>Shia LaBeouf converted to Christianity after playing one in the movie Fury >Heath Ledger went off the deep end when portraying the Joker >Val Kilmer got so deep into his role as Jim Morrison that he needed therapy to bring him back to normal after filming
Any other actors significantly affected or changed by a particular role/performance?
When will the "Joker killed Heath Ledger" meme die?

pretty sure Liam Neeson was super depressed after schindlers list and chose light hearted roles like Star wars to lighten his mood. his wife also died around the time but i know schindlers list really shook him up.

most actors (and men in general) had fought in some type of war so they were much more hardened to suffering.
before Jamea Bond Sean Connery was a rough and tumble street kid who got into regular fights and lost his virginity at the age of 13, certainly a chad but one that lacked any sort of sophistication and refinement. Albert R. Broccoli the producer of all the Bond movies up until his death took Sean under his wing and schooles him in the finer points of gentlemanly behaviour. A large part of Sean Connerys on-screen persona as Bond is Sean Connery LARPing as Albert R. Broccoli.
>Heath Ledger went off the deep end when portraying the Joker no he didn't, that was all invented after the fact.

>In 1954, while he was filming Father Brown in Burgundy, Guinness, who was in costume as a Catholic priest, was mistaken for a real priest by a local child. Guinness was far from fluent in French, and the child apparently did not notice that Guinness did not understand him but took his hand and chattered while the two strolled; the child then waved and trotted off.[44] The confidence and affection the clerical attire appeared to inspire in the boy left a deep impression on the actor.[45] When their son was ill with polio at the age of 11, Guinness began visiting a church to pray.[46] A few years later in 1956, Guinness converted to the Roman Catholic Church.

Johnny Depp couldn't stop acting like Raoul Duke after Fear and Loathing and it kind of lead to his downfall
Samuel Kelly
it was more the born into a working class family in the great depression aspect that led Sean to have an unrefined pre-Bond life but kek at your joke.
Hudson Martinez
Why would schindlers list make you sad other than being used as jew propaganda
Lincoln Martin
