CARLYLE CONFUSED BY TYPECASTING

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.
