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

9. Christian Bale – The Prestige (2006)

Christian Bale's dual role in Christopher Nolan's The Prestige as rival magicians Alfred Borden and the mysterious Fallon went beyond simply playing twins or a disguised individual. The true complexity lay in portraying Borden's life after the reveal of the "Fallon" persona, effectively playing Borden pretending to be Fallon. This required Bale to subtly shift his performance within the same character, adding layers of deception and hidden identity. Nolan famously had Bale often work with himself (or a double) on set to ensure perfect continuity and nuanced interactions, highlighting the intricate planning required for such a sophisticated multi-role performance.
