That is a fascinating thing to think about, if every role an actor played created a doppelganger. Would our entertainment get cheerier as a result or would less responsible folks just not care? Would all of Shakespeare's tragedies get put away forever?
Thank you for sharing this dream, I'm going to be pondering it too.
Well, the things that happen to the characters don't necessarily happen to them, they just have the same personalities. Does that make sense?
But yeah, like, the tragedies with really awful people? I don't know. The actor was a singularity, though. So it was just about him, and the tough decisions he had to make. And his responsibility to the people he'd created.
I think I might have to write it. I need to know more about being a film actor, and about LA to do it, though.
It was really fascinating.
The niece from the farmhouse ended up getting involved with the housepainter doppelganger from the romantic comedy, rather than the film star himself, in the end, but there was also this moment of consideration on her part that she was effectively dating a person whom another person created. And she got along with the actor himself, and dated him briefly, too, but their lifestyles were ultimately incompatible. And one of the other doppelgangers talked about wanting to become an actor, too. Though I woke up before that came to fruition.
No, it's just the dude (whom I'm calling Henry) who has the powers. Early in his career, he tried to get a couple of his doppelgangers to fill in for him, but none of them were any good at acting, even as themselves.

And what if he wasn't any good as an actor? And then the original actor's reviews would get spotty as his quality seemingly varied wildly...
