Abstract
This is the first book to explore how actors play real people. How do you capture Hitler, Mugabe, or a serial killer? How do you portray living monarchs or political leaders? Is it possible to embody a genius like Mozart or Darwin? With a multiple award-winning line-up, including Sir Ian McKellen on playing himself in Ricky Gervais's Extras.
