Allegedly he went crazy during number 23, too

Not a movie, but Watkins Tudor Jones playing the character of Ninja in Die Antwoord has definitely changed him. His earlier music is essentially mocking the Ninja character, and that is essentially what he has become.

Call it audience capture, getting into a role, or a justification to do the things he had previously been uncomfortable doing, but it’s not just a role.

I mean when he’s defending himself against sexual assault accusations, he’s still essentially in the Ninja character, with the Afrikaans accent, the absurd clothes, and of course the tattoos will never go away.

I wonder what Robert Reiner's political views were like before he played Meathead in "All in the Family." Cause it seems he has been stuck in that role ever since.

I came here to post this very thing. It clearly altered his mental well being.
