@@wills830 Exactly. And while I know there are probably a few other directors that may have also crossed that line into abuse (while onset and filming that is. Cause we know Weinstein kept his SA in whatever private room he was using at the time), Hitchcock and Kubrick are definitely the two most well known.

I agree. I think that he chose her just to abuse her. Hitchcock terrorized Tippi Hedren well after the movie was over. He was obsessed with her.

Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker was so perfect that it was something we will never see again. He was the perfect man to be Joker and I wish we got to see more of him in future Batman movies. RIP Heath ❤

Bill's performance is excellent that I refuse to watch the movie unless its Tim Curry playing Pennywise. Clowns don't normally scare me but that Bill's Pennywise scares me. When the movie came out I honestly had nightmares.

That little girl from the grinch is now all grown up and the lead singer of an awesome band called the pretty reckless!! She’s stunning too! 😍🫢

You are absolutely correct. If only there was some way that these actors could be vastly overcompensated for their dedication to their artform. i guess until this is a fair and just world, the only real reason to become a celebrity is the chance to voice your political opinion to a larger group of people.

Austin Butler in Elvis

The whipping scene in "Twelve Years a Slave" is the one that really got to me. I know that you cannot really know how you would react to something that you didn't experience but for me, I think only two things would really affect me. One is playing the victim in an intense story that really happened, such as Adrian Brody's rile in "The Pianist", or as a slave. I don't think I would eve take any horror film seriously. The other is playing the victimizer having to be really mean to a woman or a child. Even knowing it was all fiction, I think that would be impossible for me.

Bruno Ganz played Hitler in Downfall. That could not have been without a price.

when i read the video title, Heath Ledger popped into my mind just like that. I knew he would be number one. that role really did a number on him. RIP Heath. You are missed.

It’s heartbreaking but eye opening to see that Heath Ledger’s ultimate role to fame is the one he never sees through. The ultimate price to pay for perfection and fame isn’t worth it. Heath was an amazing actor lost way too soon 😩

Several roles on here are not what I was expecting, particularly Jim Carrey and Bob Hoskins. But then, I'm not acting in any of these roles so I can't imagine how the circumstances may affect an individual. I am now curious as to how the actress in the original Suspiria, Jessica Harper, handled the role. Shelley Duval's miserable experience is well-documented; it basically ruined her career. Sadly, I was expecting Heath Ledger to be number one. His situation was tragic, and I mostly blame his doctors for over prescribing those sedatives without properly examining the reasons for his severe insomnia.

I had just finished watching The Pianist and given that it had won Adrien an Oscar, but hearing that sold his apartment and car and losing weight…I understand actors are just doing their job but poor Adrien

You forgot Vivian Lee (Scarlett O'Hara; Gone With the Wind). She was put in an asylum bc she was convinced she WAS Scarlett. I feel she's right up there with Heath Ledger.

And also Austin Butler in Elvis as he apparently had the voice of Elvis Presley still in his vocal cords after he was hospitalised shortly after the film wrapped filming.

Surely Christian Bale must be up there for some of the roles he’s had, e.g., The Machinist

Scott Glenn in Silence of the Lambs. Granted it was more related rather than actually part of the filming, but when he'd told the FBI man coaching him (who his character was based off of) how fascinating it was and thanked him for allowed him to experience it, and the FBI guy said "if you want to get the real experience, you can listen to this tape we received of the murder of two teenage girls" and Scott agreed, which was a mistake, as he only heard one minute or possible less and he has never been the same since. There's also one with Werner Herzog of a similar type of thing, I think it was that film he made about the guy who was eaten by a bear, he heard the real actual final footage and he said that no one should ever have to hear that, and it's definitely changed his entire outlook on..........a lot. So that tells me you definitely do not want to listen to that kidn of stuff for a role! Whew.

Ian McKellan was reportedly depressed after spending a couple of months talking to a ping pong ball instead of real actors while filming his initial scenes in the Lord of the Rings. However, it sounds like many of these actors went through much worse!

Johnson was AWESOME as Susie!

I often wondered if Adrian Brody was able to bounce back from The Pianist. Now, I know.

As a wee girl when I saw The Exorcist, Food of the Gods, The Omen (all of them), Burnt Offerings, Apocalypse Now, Piranha, and Poltergeist. I have my bed completely blocked off underneath, I used to have a clear shower curtain and the Exorcist still gets me every single time!! Maybe it’s because I’m Roman Catholic. What got me the most was towards the end when the priest threw himself out the window and down the stairs. Now I am going to have nightmares about these movies I have fought for years to forget!! Cheers Ms. Mojo 😣😳

I never thought Bill Skarsgard would be in this list

You missed Aleksey Kravchenko in Come and See and Maria Schneider in Last Tango in Paris.

Possession (1981) ist brilliant. When you see it, you realize how many movies were influenced by it.

I feel so bad for these actors the extremes and lengths that they went through for these roles in movies has got to be extremely overwhelming for them and I’m sure it took a toll on their mental health and it just goes to show some actors are really dedicated to their craft it’s just sad that some of them never fully recovered from the emotional 🥹 and mental scars it took on them and some died because of it I’m just glad that at least some of them got help it’s just so tragic

Bill Skarsgard was amazing as IT but I think that role would break any actor

Awesome again

I guess you could say Hollywood changes people. Happy thursday, Phoebe, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well.

Ryan Gosling is just Ken now

I love How the Grinch Stole Christmas but I can understand how Jim reacted during the make-up days bts. Thank goodness they got someone to help him out because imagine anyone else playing the Grinch.

Once you go act, you don’t go back. How’s that?

What about Maria Schneider's rape scene in Last Tango in Paris. Reportedly, she was not told about the scene in advance. It had to have had a powerful impact on her.

Movies and roles come and go but Jim Caviezel has the blessing and grace of God on him. That's no mere role, that's no mere movie. He could have chosen to do hundreds of other things that others do but he's not in movies for that. Love and prayers for Jim Caviezel and Mel Gibson for what they gave to the world ❤

Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn

Yeah I could understand jim Carey lol

Linda Blair in the Exorcist had issues after that movie apparently.

Number 6 was my favorite movie Adrien was a great Actor on that films

Leonardo DeCaprio in The Revnant. That movie changed him.

She said drug overdose as if it was an intentional recreational one and not an unintentional prescription one

Austin Butler - Elvis Leonardo DiCaprio - The Revenant

Brie Larson - "Room" (2015)

I think certain people are attracted to certain jobs. Police, nurses, teachers, scientists. The same for actors. Not everyone can act and perhaps all roles leave a little shadow on every actor.

Björk - Dancer in the dark

Tatum ONeil won at age 9, for Paper Moon with her father, Ryan...

Some of these intense roles can be very emotionally taxing. I've even seen it on a High School level. A young man who played Judus in Jesus Christ Superstar, was not the same upbeat self as before for some time. Especially seeing as we do the Broadway versions of for our shows.

Adrien Brody is awesome as Pat Riley in the recent series, Winning Time.

Shelley Duvall makes me so sad. 😞

I don't know how some can change their life and self being for a role. Like Brody, others would love life like always but he becomes the person. To much.

The only movies I like and seen on this are, who framed Rodger rabbit, The Passion of the Christ and The pianist, they were all great movies

The movie Jaws made me unable to swim in any large body of water. I wouldn’t go swimming for many,many years.

Based on the title, not the explanation: Vic Morrow in Twilight Zone

To be accurate we have loads of evidence of Heath Ledger having a drug problem and stryggling with things in his life mentally and emotionally before Dark Knight, yet we act like that movie caused it all. Sure, it may not have helped, but it certainly didn’t have the near sole role to play that people like to claim (usually just repeating a video or sonething without doing much research at all)

I agree. We’ve been listening to this bullshit now for 15 years, it’s never been confirmed, it probably never will be, and people seeing the film for the first time under the belief that his death had anything to do with his role as the Joker are grabbing at straws. They’ve made a GOOD performance into the most overrated performance by an actor ever. If he hadn’t died, he wouldn’t have won the Oscar.

If you are only going to include one Hitchcock actress make it Tippi Hedren. She was unknowingly attacked by real birds not the fakes expected allegedly because she refused to sleep with Hitchcock. Like the Duvall/Kubrick situation it is notorious.

I thought it was Tim Curry who played It.
