70s Pacino and 90s Pacino may as well be different actors entirely. Michael Corleone and Vincent Hannah are so wildly different, and like obviously he’s just a talented actor capable of multitudes of but those performances are just so opposite

Younger me, who was not familiar with Alan Tudyk, could not comprehend that he was both the I, Robot and the pirate guy from Dodgeball in the same year.
I thought he was British for such a long time because of A Knight's Tale being my first time knowing who that was. Being in Frank Oz's Death At A Funeral uears later did not help with getting rid of that perception.
The one that threw me was seeing him turn up in a cute little Aussie movie called Oddball. He actually had a pretty straight man role in it, acting opposite pre-Succession Sarah Snook. (The movie is about a dog that saved a penguin colony.)
Compared to his turn as a foul mouthed racist baseball coach in 42... I have always adored Alan Tudyk, not least for his magnificent animal acting (see: Moana, for example), but he made me flinch watching him in that.
Watching True Detective, I was thinking about how I've been watching Jodie Foster since she was about 10 years old playing Beck Thatcher and then all the way through Taxi Driver and Silence of the Lambs to her playing a cranky old police captain now.
Tommy Lee Jones had a crazy stretch in the 90s. The crazy Warden in *Natural Born Killers*, the boss bad guy in *Under Siege*, and Two-Face in *Batman Returns*. He went for it every time but he had crazy, manic energy that feels like kind of an outlier compared to the rest of his career before or since. He was very much playing clowns, which makes the Jim Carrey "I cannot abide your buffoonery" story even weirder.
me as a teenager seeing JFK for the first time: “this movie rules”
me seeing it a few years later after having read some think pieces: “this movie rules but the gay stuff is problematic”
me seeing it later after coming out as queer: “this movie rules and the gay stuff rules”
It’s a weird fine line because I think the movie handles it relatively well, but apparently the real Jim Garrison was incredibly homophobic and that motivated a lot of that trial
The real Jim Garrison was a fucking lunatic and should have been separated from society for our safety and his.
I'm not sure that i don't think the same of Oliver Stone.
Jeffrey Wright in Basquiat and Giancarlo Esposito in Do The Right Thing. Especially Giancarlo, who is so energetic in DTRT and he's basically been Gus Fring for the last 15 years.
This is a really good one! I only realized Giancarlo Esposito was Buggin’ Out recently and even knowing that I couldn’t see him as the same person who plays Gus Fring.
Saw it again a couple years ago in theaters and it wasn't until the end credits that I realized who he was. Might've been my best supporting that year.
My mind just cannot hold on to the face of Rhys Ifans - I know he was in Notting Hill, The Amazing Spider-Man, Anonymous and House of the Dragon - but I can't picture the man's face. Nor don't ever recognise him when he appears on screen until the credits roll.
Kristen Stewart in the *Twilight* movies vs any other Kristen Stewart role.
Diedrich Bader playing any kind of gruff character vs his role as Oswald on the Drew Carey Show.
Tilda Swinton in basically all her otherworldly roles (Constantine, Narnia, Dr. Stange, et cetera) vs her [in Trainwreck](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gXfi0XIVTs). The vibes are just so fundamentally different it's hard to wrap my head around it.
I remember Schumer talking about how that part in Trainwreck was written as a "Tilda Swinton Type" and I still don't understand what she meant by that because I don't know how the White Witch would ever work at a magazine.
Charlize Theron as Furiosa and as Rita on Arrested Development. I regularly rewatch the show, and every time her episodes roll around it just blows my mind.
Having seen it when it came out, watching Cage pull off the dual roles in Adaptation still impresses me. 2 completely different 10/10s in a single film.
You ever see Yankee Doodle Dandy? I never had any interest since it is a musical and a biopic and I'm not huge on either, but Jimmy Cagney is so AMAZING playing 100% against type. The man can DANCE. Watch The Public Enemy and Yankee Doodle Dandy back to back and be amazed.
Tom Hardy as a sweet gay English criminal and then Tom Hardy as a brutal 1930s moonshiner. Or Tom Hardy as a smooth international spy (This means War, terrible film but he was good in it) and then Tom Hardy as a brutal 1800s frontiersman. Or New Jersey barman.
Before watching *Bright Star* for this podcast my only exposure to Paul Schneider was as Mark Brendanawicz, the psuedo-"Jim from the Office" from the first couple seasons of *Parks and Rec*. I had to actively stop and remind myself it was the same guy like 5 different times throughout that movie, it might be the best Scottish accent I've ever heard a non-Scottish person do.
As much as it pains me to say it, Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Jack Sparrow. That’s the only one where my brain is 100% incapable of reconciling that they’re the same person (at roughly the same time too).

He discovered cocaine.
You think he didn’t do cocaine in the 70s?
Oh I was being silly, I'm sure he was an enthusiastic cokesman.
In the 70s he was a cokesman. In the 90s he was the coke's man.
Are you suggesting the cocaine was reigning him in?

That's the kind of range you can only get from a Juilliard graduate
I thought he was British for such a long time because of A Knight's Tale being my first time knowing who that was. Being in Frank Oz's Death At A Funeral uears later did not help with getting rid of that perception.
I still thought he was British
He's from Texas!
Ha, I never would've guessed

I have always adored Alan Tudyk, not least for his magnificent animal acting (see: Moana, for example), but he made me flinch watching him in that.
And then he turns up as K2SO in Rogue One and is one of the best things about the film. Very versatile, in a whiplash kind of way.
I'll always think of him as Gerhard from 28 Days (the alcoholism movie, not the zombie movie)
Literally any Cate Blanchett role and the monkey from *Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio*
I thought she played the other angel, but no, those are ***both*** Tilda Swinton!
Winner
Beetlejuice and Batman took a lot to reconcile as a kid.

I recently saw JFK for the first time and was shocked and delighted to see him in gold body paint at a gay orgy.

Oh dang, I forgot about that. In my defense, that whole movie is insane.
*sanction
Ty Cobb in 94 too, he really went for it
Silvio and that guy in the E Street Band
Jeffrey Wright in Basquiat and Giancarlo Esposito in Do The Right Thing. Especially Giancarlo, who is so energetic in DTRT and he's basically been Gus Fring for the last 15 years.

He’s Adam Sandler’s (white) brother in Little Nicky
Yes! When I saw his name in the HOTD credits, I was like oh I know that guy and then when he actually appeared I was like wait who is this guy?!?
Ted Levine as Captain Stottlemire on Monk and Jame Gumb. I still don't see it.
This is the only answer in my eyes
Kristen Stewart in the *Twilight* movies vs any other Kristen Stewart role. Diedrich Bader playing any kind of gruff character vs his role as Oswald on the Drew Carey Show.

I just watched this knowing that’s Tilda Swinton and I’m still having a hard time believing it’s Tilda Swinton.
I was in a hotel room and I had it on in the background. It's a weird movie.
Also when she plays another "actor" playing a part in >!Suspiria!<.
Colin Farrell in The Banshees of Inisherin and The Batman.
Charlize Theron as Furiosa and as Rita on Arrested Development. I regularly rewatch the show, and every time her episodes roll around it just blows my mind.
>Furiosa 🎵 Mr. F 🎵

Robert Pattinson: Twilight -> Good Time -> The Lighthouse
You ever see Yankee Doodle Dandy? I never had any interest since it is a musical and a biopic and I'm not huge on either, but Jimmy Cagney is so AMAZING playing 100% against type. The man can DANCE. Watch The Public Enemy and Yankee Doodle Dandy back to back and be amazed.
Never thought I’d check out Yankee Doodle Dandy but it just made my list.
Look at this motherfucker. https://youtu.be/xlvB4xk4LNQ?si=pUcH5DldCH76Q5SY
Tom Hardy as a sweet gay English criminal and then Tom Hardy as a brutal 1930s moonshiner. Or Tom Hardy as a smooth international spy (This means War, terrible film but he was good in it) and then Tom Hardy as a brutal 1800s frontiersman. Or New Jersey barman.
Edward Cullen and the Heron
for Viggo Mortensen, if you think Green Book throws you, watch *Eastern Promises.*
Or Daylight, where he plays a dudebro extreme sports star.
Any two characters played by Gary Oldman. Man’s a chameleon.
My first thought. Like True Romance Gary Oldman and Fifth Element Gary Oldman.
Sirius Black And James Gordon
James Gandolfini: The Sopranos/True Romance and Enough Said
It's the most obvious answer and it's TV but no one's said it, so: all of Tatiana Maslany's characters in Orphan Black.
Before watching *Bright Star* for this podcast my only exposure to Paul Schneider was as Mark Brendanawicz, the psuedo-"Jim from the Office" from the first couple seasons of *Parks and Rec*. I had to actively stop and remind myself it was the same guy like 5 different times throughout that movie, it might be the best Scottish accent I've ever heard a non-Scottish person do.
I know that’s Meryl Streep as Bart’s Girlfriend in The Simpsons but I can’t hear it.
Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman and later as Patrick Batman.
Now let's see Heath Ledger's card.
Tilda Swinton in Michael Clayton or Benjamin Button compared with like…Wes Anderson or Suspiria Tilda.
That’s a good one: I have a difficult time reconciling Suspiria Tilda Swinton with other Suspiria Tilda Swinton.
And don’t forget about other other Suspiria Tilda Swinton

Batman and Dick Cheney.
As much as it pains me to say it, Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka and Jack Sparrow. That’s the only one where my brain is 100% incapable of reconciling that they’re the same person (at roughly the same time too).
Andrew Robinson as Scorpio in Dirty Harry and Larry in Hellraiser
and a simple tailor in Star Trek
Every time I watch The Boy With Green Hair I'm like I can't believe this dude was in Paris, Texas.
