Sometimes, an actor will get cast in one type of part so often that, eventually, all he ever gets cast as is that same sort of role. In the case of But I Play One On TV, the actor is so identified with the role he plays that, when people see him walking around town, or actually bump into him and manage to talk to him, the fans refer to him by the name of the character he plays. It isn't uncommon, for example, for an actor who plays a doctor to be asked to dispense medical advice by a fan he meets on the street. This problem is often exacerbated by tabloid news sources, especially gossip magazines and "news programs" that concentrate on celebrity and entertainment, who in their stories are constantly referring to actors by their characters' names rather than the proper name of the actor. This is generally an editorial decision, as it can make it easier for the audience to identify the actors involved, but at the same time contributes to blurring the line between fiction and reality in viewers' minds. Most Soap Opera actors say that this happens to them so often that they've become used to just going along with it. This trope is the measure Hispanic Soap Opera actors use to know how well they are doing in the role and how well the soap is going. It gets interesting when the actor is playing As Himself or Adam Westing. In those cases the line between fiction and reality becomes a bit blurry, and people can be forgiven for thinking they're the same in real life as on the screen if it's not specifically stated that they're playing a caricature of themselves. Distinguish: I Am Not Spock, which refers to an actor who's unable to get any part other than the character for which he or she is known. I Am Not Shazam, which refers to the confusion of a character with the title of a work or with the character's catchphrase. A Sub-Trope of Cannot Tell Fiction from Reality. See Actor/Role Confusion for the In-Universe version. Not to be confused with I'm Not a Doctor, but I Play One on TV. |

The Adventures of Superman star George Reeves had it much rougher than Christopher Reeve, as his younger fans would often try to test his invulnerability. The worst case was when a boy brought his father's gun to a set to see if Superman was really bulletproof. Reeves convinced him to hand over the gun saying that the bullet would bounce off and hurt somebody else. (The incident was depicted in the biopic Hollywoodland, where he's played by Ben Affleck.) When he appeared on I Love Lucy, Reeves was only referred to as "Superman" so as not to break the illusion of younger viewers. Basically, to enforce this trope. | |

Franz Xaver Kroetz who played gossip reporter "Baby Schimmerlos" in the German series Kir Royal was asked by some newspapers to write columns for them and did so - despite the fact that he had no experience with this kind of writing and the result was... meager. Though Kroetz was an already a renowned playwright, they just overestimated his ability to write for them. | |

In a weird reversed example, Star Trek's Grace Lee Whitney states in her autobiography that she sometime has difficulty differentiating reality and fantasy. For example, she recalls being disillusioned when she filmed an episode of the Western TV series Bat Masterson and saw Gene Barry wincing in pain after stubbing his toe, despite the fact that any injury he sustained while in-character was Only a Flesh Wound. She also apparently tended to get so into roles that she started to forget it was fake. A therapist even told her that part of the reason she was so upset about being written out of Star Trek was because she had difficulty separating herself from Yeoman Rand. | |

Infotainment shows constantly referred to the star of Grey's Anatomy as "Doctor McDreamy". Hey, you... yes, you the guy at Entertainment Tonight! He's got a name. It's Patrick Dempsey! He's only been a fairly well-known actor now for the last 20 years or so. I think you mean Doctor Patrick Dempsey. Not That Kind of Doctor, though. |

Harry Potter: Fiona Shaw and Richard Griffiths (who played Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon, respectively) have noted that small children are sometimes scared when they see them. Shaw mentioned that one little boy was even reduced to tears. Tom Felton (a.k.a. Draco Malfoy) has noted that when younger children meet him, they tend to be afraid: "We get a lot of kids down in the studios all the time and are very excited to meet Daniel, Rupert and Emma, and they get the handshakes and the hugs! I try to be as friendly as I can, but no matter how much I try they seem to hide behind their parents legs or cower behind some object. I don’t get a good rap from the children! I take it as a compliment, if they think I’m evil then I must be doing something right!" However, there was also a bizarre incident with a not-quite-so-young fan. An American man legally changed his name to "Lucius Malfoy" and sent Felton paperwork which would allow him to disown his parents and be adopted by "Lucius", who had additionally named his house "Malfoy Manor". Maggie Smith has apparently frequently explained to young children that she can't really turn into a cat. Mark Williams (Arthur Weasley) "went out with the twins and Rupert, and we went out for a curry and a pint, that was hilarious. There were a load of teenagers with their phones, really polite, going, 'Can we take a picture of you?' to the guys. And one girl turned to me and said, 'And your dad.'" Though, if you think about it, it's probably the least embarrassing way to address an actor whose name you've forgotten or even never really knew at all. |

For the actors who play the parts of criminals in America's Most Wanted's re-enactments, this was apparently a recurring problem as tipsters would frequently call the police to report seeing the actors instead of the actual crooks. Apparently a couple have had to have special cards assigned to show police because it happened so frequently. | |

During the actors boot camp for Band of Brothers, Neal McDonough's weapon went off and he suffered damage to his face. He went to Shane Taylor, expecting him to stitch it up since he was playing the medic Doc Roe. Taylor did so and, not surprisingly, the wound got infected and McDonough had to be taken to a hospital. | |

RuPaul's Drag Race is mixed on this trope. While the Drag Queen contestants are real people, the show relies on Manipulative Editing just as much as any other Reality Show, resulting in many queens being given the "bitch edit" even if that's not their normal personality. It also doesn't help that many queens have admitted to playing a character on the show to try to make themselves more memorable, only to have it backfire and hurt their careers if the character they created wasn't very likable. But where this really harms the queens is when unhinged fans send them hatemail and death threat all because of how they acted on the show. Even queens who legitimately don't like each other have defended each other from online abuse. | |

In Growing Up Brady, Barry Williams tells how Susan Olsen was ostracized by her peers, practically overnight, after the premiere of The Brady Bunch episode "The Tattle-Tale". It did no good, she says, to protest their treatment of her by yelling "I'm not Cindy! I'm not a tattle-tale!" The whole situation inspired in her a deep loathing for Cindy Brady. | |

Game of Thrones: Some people confuse Jack Gleeson for the detestable King Joffrey, Worst of His Name, sometimes even to the point of harassment. Gleeson himself is the epitome of Mean Character, Nice Actor, and George R. R. Martin once said to him, "Congratulations on your marvelous performance, everyone hates you!" This trope is largely the reason why Gleeson has quit screen acting in favor of the stage in his native Ireland. Lena Headey, who portrays Cersei Lannister, recalls in some interviews that some people call her a bitch to her face because they found her character so unlikeable. |

Doctor Who: Anneke Wills, who played the First/Second Doctor companion Polly, says she only realized what she was really a part of when a little girl came up to her and asked her what it was like living inside the TARDIS and if she was scared of the Cybermen. Children used to come up to Tom Baker and ask him if he enjoyed travelling in time and could they come with him. (Apparently he used to play along with it rather than traumatize a young mind.) He also has said in interviews that once in a while men would try to pick fights with him, to show they were tougher than The Doctor, and he would have to talk them out of it. Baker has also reported that when he goes to hospital, the (real, medical) doctors like to pretend they're working with the Doctor and ask him to explain things, and he plays along by coming up with gibberish Technobabble. At Comic Con in 2012, a little girl once asked Matt Smith if he was scared of the Weeping Angels. Smith, perhaps taking a leaf from Baker's book above, countered by asking if she was scared of the Weeping Angels. When the little girl nodded, Smith promptly told her not to worry, because he'd fight them off. He then went on to say that while the Weeping Angels were scary to him, they were also his favorite monsters in the show. |

In a guest appearance on The Tonight Show, Jason Hervey, who played Kevin's bullying older brother on The Wonder Years, said that a man once drove up beside him and demanded to know why "he" was always so mean to his brother and why didn't he pick on someone his own size? Another Wonder Years cast member, Alley Mills (Kevin's mother Norma), also a Tonight Show guest, said that a fan once asked her whether she was related to Jay Leno. When Mills asked what she meant, the fan explained, "Well, you're Kevin's mother, and Kevin looks like a young Leno, so..." |

Michael O'Hare, who played Commander Jeffrey Sinclair for one season of Babylon 5, left the series because he began experiencing severe paranoid delusions and would be antagonistic towards other actors because of their characters' actions. He was written out of the show at his own request because he didn't want his mental illness to affect everybody's jobs. Aside from a handful of guest roles on other shows, and one return appearance on Babylon 5 to finish his character's arc, he withdrew from acting. It wasn't until after O'Hare's death that JMS (per O'Hare's request) made his mental illness publicly known and talked about the real reason behind his departure from the show. | |
