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. -- Ed Dravecky III http://www.fencon.org/ -- TV or Not TV ....
