Since the beginning of the entertainment business, we have been blessed with abundant films and television programs. Many of us have grown to love such sophisticated people even though they only exist (or have already passed away) in a fictional setting. Connecting with characters who we have only read about in novels and imagined in our minds is one thing, but when those characters come to life on screen, it’s quite another.
Because we can always tell if an actor isn’t into their character at all, movies occasionally fail to please our thoughts with what they are portraying to us. Whether or not the plot was adapted from a novel, it is always clear when a performer is not a good fit for the part of the character they are portraying. This isn’t always a problem with the actor’s abilities because occasionally, certain elements don’t make sense or go together at all. On the other hand, when it comes to perfectly capturing the personality, charm, and appearance of a character, we can also tell if someone was born for a role. Can you think of another actor playing a certain movie character that was superbly performed by one actor?
Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man is a perfect example of a person who completely nailed their acting job as a particular character that man is essentially Tony Stark in real life!
