* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS13E3 Blood on the Saddle]]", originally Adam's outlaw persona of Billy the Kid for the Old West show was simply a form of escapism for his otherwise dull life as an optician. However, following Susan convincing him to commit several murders in the role, by the end Adam honestly believes he is Billy the Kid. In the episode's climax, he hallucinates that the Fincher farm is a saloon and believes Inspector Barnaby is Marshal Wyatt Earp.

* Rumours abounded that Creator/HeathLedger's [[Film/TheDarkKnight take]] on [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]] was at least in part responsible for his death. The Joker's psyche certainly is unsettling, to say the least. His co-stars seem to debunk this theory as they said he seemed really relaxed between takes and on stage, and in no way exhibited behavior that supports this theory. Likewise, at the time of Ledger's death, he was working on another film, Creator/TerryGilliam's ''Film/TheImaginariumOfDoctorParnassus'' which was a comic performance and far less stressful.

* It's a fairly common interpretation of Music/TupacShakur's CreatorBreakdown that he got lost in character as Bishop in ''Film/{{Juice}}'', adopting a violent gangster persona that wasn't the real him. While it's obvious that Bishop did affect how he conducted his persona in the public eye, Pac was a troubled individual, with issues with his mother, women and authority, and had already shot two off-duty cops in Atlanta in self-defence for an attempted racist assault. His change in personality after ''Juice'' is probably more natural to attribute to the fact that, after he was in the movie, he was beaten nearly to death by a pair of racist Oakland cops, an experience that traumatised him so badly that his hair started falling out in clumps.
