One of the characters in the play Hamlet is called the "First Player", which means he is an actor. He is the "first" player because he is the leader of the actors who have come to visit Elsinore.
Traditionally, he is believed to have played the Ghost. This is an old rumour, but it is totally consistent with what Shakespeare's contemporaries said: that he liked to play "kingly parts".
Hamlet will insert some dozen or fourteen lines into the play the Murder of Gonzago to make it seem more like the murder of his father.

That would be Hamlet's "To be or not to be..." soliloquy, where Hamlet contemplates suicide.
