My question of the moment after some mentions of movies like Casablanca -
Does an actor act to the role that's created by writers OR
Does an actor, especially one who IS a character (Bogart and John Wayne come to mind here) portray themselves in a role?
Which actors are better suited to playing themselves in a setting (John Wayne in a John Wayne movie), and which of them morph into a character that's NOT like them (Johnny Depp as a professional wrestler)?
