No, ancient Greek playwright Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) is not considered the first dramatist and the first actor.
Specifically, Sophocles' dramatic career comes after the pioneering endeavors of ancient Greek playwright Aeschylus (525/534 B.C.E. - 455/456 B.C.E.). Aeschylus is considered the father of Greek tragedy, but not of Greek plays. Nevertheless, it is his military achievements, and not one of his dramatic accomplishments, that are memorialized on his gravestone.
