The short version of the Unix philosophy is basically, “Do one thing, and do it well”.
Michelle Rodriguez basically plays the same basic character in every movie: tough girl / tomboy who doesn’t take crap from anyone, usually wears a tank top, and dies about as often as Sean Bean.
And it’s not a bad thing.
While I haven’t seen every film she’s done, I have seen a lot of them, and she gives a stellar performance every time.
So she may play the “same character” over and over, but she does it very well.
Yeah, it is. But I think MR is probably one of the most typecast actors out there. I read a while back that she is well aware of that and even supports it.
Edit: Not the article I was looking for, but has the same gist in a different interview:

Same with Noel Gugliemi
Had to look him up, definitely one of those “oh that guy!” actors.
