Live Poll: Man! You Don’t Look Like Yourself or Who Would Win a Lon Chaney Award
List page: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls506886527/
Poll page:
https://www.imdb.com/poll/FX-WZMcwj7c/
For those who don’t know who Lon Chaney was, he was a famous silent film star known as “The Man of a Thousand Faces” because he was an expert at makeup and created his character makeup. But more importantly for this poll, his makeup so complete that you could not recognize his face. The following is a list of actors/actress who wore makeup for a role that you couldn’t recognize there face. And there some characters who appear in multiple films where makeup is required like Joker or Frankenstein’s monster. Who is the most unrecognizable?
The best part is that since the IMDb always print the names of the people in the images, I don’t have to write the name for each entry. But I will have an IMDb link to a picture of how the actor looks without makeup. And no where in the film is their face is show except for Mel Brooks and Eddie Murphy who did multiple roles in their own films like “Coming To America” or “Spaceballs” or “Wizard of Oz”. One entry per actor. Again, who is the most unrecognizable with the makeup?
If you know anybody else who had a makeover of the worst or weird kind for a film, the makeup chair is right over here.

This one was a long hard road to put together. If the IMDb wants the links to pictures how the actors look without makeup gone, then good, they are gone. Let the IMDb members figure out who they are.
but this had enjoyable benefits too.
In researching Lon Chaney, I came across this picture that reminded me of my poll about creepy smiles.

Please correct:
The following is a list of actors/actress who wore makeup for a role that you couldn’t recognize their face. And there are some characters who appear in multiple films
And nowhere in the film is their face shown

Please correct:
But more importantly for this poll, his makeup was so complete that you could not recognize his face.
The following is a list of actors/actresses
#9: Even though are two words:
Even though he played Professor Van Helsing in all the Hammer horror films
#14: This may get deleted because this is really a costume.
#24: The man on the left
#30: This is a picture of how he looked
The question only needs to be asked once in the intro, so please remove one.
Thanks.
