Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that the man who played the radiological technician in the movie The Exorcist is also a convicted murderer, and was briefly portrayed on screen in season 2 of Mindhunter. by MrAnderson-expectyou
He’s not an actor. He was playing a radiologist because he was a radiologist

It's called method acting.

Method acting is where an actor actually lives like the character he's portraying to research a role to make the performance more believable.
Hiring a real life professional to portray a character like their actual selves is just a casting choice.
