One of the main strengths of a theater actor is the ability to transform both externally and internally in character. The audience likes to contemplate the hero of the story, not the person playing him. However, this is a little more complicated for film actors, as their appearance and personality are much more known to the public than stage actors.
We, from incredible.club, we selected 12 film actors and actresses who deserved an award for their ability to masterfully embody such different characters. And in the end, one bonus awaits you: an artist who certainly deserved first place for his unimaginable transformations. Check out!
1. Tim Curry
Who doesn’t remember the waiter from the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York๐ง๐ท He constantly poked his nose into other people’s affairs and hinted all the time that it was time to tip. This is one of Tim Curry’s most famous roles; but he is far from the brightest.
He was responsible for bringing the evil clown Pennywise to life in the first film adaptation of It โ A Masterpiece of Fear๐ง๐ท And back in the 1970s, Tim starred in the extravagant musical The Rocky Horror Picture Showin which he played a mad scientist.
2. Stanley Tucci
Sometimes it seems that the magnificent Stanley Tucci can play any character. Just compare the three roles in the images above: the art director addicted to his The devil Wears Pradathe eccentric presenter in Hunger Gamesand the criminal in the drama in A Look from Paradise๐ง๐ท
For your role in A Look from ParadiseTucci was even nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category for the way he managed to convey the personality of a mentally unstable person.
3. Rose McGowan
The role as Paige Matthews in young witches made Rose McGowan world famous. Soon, many began to associate the actress with the image of this character, but Rose proved that she could be much more than that. The best example of the actress’s versatility are her performances as Marique in Conan the Barbarian and like Pam in Death Proofby Quentin Tarantino.
4. James McAvoy
5. Antonio Banderas
After your role in The Ballad of the Gunslinger, the actor turned out to be exclusively associated with the stereotype of his Spanish nationality. But Antonio Banderas has never been afraid to exceed audience expectations and has played many unexpected characters. For example, when he incarnated an immortal creature in Interview with the Vampire or a man tired of life in Agent of the Future๐ง๐ท
6. Maggie Smith
Because of her elegance, the actress is very successful playing the role of an aristocrat, as we saw in Downton Abbey๐ง๐ท But Maggie Smith’s talent goes much further. She managed to equally convincingly play the abbess of a convent in Change of habit and a grumpy homeless woman in The Lady of the Van๐ง๐ท
7. Colin Farrell
Anyone who has watched In the Boss’s Sight he can hardly separate Colin Farrell from the image of the depressed Ray. But the actor was never afraid to deviate from the norm in his performances. In alexanderColin personified the great leader of Macedon, already in Daredevil โ The Man Without Fearhe played a very charming villain named Bullseye.
8. Samuel L. Jackson
Samuel L. Jackson has been around so long that he has a separate Wikipedia page for his filmography. Therefore, we decided to recall three completely different roles of the actor: the evil genius in Glassthe quirky butler in Django Unchained and fearless Nick Fury in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
9. Jim Carrey
Jim Carrey manages to deliver a formidable performance in any role, be it comic or dramatic. In the movie Sonic: The Movie, he played the villain of the plot, but still managed to delight the audience. in the tragicomedy The Hustler of the Year, the actor very subtly showed the inner world of a man torn by spiritual contradictions. Already in the movie The Incredible Magician Burt WonderstoneJim Carrey gave life to a magician.
10. Sarah Paulson
In the recently released series Ratchedthe actress gives life to the same nurse who harassed patients in the film A stranger in the nest. In American Horror Story, Sarah has played several characters, each with a different story. But the artist is also successful in roles that run away from terror. In American Crime Storyshe convincingly impersonates a famous real-life lawyer.
11. Nick Stahl
12. Kathy Bates
Many people remember this talented actress for her role as the good-natured Margaret in Titanic or as the intense Annie in crazy obsession๐ง๐ท But few recognized Kathy Bates in American Horror Story, in which, in one of the seasons, her character even has a beard. We are sure that she will still surprise everyone with some more iconic character during her career.
Bonus: Makeover King Andy Serkis
