By "roles" I mean playing a different character, and in a different piece of media; someone playing one character across a franchise only counts as one thing for the purposes of this poll, as does playing multiple characters in one franchise/piece of media

Below are some of this actor's roles. Please only check after voting!

The Godfather Part II as (young) Vito Corleone (Oscar win)

Raging Bull as Jake La Motta (Oscar win)

Taxi Driver as Travis Bickle (Oscar nomination)

The Deer Hunter as Michael (Oscar nomination)

De Niro has been nominated for four additional acting Oscars and one acting Emmy

I love how with each new installment of TMNT Donnie just becomes more unhinged. Like we’re gonna cut to the Mutant Mayhem movie and Donnie’s online human persona is going to be some cyber-terrorist who’s a known war criminal in at least 24 countries.

Had some ideas for Upstairs Downstairs Hazbin Hotel expys. Still very much in a WIP stage, but check it out if you're interested! (also I only ended up seeing like 6-ish? episodes of it, but I did like what I saw, and I read a few Wikipedia summaries too!)

It's long and very more than likely 50/50 ooc, so there's a read more

This one covers expys of Alfred and Sarah, but hopefully other characters are to follow!

Alfred-

Potential Death name: Soleil, if renamed by the French speaking Sarah expy, with her telling him that for all the darkness there can still be light and salvation. He would likely initially be resistant to taking on a death name as he views it as lying, but she points out that their former employees forced him to take up the name that to their eyes best suited his role, and that this was closer to authenticity than that was.

Species: Sinner Demon

Gender & Pronouns: Cis man, he/him

Sexuality: Gay

Description A smoke demon, he becomes more corporeal the calmer he is and more smoke when more agitated. When fully (or nearly fully) corporeal he looks very similar to when he was alive, with dark wavy hair, pale gaunt features, and slightly stooped posture, though slightly hazy and immaterial, emitting a gentle glow and heat. In full smoke form he remains humanoid, but grows in height and is composed of thick roiling smoke with eyes that glow with a nauseating white heat. He cannot dissipate from this form, but he can generate more smoke that fills the surrounding area. He may not have a full demon mode, or is perhaps merely to timid to have discovered it yet.

Occupation: In life he was a footman, though thus far in hell he has not secured a lasting occupation and is currently squatting in a largely dilapidated building with his companions.

Cause of Death: Hanged for murdering an aristocrat (in self defense, as the man sadistically abused and tortured him though the judge wouldn't hear it).

Location of X: Visible in the back of his throat due to being hanged (additional, far smaller xs are sometimes visible in the smoke swirling around his body in smoke form, as he was suffering severely infected injuries prior to his execution that likely would have killed him had they not)

Powers: He has the ability to impair others' breathing due to being hanged, produces a painful aura of heat when agitated, his corporeal touch can burn (temporary) Xs onto the skin of others

Personality: Extremely anxious, paranoid, and traumatized. He was very religious throughout his life, learning to speak through scripture and religious versus (he's autistic) and is now largely unsure how to proceed. He often behaves strangely, but ultimately is very protective of his found family.

Bonus:

The traits of his Sinner Demon form come from how he was suffering a fever from infected wounds at the time of his death, feared fire, burning, and hell, and how these things were used to torture him (thus driving him to commit the murder, thereby being just as responsible for his death as the rope. Though his smoke form is a mockery of his life's fears it also serves as a promise that he can never be hurt again the same way as before. He can be injured in his corporeal form and must remain solid to heal, but he cannot take further injury once in smoke form.

Sarah

.Potential Death name ideas: Chanteuse. Mirror.

Species: Sinner Demon

Gender & pronouns: Cis Woman, She/her. OR, more interesting idea: genderfluid with changing or mirror pronouns 👀

Sexuality: Bisexual

Description: A parrot demon with small chattering mouths hidden under her feathers that grow in size and get louder in their overlapping the more she lies (they close and shrink when she tells a truth). Her plumage frequently molts and changes, mimicking multiple types of parrot coloration.

Occupation: She has taken on many many short lived jobs since arriving in hell, including singer, pickpocket, prostitute, actress, model, clerk, robber, burlesque dancer, beautician, nurse, getaway driver, and more. She burns through good will quickly, but is always ready to try something new or revisit an old endeavor.

Cause of Death: Though she always invents different falsehoods regarding it, she was stabbed to death by a rich artist she'd seduced because he (erroneously) believed she was scamming him when her criminal past and dubious romantic track record came to light.

Location of X: Over her heart

Powers: Temporary hypnosis that can be bolstered by singing (the more of the mouths she uses the more powerful the effect it is, but the greater the fallout when the effect wears off). Gliding, and a painful venom when her hidden mouths bite.

Personality: A compulsive liar, but very creative, spirited, and hates to see close friends upset. Greatly desires a fanciful romantic love, but is understandably dubious since showing genuine vulnerability lead to a terrifyingly violent and untimely death.

we really stop have to telling people about quantum physics with the Schrödinger's cat example.

he literally made up that argument to show why quantum physics was a stupid idea. yes. it was eventually proved true but it was made in order to show how it was a stupid idea. meaning it's a god awful example either way.

you're trying to explain something quantum with intentionally the most confusing and backwards example of it

I always wondered how James Somerton could crank out such many well written video essays in such a short amount of time…

Because he’s stealing the words of literally dozens of writers who are better than him. 😀
