The skill that matters most in an actor's career is certainly that of knowing how to fall perfectly into the character he has to interpret.
However, even if they have such a prodigious talent, the actors sometimes have to impersonate characters for which the use of make-up or even prostheses is essential.
This type of artifice can literally turn an actor into something or someone else (monsters, robots, historical figures, etc.). Here are some natural faces of actors as compared to the faces of the characters they have played.
