Actors who have lost their ‘characters’

Choosing the right actors for the role is a complex matter. Getting the most out of them is also quite a challenge. The biggest challenge of all is to keep them in the conversation. Actors and actresses leave the cast for a variety of reasons. Directors also have to remove some actors.

The use of different actors for the same character in a series of films or series reduces the flavor of the story and confuses the audience.

You may have seen different actors used for the same role in some of these films. This article is about several such actors and actresses.

Zachary Levi instead of ” Josh Dallas ” – Actors who have lost characters

‘‘ Mary Alice ” instead of ” Gloria Foster ” – Actors who have lost characters

You may remember Gloria Foster, who played the character of “Oracle” in the Matrix movie series. She starred in The Matrix and The Matrix Reloaded, the first two films to do justice to the character. But before the shooting of the third film, The Matrix Revolution, she passed away due to diabetes. Instead, it was actress Mary Alice who contributed to the Matrix Revolution. It is mentioned that even the script was changed to explain this difference. As Sati’s parents take her into The Matrix, Oracle loses its true form and takes on a different form.
