以下是因特定角色而改變一生的演員。

Jim Carrey

金凱瑞

To land the role of comedian Andy Kaufman in 1999's Man on the Moon, Jim Carrey reportedly cut his 20 million-dollar fee in half and wasn't too proud to audition for the part.

為了飾演 1999 年《月亮上的男人》中的喜劇大師安迪考夫曼，據說金凱瑞砍一半片酬屈尊試鏡。

He told the LA Times,

他告訴《洛杉磯時報》:

"I broke a couple of times on weekends and stuff, but pretty much from when I woke up to when I went to bed, the choices were all Kaufman's."

「我數度在周末崩潰，差不多從清醒到入睡，我還是考夫曼。」

Carrey's performance would forever change the way he looked at the world, and led to an existential crisis.

這次演出徹底改變他看世界的方式也讓他生活失序。

"When the movie was over, I couldn't remember who I was anymore. So you step through the door not knowing what's on the other side. And what's on the other side is everything."

「下戲後，我再也記不得自己是誰，就像你跨過一道門 (融入角色)，不知另一邊有什麼，沒想到這一切影響很深。」

The actor has continued to question the nature of reality and the meaning of celebrity.

他不斷質疑真實與名氣的意義。

Years later, he was interviewed at New York Fashion Week, and said,

幾年後他在紐約時尚周表示：

"There's no meaning to any of this, so I wanted to find the most meaningless thing that I could come to and join and here I am."

「任何這些都沒意義，我要找最沒意義的事來看看，所以我來了。」
