Very true and actors also do it I understand. For example the late Vic Morrow played the overseer that whipped Lavar Burton's character (the young Kunta Kente) in the mini-series of Roots, but even though they were just acting Mr. Morrow apologized to Levar Burton for having to do it. Obviously Mr. Morrow was nothing like the character he portrayed in the mini-series. His gift as an actor was in being able to convince you that he was. Another example was the actress who played Nellie Olsen in Little house on the Prairie. She once reported that when she was in a parade people threw garbage at her because they confused her with her character who was a spoiled brat.
