Movie characters with split personalities who were played by the same actor or actress (11 photos)

Playing a character with a split personality is a big challenge for an actor. After all, he will have to take on the role of a madman, in whose mind a whole group of different people can live. The task is not easy, but it is an excellent test of the actor’s talent and versatility. Stories about such characters are always interesting and confusing. We probably won’t mention such obvious films on this topic as “Fight Club”, “Secret Window” and “Identity”, since they immediately come to mind. Let's look at other films in which characters with split personalities were played by the same actor or actress. By the way, what movie would you add to this list?

Jim Carrey as Charlie/Hank





From the film “Me, Myself and Irene” (2000).

By the way, here we can mention another film with Kerry - “The Mask” (1994).

Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates/his mother



Robert De Niro as David/Charlie

Halle Berry as Frankie/Alice
