Do actors who play evil roles become evil IRL? - lemm.ee

If you play an evil character, it’s gotta stick a little. And if you’re a character-actor who always gets the evil role. If you play 100 evil guys. Then 100X moreso. You get into the evil role. See the world through evil eyes and evil motivations. And over time, It’s gotta bend your personality towards real evilness. Right? I suppose you could google evil-character-actors. 20 years later, how many got arrested for something heinous. What do you think?

Personally I'd say no.

For what it's worth I been DMing campaigns for 20+ years playing evil characters and monsters. You have to get pretty elaborate and good at planning "evil" things. I put evil in quotes because it's acting, you aren't evil you are playing a role.
