Its a given you are likely to almost always get a role that matches your “type”…or is it? Here is a list of actors who really went above and beyond to turn into their character. Some of these actors were also rewarded with acclamation and wonderful critics (even awards) because of the amount of hard work put into the transformation. Hours of make-up, 60 pound wardrobes, un-healthy dieting or weight gain…its all part of a days work for many of us. As actors its very important to know how much you are willing to do, or give to turn into the character. Would you shave your luscious mane? Would you lose the muscles to play a nerd? Or does it really all boil down to the zeros on your check?
And even though as actors we all love to “play dress up” and immerse ourselves in another characters mind, I must say, its important to always give a genuine and great performance. Some of these names or characters were memorable…but some were sheer brilliant! THATS WHAT YOU AIM FOR!
Here are a few examples, for a complete list…(Click Here).
