He wasn't always cast as a monster. On House of Frankenstein he played a scientist. An evil one, sure, but Glen Strange played Frankenstein's monster in that movie.

Karloff's big break came from playing the monster in the 1931 Frankenstein, and since he was famous for his role in a Horror movie he continued to be cast in horror movies.
