  • The fact that this is No Stupid Questions and you are getting downvoted for your question is absurd.

    I think the easy answer is- no, of course not. Acting is just pretending. And not even pretending alone, pretending in front of hundreds of people, lights, cameras etc… so I would think it would be very easy to differentiate between the character you are acting like and your actual self.

    Maybe a little more nuanced answer- it might depend on the actor and the method. Look at Heath Ledger. His legendary portrayal of the Joker didn’t “turn him a little evil”, but it certainly fucked with his head.
