You Know Who Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 i.e.., when the same actor plays two separate characters.Aside from Monty Python roles, the two best I can think of are Dick Van Dyke as both Bert and Mr. Dawes Sr. in Mary Poppins and Divine as both Edna Turnblad and Arvin Hodgepile in Hairspray.

Pan-dub Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Mike Myers as Austin Powers and Dr Evil in 'Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery'. Smashing send up of a genre with two very different characters. You could potentially talk about the other two films but the first is quite sufficient.

Gareth Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Jim Carrey's performance as Count Olaf / Dr. Stephano / Captain Sham in Lemony Snicket is probably my favorite of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Peter Sellers plays three roles in Dr. Strangelove and it's better than anything else.Meh.That is a tad dismissive - I mean, Dr Strangelove is a film I admire for its satire more than I actually enjoy it (albeit I've only watched the movie once), but Peter Sellers is amazing in it and it's pretty much the most famous example of an actor playing multiple roles in the same film.My answer? Mick Foley, Royal Rumble 1998. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
