Yes, I think there's a difference between the character one plays and
the person playing the character, even if the character shares their
name. The obvious modern example of this is Stephen Colbert.

Dean Martin's stage persona was not the same as his personal life.
Just as a pistol-packin' Keifer Sutherland who never eats or sleeps
running through the streets of Los Angeles screaming at people in the
middle of the night is great fun on TV, it's something to be avoided
in the real world.
