If an actor signs on to play a character in a particularly grim movie, it might send them to some dark places when they're preparing and filming, but they don't have to stay in that headspace for too long. If it's a character on a dark TV show, however, they have to play that role for years, and it can sometimes take a serious toll on their mental health. In fact, some actors have admitted they still haven't fully recovered.
