One of the main measures acting talent is the ability to transform. Because in order to play someone is not enough makeup, the actor should be able to get used to the necessary image. Literally become the one who needed the Director at the moment.
And many of the actors we like that kind of metamorphosis. Immediately think of sir Anthony Hopkins and his inimitable Hannibal Lecter. One of the most memorable images in film history, which does not prevent him to play many more roles in other projects. And who else can be called a master of disguise?

The worst thing for a talented actor is to become hostage to one role. It often happens that after an incredibly played the role of the other Directors refuse to take the actor to my project because it is too strongly associated with a certain character. Something similar is happening with johnny Depp will forever be captain Jack Sparrow, but at the same time we know and the dramatic side of his talent.
