When Peter Hall posted news yesterday (complete with photos) about rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson losing 54 pounds off his chiseled physique to play a football player who gets cancer in Things Fall Apart, it got us thinking about other radical transformations actors have undergone for roles. Like Peter mentions, losing weight or altering your appearance for a part doesn't guarantee a great performance, but it does certainly show how dedicated an actor is to their craft.
