William Shakespeare was a member of the acting company The Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as The King's Men. It is known that he acted in Jonson's Sejanus and Every Man in His Humour, although it is not known in what part. John Davies, writing in 1610 in his book The Scourge of Folly says that "Will Shakespeare" played "kingly parts". Shakespeare is listed among the actors who played in his own plays in the First Folio.

There are anecdotes that suggest that Shakespeare played the Ghost in Hamlet and Adam in As You Like It. They may or may not be true.
