17 Actors That Proved Wigs Can Really Make All The Difference In TV And Movies
Hair and makeup are absolutely key when it comes to bringing a character to life on screen.
Some celebs have been challenged to change up their everyday looks from shaving their head to dying their hair a totally different color. But one of the most simple solutions when you need a new hairdo in a pinch? Wearing a wig.
Here are a bunch of TV and movie stars that rocked a wig for their iconic roles over the years. Take a look:
1. To start, Dacre Montgomery’s made the mullet stylish again with his retro look in Stranger Things.
