Most of them I wouldn't say exactly. I do know that they wrote Cash's songs in a higher pitch for Phoenix range. He practiced so much that he could sing bass. So they threw the remade songs out. I could never mix up John and June with the actors that portrayed them

My favorite behind-the-scenes interview was with Brian May on the set of Bohemian Rhapsody. He said before shooting started, Hair and Make-up asked him to approve of some whigs they were testing on Gwilym Lee, and when Brian May saw Gwilym in full costume, May claimed that he freaked out for a minute. He said it was like looking into a mirror of himself in the 1970s.

I was blown away by how Kristen played Diana. The resemblance was uncanny down to the mannerisms, gestures, accent and voice tone. As for Cate, she absolutely became Katherine it was uncanny. Same for Christian Bale, unassuming people watching Vice wouldn't even know that it was him playing Dick Cheney. Meryl doesn't get enough credit for A Cry in the Dark, she disappeared into the role with a complete Australian accent and uncanny similarity to Lindy Chamberlain.

Helen Miren has done a good job in her biopic roles of queen Elizabeth and Golda Meyer. Granted, I dont know much about Golda, but she does look like her. Sometimes it helps when an actor uses a little makeup to complete the transition to their character, however, like Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill, you don't see Gary at all under the makeup. I was able to see Leo's eyes under the prosthetics in Mr Hoover.

Honorable Mention: *Tom Cruise* as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, "Valkyrie (2008)" Cruise was attracted to the role based on the resemblance of his profile (side-facing posture) to von Stauffenberg's. The actor prepared for the role for eight months by hiring a researcher, studying history books, and speaking with some of von Stauffenberg's family. Since von Stauffenberg lost his left eye, right hand and two fingers on his left hand in an Allied attack in Tunisia, Cruise affected the same disabilities to practice dressing, moving items and writing. Cruise initially found the eyepatch difficult to work with but acknowledged that von Stauffenberg had to live with this discomfort. (Wikipedia)

I remember a buddy of mine who was a huge Doors fan wanted a Morrison tattoo on his shoulder and so he got one. Once it was done, another friend of ours, may he RIP, walked into the tattoo studio we all hung out at and noticed they had been using the movie poster as a reference, so he HAD to tell him "You realize that you just got a tattoo of VAL KILMER right?" The tattoo artist and the buddy getting the tat just looking at each other trying to find a way around it. But they realized it was pretty much 100% a done deal and there was no way around it lol. So everyone there laughed their asses off and he and the tattoo artist felt like tools. Although, it really did look like Morrison, he kept getting teased about it. Buddies kept asking when he was gonna get a _At First Sight_ tattoo...etc. LMFAO

Definitely feels like a crime that y’all left off Dennis Quaid as Jerry Lee Lewis. The real Jerry Lee was a monster and Quaid still managed to absolutely nailed his mannerism, speech patterns and leave a hint of that darker side. Believe he lived with Lewis for many months to do so. People who watch the movie many think it’s satire until they see real footage of Jerry Lee. He really was that comical in real life. Also sad that Chloe Webb wasn’t mentioned along with Gary Oldman. She was also undistinguishable from her real life counterpart. While the movie itself is almost completely fictional, both Webb and Oldman transformed themselves into the people they were portraying.
