It takes two — well, one actor playing two — to make these roles work

, a film adapted from John Pearson’s book on the real-life Kray twins, who were mobsters in a gang known as “The Firm” in England during the ’50s and ’60s. , “The two characters, they were pretty easy to slip between. The complicated part was to make an audience believe it wasn’t one performer doing both parts.”, Brian Hegland, who directed the film, said that filming went like this: “Tom and I would rehearse in the morning. I would read Ron and he would do Reggie.

At which point, once we had the scene down, he would record Ron’s end of the dialog. He’d always play Reggie first, and we’d play Ron in an ear-piece, so he could at least act off his own performance, or a kind of 70 percent performance of Ron, since we hadn’t filmed him yet. Then he’d go and change into Ron mode. Ron wore glasses, he was heavier, he was taller, he had a different hairline. That took a lot of the pressure off. You’re not ping-ponging between two identical twins.
