I remember soap opera stars talking about how they'd get hate mail for the shit their character did on the show.

Meanwhile I'm pretty sure if I ever saw some actors I'd be like "Wow you were amazing in X, I hated your character so much, you were wonderful." Or not, because I am not the kind to go up and talk to an actor.

There's and episode of Friends where the character Joey (who is an actor on a soap opera) meets a stalker fan who 1000% think he is the character he plays on the soap opera.

Crazy to think that actually happens and isn't just a sitcom subplot for laughs.

He's not Drake. He's… Hans Ramoray, Drake's evil twin!

You should read about the messages the Breaking Bad lead actress (thw wife of the main character) got. Absolutely unhinged.
