  It’s called getting type cast.

    This is one level beyond type casting though, unless Hector is a well established role.

      John Wayne played so many characters named “John” “Wayne” 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.

        And of course his most iconic role of John “JD” Duke!

      I would argue that “a Hector” is a recognizable Hispanic trope in a similar fashion to how “a Karen” is an American one.

  “type cast” is the casual phrase

  in technical acting terms it’s usually referred to as “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.
