Actors

I love actors. Acting is an amazing craft. Just think of it: the ability to take on the personality of anyone, and to do that convincingly. There are perfectly sane actors who perform the role of a psychotic. Despite their utter sanity in their real lives, good actors can mimic most convincingly the personality of a severely disturbed person.

I think, for example, of the actor Jeremy Sisto. Jeremy Sisto played the role of Billie Chenowith in the HBO series, Six Feet Under. Mr. Sisto was absolutely convincing as a psychotic young adult struggling with the illness, bipolar disorder.

Here, take a look:
