He is an actor, that is his job. How is it his fault that people are not capable of differentiating the role from the person?
Never said that was his fault, but he did chose to portray a living person. There is repercussions to that sometimes. He had other good points in his comments but to try to dissociate from your most influential role is silly IMO. The public perceives him to be "from the Facebook movie", whether he likes it or not.
But you are implying it or what else does it mean when you say, that because of his actions people treat him unfairly?
Sounds like victim-blaming.
He's a victim for checks notes getting paid millions of dollars to play in a movie.
That is obviously another topic.
Not really. He wants to not be associated with his old role, but he became famous because of that role. It is almost impossible to separate the two for they are so entwined.
He doesn't want to be seen as zuck, which is fair, but he is seen as zuck, at least superficially. Not sure how that makes him a victim that some people associate him with his most famous role? Is Rainn Wilson a victim cause people only refer to him as Dwight when they see him on the street?
