Do you think actors are really like the characters they play??

Question

For instance when an actor /actress plays a bad character in a T.V. show do you think that they are really like that in real life? I watch The pretender and I can just see mr. rains as the crotchety evil old bad guy in real life.

I doubt it - they play a character - that's not real life
