Actors can be different from the parts they play...

 "In 2016, six years after the publication of the book, the Dutch movie director Pieter Kuijpers decided to bring Dries Riphagen to the TV screen, with Jeroen van Koninsbrugge playing Riphagen.

'During filming, I had such a different way of reacting, which I took home with me. I really felt the role. I just could not understand the man–how he could leave his wife and child to save his own life,' Jeroen van Koningsbrugge said during an interview. 'So it was not like I missed the part when it was all over.'"
