Scottish star Robert Carlyle is baffled he's always cast as a dangerous movie
villain, insisting he's a mild-mannered family man in real life.
The actor - best known for portraying psychopathic character Begbie in the
1996 drama Trainspotting - is no stranger to playing big screen bad guys, but
fears forever being typecast in reprehensible roles.
He says, "I wonder what it is that makes producers and directors look at this
little innocent Glaswegian face of mine and think, 'Carlyle can look like a
total s**t so convincingly.
"Let's give him the role of the villainous killer with the nasty twist in his
character'."
The 46-year-old played the villainous Renard opposite Pierce Brosnan in 1999
James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, as well as a cannibalistic soldier in
Ravenous in the same year. Carlyle has also took on the role of Nazi dictator
Adolf Hitler in the 2003 TV mini-series Hitler: The Rise Of Evil.
