Only 3% Of Movie Fans Can Name All These Iconic Characters. Can You?

What makes a character in any genre of any show or film iconic? What makes the memorable? When there's an iconic movie character making your movie tick, more often than not, the film is remembered just much as for the character than the movie as a whole. Movies as far back as Noserfatu the Living Vampire have memorable characters like Count Orlok. More recently characters like Heath Ledger’s Joker or Bill Skarsgard’s Pennywise have left indelible marks on the psyche of movie goers.

It's not an exact science, no matter how many studios come up with formulas for making movies. It happens when it is seemingly the perfect marriage of actor and role. The kinetic and frenetic energy an actor brings to their performance makes or break the role and make it memorable. It might not even take that long - Anthony Hopkins built an entire franchise and won an Academy Award for not even ten minutes worth of screen time. He was that gripping and compelling, which is what an actor needs to be to create a great character.
