As brought up here, the current image better fits a subtrope, Playing Their Own Twin. It's not bad but could possibly be improved upon for that reason.

I guess the ideal would be something with a repeated cast name like the images already on Playing Their Own Twin, but I figure something with clearly identical characters played by the same character could be obvious enough. Is this clear enough?

[up] The different hair colors and styles make it a little less obvious without some sort of cast list.

[up][up] Rearrange that to 2 x 3 instead of 3 x 2 and that's a winner for me.

The fat suit and makeup makes it a bit hard to tell it's all Eddie Murphy, IMO.

My concern is without an obvious uniting element (like the news ticker in the OP), it's hard to tell that those characters are from the same movie.

Another suggestion from the same movie; the quality is very poor, but the text saying "Eddie Murphy is the Klumps" makes it explicit that all those characters are played by the same actor. Unfortunately I didn't find a better quality version that isn't watermarked or isn't too similar to the one on the work page.

Another suggestion, this time it's Mike Myers from Austin Powers, though it does suffer from the same problems as my earlier Klumps suggestion.

[up] The Klumps poster would be better if we had a better quality version.

Need a crowner yet?

I prefer the OP if we can't find a better quality version of the Klumps poster.

This is better quality, and also has the "Eddie Murphy is the Klumps" text, but it's also too similar to the one on the work page.

[up] That’s my favorite suggestion so far, but are there any alternate posters we could use for the work page?

Maybe a higher quality crop of this image for the work page?

Maybe this for the work page? Kinda small, though.

[up][up][up]That's good for the work page, if we find a higher quality.

The one on Acting for Two should, preferably, only have characters played by Eddie Murphy.

[up]Not a good option for the work page (that should preferably be a full poster), but could work for Acting for Two? Still preferring the options that explicitly spell out Actor IS the Title Character.

EDIT: Another option for the work page.
