Many actors are afraid to be associated with just one character. But even a great movie script and ingenious makeup are helpless if an actor or actress doesn’t have enough talent and charisma to portray different characters on screen.

At Bright Side, we believe that the heroes of our article can be considered gurus of transformation. It was quite difficult for us to choose just 3 of their roles. If you can recall other movies these talented actors took part in, mention them in the comments.
