When Every Day hits theaters Friday, it will be one of only a few movies to have taken an experimental film concept to the big screen.
Based on David Levithan’s novel of the same name, Every Day follows 16-year-old Rhiannon’s romance with "A," a person who wakes up in a new body every day. The film not only challenges notions of gender and sexuality, but it also features multiple actors who play a single character. In total, more than a dozen actors play A, including Justice Smith, Jacob Batalon, and Angourie Rice.
Though many films do hire separate actors to play characters at different life stages, or swap actors during reboots (a la James Bond), very few have seen several actors to portray a single character across a flat time period. In honor of the release of Every Day this Friday, here are a handful of films that have taken this unique approach.
