Did shakespeare star in other plays besides his own?

He performed in other plays besides his own, certainly. We know he was in two plays by Ben Jonson, Sejanus and Every Man in His Humour. Also, he was not the only playwright working with the King's Men: Fletcher, Middleton and the young Webster also wrote for them. We know from Henslowe that the Chamberlain's Men performed other plays apart from Shakespeare's and Shakespeare, being a member of the company, played in all of them. But he did not star in them. He was a supporting actor, not a star.
