Some actors have to torture themselves to get into character. For Marathon Man, Dustin Hoffman stayed up all night for two days just so he could look tired enough for a certain scene. All of the principal actors in Saving Private Ryan except for Matt Damon went through six days of Army training, so they would resent Damon on screen. We won't even tell you what Ned Beatty, Jon Voight and Burt Reynolds had to go through to prepare for Deliverance. However, for some actors it' a little easier to prepare for a role because, well, they're basically playing themselves. Here's six actors who were in character long before they actually got the roles. R. Lee Ermey as Sgt. Hartman
in Full Metal Jacket
The Role: A loud, terrifying, tough-as-nails drill instructor.
You remember Lewis Gosset Jr.' badass drill sergeant from An Officer and a Gentleman? Well R. Lee Ermey was the guy who coached Gossett Jr. on the role. Stanley Kubrick then hired Ermey, a retired drill instructor himself, to do the same thing with Full Metal Jacket. After hearing Ermey spew a sphincter-clinching string of obscenities in rehearsal, Kubrick decided to hire him to play the role instead.
The result was Sgt. Hartman, a thundering insult machine that could destroy a man' will with the sheer force of his words, most of which involved accusations of sodomy. Hartman could mold a man' soul into Silly Putty, pick it up, flatten it out with his bare hands and use it to copy "Marmaduke." R. Lee Ermey is Sgt. Hartman, always will be, and God help the man who disagrees. Or not, because God's afraid of him, too. John Belushi as Robert "Bluto" Blutarsky
in National Lampoon's Animal House
The Role: A raucous, hard-partying slob.
Why this wasn't a stretch:
There's a reason every fraternity in America has that poster of Belushi in his "College" sweatshirt, chugging a bottle of Jack Daniels. He was the patron saint of college partiers. Unfortunately, Belushi' own real-life tragic end served as a reminder to a generation of frat guys: that shit you were doing at 22 isn't so funny at age 33. Courtney Love as Althea Leasure Flynt
in The People vs. Larry Flynt
The Role: A drugged-up, foul-mouthed skank.
Why this wasn't a stretch:
So why was Love tapped to play Althea, the wife of human porn factory Larry Flynt? Well, Althea grew up an orphan, then became a stripper, then picked up a crippling drug habit, then got married to a prominent figure in the industry ... see a pattern here? Althea had porn (she co-published Hustler) instead of ... whatever Courtney Love has. But otherwise, if the dates had worked out right, we'd have thought Courtney Love was Althea' reincarnated soul. Michael Chiklis as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing
in Fantastic Four
The Role: A sensible everyman turned hulking monster.
Why this wasn't a stretch:
In Fantastic Four, The Thing started out as pilot Ben Grimm, who was deformed by an accidental exposure to cosmic rays. After struggling with his grotesque appearance, he remade himself as a crime fighter.
To get into character for Fantastic Four, Chiklis needed only to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror. Or, walk down the street and listen to the screams of terrified children. A Wilson volleyball as Wilson the Volleyball in Cast Away
The Role: A Wilson volleyball.
Why this wasn't a stretch: It was already a Wilson volleyball. The roles: A psychotic cop and a psychotic hit man.
Why this wasn't a stretch:
Well, it turned out it wasn't an act. Look at their eyes up there. Each piercing us with a chilling stare that gazes into a world only they can see. And, when we turn off the cameras...
Same thing. Both men' budding cases of mental illness bloomed fully over the next two decades, in ways that have been alternately entertaining and terrifying. Mel has been helped along by his rampant alcoholism, Busey by a traumatic motorcycle accident. Who' crazier now? We think Busey makes a pretty good case:
And while Mel ranted against the Jews during his drunk driving arrest, Busey went all-out and starred in Valley of the Wolves: Iraq, a Turkish movie about a Jewish conspiracy to steal human organs. Who' going to be the first to snap and take hostages? We're betting Busey. And in a twist of grotesque irony, it'll somehow be up to Mel Gibson to stop him. |

I think the movie was made after this article was written, but I feel the need to mention Paris Hilton in Repo! The Genetic Opera. Her role: A slutty, rich, spoiled, stupid, heiress. I'm not even kidding, watch the movie and judge for yourself.
It's weird how they took that picture after they turned off the cameras.
Hey! Say what you will about mel gibson, but the man knows story structure.
courtney love also auditioned for the role of nancy in "sid and nancy" but didn't get the part. instead, she got the part of some other heroin strung out s***k.
it would have been funny if her character had killed sid, instead of an overdose.
i'm thinking that when Busey snaps and takes hostages Mel Gibson is less likely to stop him and more likely to write, produce, direct, and star in a film adaptation of Busey's breakdown that ultimately winds up being even bat-s**t crazier and a lot less entertaining than the event it's based on.
Jack Nicholson in The Shining; where is the surprise when Crazy Jack becomes Crazy Johnny?
No mention of Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro, or Al Pacino??
You forgot Adam Sandler.
Michael Chiklis also played John Belushi in the Bob Woodward biopic WIRED. Critics called it a career killer then. Should have been.

I LOVE Repo! The Genetic Opera and having paris hilton was only ok because she totally was playing herself. i hate to say anything good about her, but at times it seemed she was totally aware that playing a spoiled rich annoying s***k with substance abuse issues who wants to be a singer (seriously) was more of a memoir than fiction. it actually is pretty funny when she starts throwing her tantrums and her voice kind of cracks and goes extra nasally. but really, the best part (SPOILER ALERT, but only because it will encourage you to see the movie): her face f*****g flies off while she tries to sing! yeah, see the movie, the whole thing is amazing but really, it could have sucked and still been awesome just to see that scene.
