He read speeches others wrote, he acted roles other people created.

He acted the role of a football player. And the father of a chimpanzee. He wasn't the father of a chimpanzee, he acted that role.

Sorta like John Wayne, people think he was those things of which he spoke. Neither of them were the roles they played.

Hard to believe, and I hate to be the one to let folks know.
