1946), ''[[The Fall of Berlin (film)|The Fall of Berlin]]'' (1950) and ''[[The Unforgettable Year 1919 (film)|The Unforgettable Year 1919]]'' (1952). These films were either banned or had the scenes featuring Stalin removed after the 1956 [[Secret Speech]]. Following Stalin's death, Gelovani was denied new roles since he was so closely identified with Stalin.<ref>{{cite journal |journal=Soviet Film|date=September 1989|volume=9|pages=16–17|title=Mikhail Gelovani: One-Role Actor|author= A.

[[Vaughn Meader]] is another example, as he depicted President [[John F. Kennedy]] in the 1962 comedy record ''[[The First Family (album)|The First Family]]''. Meader's career success came to an abrupt end after President Kennedy's [[Assassination of John F. Kennedy|assassination]] on November 22, 1963. Meader's TV and nightclub bookings were all canceled. His career never rebounded as he was too closely associated with President Kennedy and his attempts to criticize his typecasting also led to his [[Hollywood blacklist|indirect blacklisting]].<ref>[http://mentalfloss.com/article/66030/surprising-story-famed-jfk-impersonator-vaughn-meader-and-why-youve-never-heard-him The Surprising Story of Famed JFK Impersonator Vaughn Meader (and Why You've Never Heard of Him)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170515200915/http://mentalfloss.com/article/66030/surprising-story-famed-jfk-impersonator-vaughn-meader-and-why-youve-never-heard-him |date=May 15, 2017 }} Mental Floss.
