Toshiro Mifune (although a very good actor) played the same role in more than a dozen Kurosawa films.I also think that Dennis Hopper has played the same "crazy, hippie psycho" in one too many films. Aside from "Hoosiers" where he played the "depressed, drunk, sad" father, he is the same person in every film.
Tom Hanks has done some decent films (granted, Castaway was crap) but he seems like the same character in most of his films. He plays himself in most films, although I did like him in Apollo 13.
One actor who showed a greater degree of range than people give him credit for is Lee Marvin. Anyone remember the film who won something for? It sure as hell wasn't the "Dirty Dozen".
Bruce Willis also plays the same role most of the time.

Follow Ups:
Dennis has certainly has played his good share of looney characters,
however, examination of his career shows he has played other
characters as well, e.g., Napoleon Bonaparte in The Story of Mankind-
1957; PI or Detective Niles Nails in Nails-1992; Detective in The
Spreading Ground-2000; a Captain in LAPD-2000, Dad of Christain
Slaterīs character in True Romance -1993or4, and so on. - AH
And don't leave out The River's Edge... sure, he was a little psycho in that, but not Frank Booth (Blue Velvet) crazy. More of a laid back and calm crazy... the scary crazy where you're really not sure what to expect.And True Romance... amazing role for him. That scene with Christopher Walken is one of the best scenes ever put on film...
and well-deserved.
