Heroes with split personalities who were played by the same actor (12 photos)
Films about characters suffering from multiple personality disorder are extremely interesting from the point of view of the intriguing complexity of the plot, the artistic techniques used, the atmosphere and the acting. The last point is especially difficult to fulfill - certainly in those films where all the characters' personalities are played by the same performer.
We have prepared a selection of just such films for you. Therefore, today we will do without “Fight Club”, “Secret Window” and “Identity” to look at those who do not want to share their multiple personalities with other people’s bodies.
Beware! There will be spoilers in the post!
