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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Its heartbreaking but eye opening to see that Heath Ledgers ultimate role to fame is the one he never sees through. The ultimate price to pay for perfection and fame isnt worth it. Heath was an amazing actor lost way too soon

Heath Ledgers 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

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.

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.

Great list. I would have added Andrew Garfields role in Silence. What he put himself through to play Rodrigues was insane but paid off beautifully. Truly one of his most powerful roles.

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.

I have so much respect for these actors. I appreciate to no end, the sacrifices they have made for their craft, and wish it didnt come at the expense of their mental health.

Never the same after watching American Horror Story's Coven-the part where your worst nightmare is your hell-scariest thing I ever watched, and that's saying something.

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.

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.

Bill Skarsgard seems like a very pleasant fellow in real life. Yet, he was able to completely transform himself into the incredibly creepy Pennywise.

You will never convince me that Stanley Kubrick wasnt a monster himself for what he did to Shelly Duvall.
