It is like seeing an actor in one tv series only how can you judge just how good they really are? Maybe they are just good at playing that one character.That is why I a saying that so far Orlando has only played four of these characters. He has also played a "rent Boy", "American soldier", "boxer"  and an "Australian outlaw" I have not seen Haven so I nonot know what kind of character he plays. If all his movies were sword flicks and none of them sequels then yes I could see the cry of typecasting. Harrison Ford is an execellent excellent example after doing Indy so close after Star Wars there was talk that he was typecasting himself as an action adventure hero and that it would kill his career. It didn't. Orlando Bloom is a young actor just starting his career. Who knows what he will be doing 20 years from now. There are other actors who had careers before LOTR Sean Bean for example has an impressive amount of work under his belt  the Sharpe series for example. The same for Viggo and John Rhys Davies.</blockquote>
