Actors Who Were Traumatized By Their Most Intense Roles

Bob Hoskins

Bob Hoskins had a long and impressive film career, but he's most likely best remembered by 90s kids for his portrayal of P.I. Eddie Valiant. The alcoholic gumshoe in Who Framed Roger Rabbit meant Hoskins spent hours every day acting with his imaginary co-stars who came in during animation. Spending eight months communicating with characters he didn't see took a toll on his psyche, and Hoskins wasn't immune.

Peter O’Toole was nominated for eight performance Oscars and didn’t win a single one.
Some of the velociraptor noises in "Jurassic Park" are actually tortoises mating.
A "Harry Potter" stunt double was paralyzed on the job.
Fantasia (1940) was originally a short called The Sorcerers Apprentice, but Walt Disney overspent on the score and decided to make it feature length film rather than waste money.
