There are some actors that have done a lot to break typecasting. For example, comedians Robin Williams and Jim Carrey had their moments as serious actors. Other people have gone overboard in breaking their typecast, like Elizabeth Hurley.
It's not impossible to stretch outside your usual typecast. Perfect movies to do this are independent films, where you won't get paid as much, but you can really get a meaty role that redefines and stretches your capabilities. I think Hayden Christianson, and Daniel Radcliffe could get other roles. I could see either Radcliffe or Watson from HP fame being in a serious drama. Something tells me that the HP movie commitments are too much right now. But only two more movies to go on that.
