English term or phrase: to look the part
This is an American English saying which usually refers to the actor in a play or movie. You would say this if, before you saw the movie, you knew a little bit about the plot and about the characters. Then, knowing exactly which actor was playing a certain part/role in the movie, you would say, "Wow, he really looks the part!" meaning that he has the right physical appearance to play the role.
