* To play [[UsefulNotes/AppleMacintosh Apple]] co-founder UsefulNotes/SteveJobs in the 2013 biopic ''Jobs'', Ashton Kutcher followed a fruitarian diet similar to the real Jobs. At one point, he ended up being hospitalized for abnormal pancreatic levels (which is particularly unnerving considering Jobs had died from pancreatic cancer).

* Creator/ChloeAnnett, TheOtherDarrin in the role of Kochanski on ''Series/RedDwarf'', had her long light brown hair cut short and dyed dark brown so that she'd look more like her predecessor Clare Grogan when she took the role in Series VII. In Series VIII, she had her own natural hair (despite the fact that the series premiere took place a matter of minutes after the previous series' finale - the change in appearance was never commented on).

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'': Creator/WalterKoenig had to grow his hair out to play Chekov, as the creators wanted the character to have a [[Music/TheMonkees Monkee]]-like hairstyle due to the band's popularity at the time. (Notably, his first episode, "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E7Catspaw Catspaw]]", was shot before his hair had reached the desired length, so he had to wear an ''extremely'' obvious [[DodgyToupee wig]].)


Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/RedDwarf'': Upon learning that the episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVTerrorform Terrorform]]" would involve him being chained to a pillar wearing only a loincloth, Creator/ChrisBarrie began regularly working out in the gym. The result was a somewhat more jacked Rimmer than one might have expected (much to the surprise of his castmates, who hadn't known what he was doing).

* Creator/JaredLeto resorted to fairly {{squick}}y methods (like drinking melted Haagen Dazs ice cream laced with olive oil and soy sauce) to gain the extra 62 pounds he needed to play Music/JohnLennon's killer Mark David Chapman in the film ''Chapter 27'' - he wound up getting gout and being forced to move around in a wheelchair. Years later, Leto lost 30 pounds to play an HIV-positive transgender woman in ''Film/DallasBuyersClub''. And finally, to play ComicBook/TheJoker in ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'', he grew incredibly ripped, while also dyeing his hair green and shaving his eyebrows.

Often overlaps with OscarBait nowadays. When the casting directors opt to have the actors focus on their performance instead of the character's appearance it's AbilityOverAppearance.
