Actors That Took Things Too Far When They Refused To Break Character

Wladyslaw Szpilman

Adrian Brody went through hell and back just to play composer Wladyslaw Szpilman in The Pianist. Brody dropped 30 pounds and learned to play the piano too. Not only that, he sold his car along with giving up his apartment. Brody’s sacrifices earned him the Best Actor Award at the Oscars.
