15 Actors Who Transformed Into Different Characters on the Same Show and Impressed Us All
Some actors are so good, that playing just one role in one movie isn’t enough. For example, in The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy played not only Sherman Klump, the main character, but he also played his mom, dad, grandmother, and a couple more relatives, which makes 7 different roles in total. Or Cate Blanchett, who portrayed 13 various characters in the movie, Manifesto. It’s amazing, but these are not the only surprising examples of “chameleon” actors who brilliantly transformed into multiple characters in the same movie or TV show.
