I think the champion must be Max Von Sydow. Despite his crippling atheism he was still able to play Christ in "The Greatest Story Ever Told", the Devil in "Needful Things", the title role in "The Exorcist", an angel in "What Dreams May Come", and Pope Clement VII in "Una vita scellerata".
Next up: Childless actors who have played parents, followed by actors who were never in the army but played soldiers.
Can you elaborate on referring to him as having crippling atheism? I perused his IMDB page and his wiki page
Sydow is reported to be either an agnostic or an atheist. In 2012, Sydow told Charlie Rose in an interview that Ingmar Bergman had told him he would contact Sydow after death to show him that there was a life after death. When Rose asked Sydow if he had heard from Bergman, Sydow replied that he had, but chose not to elaborate further on the exact meaning of this statement. In the same interview, Sydow described himself as a doubter in his youth, but stated this doubt was gone. He did not elaborate on what he did not doubt anymor
It seems he's had a long fairly active career even during the time he was an atheist IF his statement means he started believing there was a god later on.
Except for his divorce, I can't find any distraction in his private life. I might have missed something.
