On the other hand, in light of current events, the comments that 'Integrity has returned' and 'Integrity is back' had a promising ring.

The role swap was totally obvious once you knew to look for it. He walked out the "room", donned glasses and doffed his jacket, then re-entered as someone completely different.

Before "Thor" I saw Tom Hiddleston onstage in Shakespeare's Cymbeline, playing a doubled role.

It took at least 3 character switches to realize the same actor was playing both characters (and I read the same from professional critics, so it wasn't me being faceblind)

I had a similar thought about the original Muppeteers.

Miss Piggy, Fozzie, Bert, Yoda were all Frank Oz, yet totally distinct.

Carroll Spinney said that playing both Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch was incredibly therapeutic

Ooh!
Tatiana Maslany & Michael B. Jordan in a remake of Kind Hearts & & Coronets!

Also, Michael B. Jordan in Sinners, playing Smoke & Stack.

Outstanding.

Someone should put him & Maslany together for a 2-person, full-cast production.

Special shout-out to Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black for playing different characters *at the same time*

Not only are they distinct enough for viewers to differentiate, but there were tells when one character impersonated another.

Also Christopher Guest.
Just *disappears* into roles.

At the "Princess Bride" wrap party, Rob Reiner was delighted that he'd turned up to support them - forgetting that he played Count Rugen

Massive thank you to KitKat, for giving all the other corporations the opportunity to make the same joke on April Fools Day, thus sparing us from their attempts at "original" humor.

As but one example, Tamora Pierce says publishers allowed higher wordcounts after HP4 showed that kids would read longer books.

Though it's *not* a good example of the genre, I'd have to say J.K. Rowling.
The HP series and its popularity had massive effects on the YA genre, the publishing industry, mainstream acceptance of adults reading YA & fantasy, and perception/culture of fanworks.

I think people need to understand that when you're quibbling over Graham Platner, coming up with hypothetical scenarios where voting for him is a lesser evil, or worse, defending him outright, you're literally asking what level of Nazism is OK in American politics.

The only answer is none.

Before "Thor," Tom Hiddleston played a doubled role in Cymbeline.
Only after 3 switches (with an onstage costume change) did I realize both characters were the same actor, and it took another swap to convince my husband.
(Several critics made similar comments in their reviews)

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.
