Alguns podem... muitos em torno de outros que também se desdobram.

... earn the right to unfold oneself into many...
Explanation:
"Unfold" pode significar "to reveal or display", "to develop", "to open". O seu contexto não ficou claro, por isso talvez não esteja exato. Quem se desdobra e se desdobra em quê? Eu entendi com o um personagem que se desdobra em muitos personagens.

Sendo que se trata de ator desdobrando em personagem, conforme explicado, talvez "develop into many [characters]" seja melhor.
