Leonardo DiCaprio to Play 24 Characters in One Film

Leonardo DiCaprio is set to play 24 different roles in the upcoming film, The Crowded Room, an adaptation of Daniel Keyes’ The Minds of Billy Milligan. The book which was originally published in 1981, chronicles the life of Billy Milligan who was the first person to successfully use multiple personality disorder as a legal defense when he was charged with the rape of three women as well as armed robbery in the late 1970s. Among his personalities are a Yugoslavian communist who committed the robbery, a lesbian responsible for the rapes, and an English gentleman named Arthur. Perhaps this upcoming role will finally get Leo the Oscar win that has eluded him up until now.
