DWIGHT SCHRUTE VS. RAINN WILSON

Fans of the hit comedy show The Office will always know one of its lead characters Dwight Kurt Schrute III, a salesman and the assistant to the regional manager at a paper distribution company. He is known for his aviator glasses, hair parted in the center, and his sideburns. He maintains a certain degree of neatness with growing his beard and mustache and is always organized on things. He even gets irritated with officemates who are cluttered and messy at work, which working people can relate to. Rainn Wilson, who earned three consecutive Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his superb performance, is way different in terms of looks. Rainn is always sporting his growing beard and mustache, which are now white due to his age.

DETECTIVE SGT. ELLIE MILLER VS. OLIVIA COLMAN

Broadchurch character Detective Sgt. Ellie Miller’s personality was initially a soft-hearted one. But after certain things did not go well for her and the people around her, she began to develop into someone tough. She needed to reach a degree when she needed to be strong for herself. Detective Ellie is known to have that curly, brunette bob, with minimal make-up on. In reality, Olivia Colman dons her short white hair in her latest outings, proving even further that she is far different from her critically-acclaimed role in the hit show. She loves to wear make-up that suits her ensemble, often flashing her pearly whites and youthful glow.

STEPHEN BONNET VS. ED SPELEERS

English actor Ed Speelers often had roles that looked closely similar to his real-life appearance, such as his role in Downton Abbey. However, Ed totally nailed his performance as a pirate, smuggler, and sometimes, he reaches the degree where he had to be a murderer in Outlander as Stephen Bonnet. In his antagonist role, Ed Speelers had to sport a long stringy hair wig in dark grey shade. He also had to be put on a distinct scratch mark on his left eye. In reality, Ed does not look like a pirate or worst, even a murderer. In fact, he has this innocent look thanks to his pair of deep blue eyes and cleanly shaved face.

QUEEN VICTORIA VS. JENNA COLEMAN

Jenna Coleman’s role as Queen Victoria in the ITV historical drama series Victoria perfectly cements her acting prowess. In the television series, Jenna plays the well-loved Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria is every inch a regal queen with neatly tied hair parted in the middle, with the crown on top. The Royal Highness wears elegant clothes and fine accessories that make her even more beautiful. Jenna, meanwhile, still looks like a modern-day queen in reality, but without the crown and the ball gowns. Jenna loves to wear her brunette hair down and shows off her distinct facial features with natural make-up. Although she does not wear heavy gowns in real life, Jenna still makes heads turn with her red-carpet appearances sans all the grandiose Queen Victoria has always shown with. Jenna admits that playing the role of the Queen of England has parted her away from her previous working-class degree role in Emmerdale.

ALEX DUNPHY VS ARIEL WINTER

Who wouldn’t know the middle child of Claire and Phil Dunphy in the sitcom Modern Family? Alex Dunphy, who is said to be the cleverest among their three kids, has definitely grown up in front of the TV screen with almost 11 seasons of airing since 2009. But not many know that Alex Dunphy’s black glasses and boring casual clothes will never be seen in real life being worn by its actress Ariel Winter. Now at age 22, Ariel is known to hit red carpet premieres with her distinct fashion sense, showing off her curves and beautiful face sans the thick glasses. Ariel also loves to experiment with the color of her hair, unlike Alex Dunphy, who was still in the degree of innocence and would settle with her thick, black waist-length tresses. Ariel has been seen with golden and black hair in different cuts throughout the years.

ROGER MACKENZIE WAKEFIELD VS RICHARD RANKIN

Outlander character Roger Mackenzie Wakefield has gone from being good looking to wearing long unkempt golden hair. Unlike his previous television and movie roles where he can show off his distinct good looks, his real face is barely recognizable in this show. He has a few scratches and his entire body would look very tired, as shown in his tattered clothes. But of course, despite this, we must give credit to his superb acting skills, which did not wane even in years. But the Scottish actor Richard Rankin, on the other hand, is always seen with a nicely trimmed beard. He also looks way younger than his TV counterpart.

RUTH LANGMORE VS. JULIE GARDNER

Julie Gardner played the role of Ruth Langmore in Ozark, a tough, a young girl known for her blonde curls. She has a nasty personality and can be violent when she is provoked.  She was born a poor girl and had to experience the deaths of her beloved ones, which contributed to a certain degree of hate to people. Julie Gardner, when seen in press conferences, usually sports straight hair. While every fan loves her curly blonde lock, she also had to wear a blonde hair color to cover her real brunette hair.  She does love rocking colorful ensembles, which are a tad far from Julie’s usual get-ups in dark, dull colors.

WALTER WHITE VS. BRYAN CRANSTON

AMC’s Breaking Bad lead character Walter White, who has gone from being cancer-stricken to a meth dealer to pay his personal loans and medical bills, had undergone different looks in the hit TV show. From being a cancer patient and a prisoner, he became a drug dealer with former student Jesse Pinkman. He sported a bald cap, goatee, and reading glasses throughout his stint as a successful drug dealer. Bryan Cranston, the actor who takes on the role, is seen on every Breaking Bad press briefing with his clean face and hair growing in grey, definitely far from what fans have been used to in the award-winning series’ episodes.

GIANNI VERSACE VS. ÉDGAR RAMÍREZ

The late fashion designer Gianni Versace was played by Édgar Ramírez in the crime anthology season 2 of FX’s The American Crime Story. Depicting the assassination of the fashion icon, Edgar had to don his colorful designer clothes with his growing white hair while imitating the lavish lifestyle he had once lived. In real life, Edgar is far from any degree of the fashion designer’s taste in looks and clothes. Edgar has thick black hair, unlike his Gianni’s graying hair. He also loves to grow his thick beard and mustache when he is out of the duty of his role as Gianni.

BETTY SUAREZ VS. AMERICA FERRERA

America Ferrera rose to fame for her iconic role as the hard-working and optimistic working girl Betty Suarez in Ugly Betty. As she takes on the role, America had to embrace wearing artificial braces, thick red glasses, unshaped eyebrows, and bangs. In reality, America looks way different. For one, she is not a fan of wearing thick-framed eyeglasses. She would wear her hair in various styles and cuts and is never afraid to experiment in clothes for her outing, usually revealing her sexy curves. She gives credit to her religious exercise routines, which keep her body fit and toned.
