If you COULD maintain a unique identity, set of behaviors, etc. outside of your job, outside of acting...
Then I would say there are many psychological processes taking place to compartmentalize all of those traits, which would be an interesting study.
I think it would be a detriment to your true identity, something that is not necessarily healthy or beneficial at all.
The only way that wouldn't be true is if the character was a GOOD character with traits that rubbed off on you and improved you as a person.
Otherwise, I would think it'd change a person for the worse if they were originally a good person but portrayed a wicked character, in a soap opera for example.
The psychological and behavioral effects of all this shit cannot be underestimated, and we need to know how profound they really are.
