The personality of a character of a film

The character whose personality I've chosen to describe is Stanley Ipkiss of the movie The Mask.

Stanley Ipkiss is a generous, law-abiding, shy and romantic bank clerk burdened by his landlady and by his manager.
One day he finds an ancient voodoo mask, that lends whoever is wearing it extraordinary powers and abilities but frees him from inhibitions and amplifies the suppressed parts of his personality.
The man is transformed into a bold, brave, outgoing man but also unpredictable, dishonest and a little bit of maniac.
So, instead of becoming a superhero and tackling crime, he chooses to rob a bank to seduce a gangster's woman .
