Ever see a character an actor has played instead of the actor?

Joseph Cotton. He was such an idiot in The Third Man that I could never accept him as the hero of Gaslight.

Ingrid Bergman. She was such a whimp in Gaslight that I was very happy when she took off with Victor Lazlo in Casablanca.

This was used in the Kenneth Branagh movie Dead Again, where knowledge of his stuttering as an actor was a kind of nod to the viewer about who the killer was.

I don’t quite remember what you are talking about, so thank you for a reason to watch the movie again.
