TV and movies are filled with iconic actors with a different aura; whether it be charisma or talent, they seem to stand out from the rest. For actors to get into their roles, they usually seek inspiration from other actors or similar characters to the one they are playing. This inspiration is what allows them to get a better idea of what their character should be like.
9 Yūsaku Matsuda Character Inspired: Spike Spiegel from 'Cowboy Bebop' Close Many fans in the West probably don't know the name Yūsaku Matsuda, but in Japan, he was a big deal. The star was best known for his roles in action movies and on various TV shows in the 70s. Matsuda started branching out in the 80s, getting a variety of roles to highlight his versatility.
7 Helen Kane Character Inspired: Betty Boop from 'Dizzy Dishes' Close Helen Kane was an actress and singer popular during the 20s and 30s. She was most famous for her song "I Wanna Be Loved By You." Her popularity was so immense during this time that her name was the headline for a movie she barely starred in. Kane's signature "boop-oop-a-doop" style helped her stand out, but it also aged poorly, and she later fell out of fame.
5 Peggy Lee Character Inspired: Miss Piggy from 'The Muppets' Close Peggy Lee was an established singer and actress who started on the radio before pursuing singing and acting. Cited as the Queen of American pop music, Lee was nominated for 13 Grammys and an Academy Award. She also voiced various characters in the classic animated film, Lady and the Tramp.
