See Weimann (1978, 2); see also Csapo and Slater, who offer translations of classical source material using the term ''hypocrisis'' ( acting) (1994, 257, 265–267). The actor's interpretation of a rolethe art of actingpertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character.

Trigger Law
A trigger law is a law that is unenforceable but may achieve enforceability if a key change in circumstances occurs. United States Abortion In the United States, thirteen states, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, enacted trigger laws that would automatically ban (medically unnecessary) abortion in the first and second trimesters if the landmark case ''Roe v. Wade'' were overturned. As ''Roe v. Wade'' was overturned on June 24, 2022, some of these laws are now in effect, and presumably enforceable. Other states' trigger laws will take effect 30 days after the overturn date, and others take effect upon certification by either the governor or attorney general. Illinois formerly had a trigger law (enacted in 1975) but repealed it in 2017. Nine states, among them Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, as well as the already mentioned Arkansas, Mississippi, Okla ...
