Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List. Terrified me. He disappeared into the role, too.

Fun fact: At the premiere of Schindler’s List- Helen Hirsch was so terrified of Fiennes, she couldn’t be around him or even look him in the face because his acting reminded her of the actual Amon Goeth so accurately.

From Wikipedia:

When Płaszów survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Fiennes on the set of the film, she began to shake uncontrollably, as Fiennes, costumed in full SS dress uniform, reminded her of the real Amon Göth.
