If you play an evil character, it’s gotta stick a little.

And if you’re a character-actor who always gets the evil role. If you play 100 evil guys. Then 100X moreso.

You get into the evil role. See the world through evil eyes and evil motivations.

And over time, It’s gotta bend your personality towards real evilness. Right?

I suppose you could google evil-character-actors. 20 years later, how many got arrested for something heinous.

What do you think?


EDIT

Put more generally : Can habits gained in one context bleed over into another context?

Yes.

Do they?

Possibly. With increasing probability as the habit becomes stronger. And there’s self-awareness to consider. And how much the habit clashes with the new context.

    Actually some of you said no, some said yes, some said maybe and some said it bears further discussion. But your song is a bit gimpy I think.

      One person said yes (and literally nothing else). Nobody said maybe. Everyone else said no. You are the only person who thinks it bears further discussion. I checked.

          Asked yours last night. Hard to understand with her mouth full, but ultimately confirmed that it was no. We laughed pretty hard because otherwise she kept repeating the opposite all night.
