Takako Fuji played Kayako in The Grudge and The Ring. All in all, she played Kayako a whopping six times. Fuji has said that she prefers the Japanese films because the American ones had "too big" of a budget and lost their fear factor. That's a pretty interesting take!
The Janitor - Roberto Campanella
Silent Hill has tons of freaky creatures showcased throughout the film. The Janitor is one of those characters that instill huge discomfort in the viewer due to his contortionist ways. The movie, which is actually adapted from a popular video game, is now known as one of the best horror films out there.
Roberto Campanella is a choreographer who has worked on tons of films including It and Beauty and the Beast. He was chosen to play the janitor in Silent Hill, who had his hands and feet tied up. Campanella met the challenge head-on and got creative with the choreography, making The Janitor one of the most unsettling characters of the film.
Emporer Palpatine - Ian McDiarmid
Emporer Palpatine underwent quite the transformation during the Star Wars films he was featured in. Scottish actor Ian McDiarmid took on the role of the powerfully evil character. At first, he didn't have much makeup to deal with. By the end of his Star Wars stint, his character had changed so much that he spent hours in the makeup chair.
