Proteico

Spanish to English Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Estoy realizando un trabajo sobre un personaje famoso del cine y el título es "La Proteica Figura de Xxx", no encuentro una traducción que me convenza al inglés. "Proteico" puede traducirse por "protean" pero no sé si tiene el mismo sentido. Les agradezco la ayuda. Gracias

Spanish term (edited): La proteica figura de Xxx
Selected

The protean Xxx

The following Merriam-Webster definition of 'protean' seems to fit your context:
"3 : capable of acting many different roles *the company was led by a protean actor*"

But I would suggest leaving out a translation of "figura", which would be sort of redundant.

chameleonic

This could be an option for those unfamiliar with Greek mythology...
Example sentence:

Chameleonic actor to play fallen Israeli startup idol ...

He... is often described as a chameleonic actor with many faces...
