In the grand theater of cinema, actors are primarily known by the iconic characters they portray. Before achieving fame, they aren't recognized by their names but by their characters. Take, for instance, the iconic roles of Kevin McCallister played by Macaulay Culkin in "Home Alone", or Robert Downey Jr.'s memorable portrayal of Tony Stark. These names are so intertwined that it's easy to confuse the actor with the character, to the point where they're nearly synonymous.

Netherlands-based artist, Ard Gelinck, presents a take on this confluence of actor and role. Through his skill, he detaches the inseparable, juxtaposing the actor and their character in a fascinating and reflective manner. His work frames the two side-by-side as though they're conversing, spending time together, and just engaging in a unique form of interaction.

Fun fact: because the Harry Potter franchise started filming when they were all literal children Emma Watson for example would actually try to do homework and write stuff with quills during the class scenes in the first movie for example

    Why'd I get downvotes? I think the expanded life expectancy for Parkinson's is quite remarkable! When he was diagnosed with Parkinson's, people expected he had 20 years to live if he were "lucky" (being a relative concept here).

    It's Princess Leia twice. The elder Carrie Fisher should not be in her character.

    In fairly sure that his most famous roles were in Top Gun or Mission Impossible. Risky business was a breakthrough but not the most famous.
