Do vegetarian actors eat meat if the scene and their character requires it?
Actors are professionals. They get into character and do their jobs. Straight actors play gay characters. Gay actors play straight characters. Good-hearted actors play psychopathic characters, etc. The point is that acting is their job and they do what is required to get into character. But I always wonder whether vegetarian actors would refuse to eat meat even if a scene or their character requires that they eat a hamburger or chicken wing?
I don’t think any actors eat meat on stage. It just wouldn’t be safe sitting under those hot stage lights. I’m not an actor, but most of what you see on stage or in the movies is just an illusion.
