Leonardo DiCaprio is slated to portray Billy Milligan in the upcoming film “The Crowded Room.” Milligan was the first person to successfully use multiple personality disorder as a defense in a court of law. Milligan was said to have as many as 24 personalities and was charged with robbery and raping three women in the late 1970s.
His various personalities included Adalana, a lesbian taking responsibility for the rapes; Ragen, a Yugoslavian communist who admitted to the robbery; and Arthur, an uptight Englishman. Hollywood has long wanted to bring Milligan’s story to the big screen. High-profile directors who previously circled the project include James Cameron. DiCaprio has been eyeing the role as far back as 1997; and now he's not just acting but serving as a producer. Other actors who have previously courted for the role of Milligan included Matthew McConaughey, Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and John Cusack
