10 Times Actors Played Multiple Roles in the Same Movie/Show

8. Cate Blanchett – Manifesto (2015)

Cate Blanchett delivers a stunning masterclass in character acting in the art-house film Manifesto, portraying 13 wildly diverse characters reciting various artistic manifestos. This wasn't about seamless transitions within a single narrative, but a deliberate showcase of her transformative power. From a homeless man and a punk rocker to a choreographer, a news anchor, and a puppet master, Blanchett fully embodied each role with distinct physicalities, voices, and emotional tones. The film strips away traditional plot to focus entirely on her chameleon-like ability, revealing her acting prowess's sheer depth and range.
