10 Actors Who Made Sure They Weren't Seen In TV Shows
6. Lily James - Pam & Tommy
When it was announced that a biographical drama series based on the relationship between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee was in the works, there was much speculation about who would end up playing the iconic Baywatch starlet.
But few would've jumped to pick Lily James - an undeniably talented actress and sure beauty, though not one whose girl-next-door qualities and slighter frame made her a natural fit to play Anderson.
Most of those concerns evaporated, however, when the first images were released for the series, showing both James and co-star Sebastian Stan in costume as their respective characters.
To call James' transformation mind-boggling is to undersell it - thanks to awards-worthy makeup work and smart costuming choices, James looks the absolute spitting image of the nineties sex symbol.
Regardless of how the entire show turns out, it's clear that James has committed herself to fully inhabiting the part rather than merely trying to capture Anderson's essence despite her inherent physical dissimilarities.
