Famous actors who played the role of cartoon characters (12 photos)

Famous actors often become cartoon characters. Take, for example, the animated series “The Adventures of Jackie Chan,” which was a real hit. But translating cartoon characters into movies with live actors is a completely different story. In this case, the task becomes much more complicated. And one of the most difficult missions is, of course, casting actors. Some people manage to convey a cartoon image and refine it, and sometimes... failure occurs. It's not an easy thing to play a cartoon!
