Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
The director knew that no one but Gene Wilder could play Willy Wonka even before Wilder even auditioned for the part. It’s probably for this reason that the actor was given a lot of freedom in his performance. Wilder even insisted on changing the entrance of the character. Yes, we’re talking about the way that Willy limps before finally stumbling into a somersault! Wilder knew this would help establish his wild character as unreliable from the start.

The Wolf of Wall Street
The Wolf of Wall Street was actually full of improvised lines, but let’s focus on the intimate moment shared by Margot Robbie and Leonardo DiCaprio. Scorsese actually gave Robbie the option to wear a robe, but she refused. She knew that the character was meant to be physical and sensual. That’s what we call dedication!
