One of the greatest “risks” (or chances!) For an actor is to be identified for a long time with a character he has played, a fictional figure who has become so emblematic in the common imagination that he cannot any longer get rid of it.
Think, to cite just two examples, of Harrison Ford with “his” Indiana Jones, or Henry Thomas with Elliott, ET’s son. Both played other roles, of course, but these stuck them. to the skin. Thus, the Dutch graphic designer Ard Gelinck, famous for his incredible photomontages, decided to “immortalize” the actors with their most famous characters. The results? They speak for themselves: all that remains is to discover some of his photos where reality has mingled perfectly with fiction!
#1. Henry Thomas, AND the alien and … Elliott, always be Henry Thomas!
#2. Dustin Hoffman next to “his” Raymond Babbitt from “Rain Man”
