Cinema has the potential to create an alternate world where one can live his fantasies. We have seen movies based on comic books, parallel universe, outer space, and real incidents. The reason why such movies gain importance is due to their production, direction, actors, basically, the entire film crew contributes to the success of the film as well as the character. Often, people are impressed and are in love with the character rather than the actor playing the role, which is the best compliment an actor could receive. Here are a few unforgettable characters of Heath Ledger, Al Pacino, and Jack Nicholson.
