LIVE POLL: Intriguing Multiple Personality Characters

The proper term is dissociative identity disorder. Aaron should not be on this list, as his "other" personality was all an act and not due to mental illness. Patrick Bateman did not have more than one personality. Just one crazy one who killed because he liked it, not a whole separate personality. A double life is not the same as a dual personality. Same with Regina Mills and Francis Dolarhyde. I have both seen the film and read of the book of Shutter Island and it was DiCaprio's character who had DID. FYC: Robert Elliott - Dressed to Kill Bae Soo-Mi - A Tale of Two Sisters/Anna - The Uninvited (Uninvited is the American remake of Sisters) I don't know who (haven't seen it) - Frailty Alma - Persona Stanley Ipkiss - The Mask

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. this originally started as a poll about MPD and forgot to remove "Disorder". It is now more about multiple personalities being used to develop an interesting character. As well as, the use of multiple personality as a plot device or plot twist. Plus, the creative vehicles writers use to accomplish this. Multiple personalities in this case can be psychological or be caused by any one of a number different plot devices: software, computer chips, enchanted masks, potions, chemical formulas, etc. or just plain faking it. So, I tried to include lots of options outside the run of the mill, DID. I thought this would be covered withing the scope of the question: Which movie or television character with literal or figurative multiple personalities is the most multi-facetedly intriguing? Thanks, I have seen all these movies plus the ones you suggested. I was fuzzy on the details from Shutter Island and American Psycho, plus the plot summaries were no help. I can understand the weaknesses of the characters you have pointed out. I have removed Patrick Bateman, as a result. Regina Millls and Francis Dolorhyde are both listed on their wikias and wikipedia as multiple personality characters. I added in Bae-S00-Mi, Stanley Ipkiss and Fenton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fictional_characters_with_multiple_personalities http://hannibal.wikia.com/wiki/Francis_Dolarhyde http://villains.wikia.com/wiki/Regina_Mills

Update: PS: Intriguing Multiple Personality Characters Multiple personality driven stories and characters often result in fantastic movies and interesting TV series. Sometimes, the creative story lines of how a character acquired their particular set of multiple personalities is even more intriguing than the multiple personalities themselves. In addition, characters with multiple personalities are a juicy opportunity to demonstrate an actors' or actresses' range of acting talent. Which movie or television character with literal or figurative multiple personalities is the most multi-facetedly intriguing?

David Haller

Uh, Elliot Anderson in Mr. Robot? My personal favorite, besides maybe Norman Bates in the Psycho prequel Bates Motel. Also, Caitlin Snow (alter ego Killer Frost) in CW's The Flash. The Flash also had an episode with a pretty good AID character named Frankie Kane as well.

The list link on your initial post doesn't work. Looks like you re-did the list but maybe you have to get Dan or Peter to update the list link...?

Thanks, but this is really intended to be more of movie character poll, I will try to be more clear in the question. The only reason television is mentioned is accommodate the extended TV movie, Sybil (1976) which ran 3 hours and 18 minutes over two nights when it originally aired in 1976. IMDb classifies it as a TV Mini-Series. It contains probably the most famous split personalty of them all, Sybill / Peggy / Vicky / Vanessa / Marcia / Ruthie / Mary /Nancy / Clara / Helen / Marjorie / Sybil Ann / Mike / Sid

Intriguing Multiple Personality Characters Which movie* character portrayal with split multiple personalities is the most multi-facetedly intriguing? *theatrical, television or streaming

Tom Stall / Joey Cusack (#10) doesn't have any pathology that in any way is close to dissociative identity disorder. He just changed his name when he moved far away to escape a violent past and the dangerous mob figures with whom he had been involved. Mr. Brooks (#7) also doesn't have dissociative identity disorder, although he's much more pathological than Tom Stall in many ways. Marshall is not another personality coexisting with Mr.Brooks as much as the personification of Mr. Brooks' violent side (perhaps like Dexter's "dark passenger" or Walter White's "Heisenberg") or perhaps even the personification of voices if he suffers from some kind of psychosis. The film doesn't make it clear except that few of the typical symptoms and characteristics of what used to be known as multiple personality disorder is there with Mr. Brooks -- or perhaps the filmmaker confuses D.I.D. with some psychotic illness such as schizophrenia and presents features of both. Although he fits way more than Tom Stall, Mr. Brooks is not a clear-cut case like 'Split' and some of the other characters and movies on the list.
