An Unbuilt Trope is where the Trope Codifier contains elements that its imitators did not — and actually reads like a deconstruction of the trope it would eventually be. The same thing can happen for acting, with regards to Typecasting. Let's take a look at Alice — a famous actress who is well and truly typecast as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. Everyone goes to see her movies to watch her liven up a brooding guy's life. Except what about her Star-Making Role? She's a Manic Pixie there — but she doesn't get the guy, she has baggage of her own, and the movie is about making her grow up. So she was Playing with Character Type before it even was her type. Note that this differs from Playing Against Type in that the role has to be a) an early performance from the actor and b) is still within their type — just with a lot of elements that make it seem like they're deconstructing or subverting the character they'd later be typecast as. |

The first such role she played in Fight Club is done for drama rather than comedy; Marla is a depressed alcoholic who goes to support groups because they're the only way she can feel anything. She's less a villain and more a tragic figure. | |

But the role that brought him to the A-list? Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - where it's shown that Peter Quill's immaturity stems from having to watch his mother die of cancer at a young age, get abducted and grow up in a semi-abusive lifestyle. The franchise itself deconstructs the toxic masculinity in his character - whereas his later roles in Jurassic World, The Magnificent Seven (2016) and Passengers (2016) just have him as the Manchild. | |

Another role made right after her breakout, Sunshine Cleaning, shows her as someone who's desperate to appear perfect and wholesome - when in reality she's sleeping with her (married!) high school boyfriend and can't accept her own flaws. | |

Blanche Dubois, meanwhile, is in denial of the fact that she's getting on in years and still tries to act like a charming young lady, despite the Sanity Slippage she's going through. Vivien was even cast because Elia Kazan's vision was Scarlett O'Hara losing her mind. | |

Enchanted has her playing a Disney Princess forced into New York. While she does work a lot of magic with her sunny attitude, she also has to learn that life is not idealized like a fairy tale and ends the story having found firmer ground. | |

Junebug has her as a Wide-Eyed Idealist who appears to be in flat-out denial about how disinterested her husband is, and her only hope is that the birth of their child will revive their marriage. She loses the baby. | |

Stop-Loss has him playing a soldier who, faced with the end of his term, re-enlists because he has no idea how to readjust to civilian life and feels that he's just Dumb Muscle and nothing else. | |

A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints shows that he's a meathead because he's grown up in an abusive household and has never been shown any love or kindness. He ends up going to prison for murder. | |
