we are what we do

When I saw this topic we are what we do, I automatically thought of actors, don't know why but it just crossed my mind. Actors are what they do because their audience or the public think they are the characters they play on screen and not the real person.

I once read in a magazine, a few years ago about an actress on Generations who was slapped in a grocery store by a woman who watches the show. The reason the woman slapped the actress was because she played a vicious character and the woman wanted to teach her a lesson, not to treat other people badly.

This shows that some people don't understand that characters and the person playing that character might be totally different in real life. Even today actors still have to explain to people that they are only doing their job which is to act and that is not who they are personally.
