Do actors subconsciously mirror their character? (SOMETIMES)?

And if so, is it also morphed into OTHER previous characters, they’d resemble in their personal lives?

IF this occurs, is it based PURELY on the:

likability of their character?

OR

the habitual constancy of enacting their given character? Regardless of the character quirks: positive or negative

My logic here is:

these people are LITERALLY pretending to be someone with a bunch of other people they have never met until that time. A whole season would mean a few months of practicing aka redoing lines & takes

OVER & OVER again…

not only so (this said muscle memory)

but they’re seeing the faces of the new characters and instead of building friendships with those other actors in real time- they are essentially watching those characters (played by the actors) unfold before them as if it were a real engagement/ friendship/encounter.

So if the series is long & many seasons go by-

wouldn’t a single actor who’s learning another actor express (not themselves but the wishes & behaviors of the director), & pretending for so long…

Adopt the traits, assigned to that actor, and make it almost 2nd nature?

maybe not a whole belief/ moral

but the quirks/behavioral traits?

For example:

if their character is loud- they will become loud in their everyday lives.

if their character is loud but they are quiet in person, they may become more balanced between loud & quiet in their personal lives?

The range cannot be so well predicted-

the just HOW much they will be of their character/ just how loud they would be, for example.

& was Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron man, fitted for his persona? Or did RDJ truly adopt traits & the personal display of Iron Man?

Do actors typically choose roles/ characters that fit more with their own character traits/ beliefs?

Ideally, I’d love to hear what Morgan Freeman would say, BUT

I’m curious & would be extremely humbled/ grateful to read your liberated opinions.

When someone becomes a victim of a crime, many people will start to excuse the criminal or blame the victim without realizing they are doing so.

At the same time, many know they are doing it and continue to do it.

This is commonly called victim blaming. Both men and women will do it towards sexual assault victims, because they should not have been wearing those cloths or been in this place or they drank too much.

This is an attempt to shift blame from the criminal to the victim.

Many will say those in bad situations got themselves into it, such as trafficking victims can just walk away or call 911.

If they do not, then they are not truly victims.

I am not strictly referring to sexual crimes though, this happens with almost any type of crime. People who carry a lot of cash and get robbed, could be blamed. Why were they carrying so much cash, that is their own fault.

Someone who was conceal carrying, locked their gun in their car because they can't take it in where they are going, it gets stolen. They are a victim of theft and yet others will blame them when their gun is used in a crime.

Virtually any type of crime, someone will blame the victim.

Do you in part blame the victims or wholly? Intentionally or unintentionally. Do thoughts cross your mind, that if they had done or not done (insert whatever) that they would not have become a victim or because they did something they choose to become one?
