16 Actors Who Decided To Venture Into Roles Different Than We’re Used To Seeing Them

Some actors are so good at playing a certain role that we just can’t imagine them playing other types of characters than that one. For example, in the audience’s memory, Andrew Scott will always be the treacherous Jim Moriarty of the series. Sherlock, Anthony Hopkins, a creepy-looking psychopath, and Elijah Wood, the hobbit tasked with bringing the One Ring to Mordor. But, of course, the actors are versatile, and sometimes they end up giving life to characters so different from what we are used to associating them with, that many end up with their jaws dropping.

O awesome.club compared photos of the most unexpected roles of 16 actors with the images of the characters in which we are used to seeing them, and realized that in some cases we can barely recognize the actor.
