Dean Wormer's death got me thinking about Jeremey Piven's contribution to movie history.
He played both the rebellious student fighting against the evil and repressive dean (PCU), and the evil and repressive dean (Old School).
Has any other actor in movie history pulled off an historic stereotype doulbe like that? It would be like Roger Moore playing a Bond villian, or Michael Keaton getting cast as a villian in the new Batman movie.
The only person I can possibly think of is Charlton Heston, for his cameo in Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes remake, but I don't think that counts since it's not really playing both sides of a stereotypical movie dichotomy.
Can you guys think of any other examples of this kind of double?
