Who play in Shakespeare's roles and why?
Actors inevitably play the roles in Shakespeare's plays, although some roles nowadays are played by actresses. Sometimes these are professional actors who earn their money this way, and sometimes they are amateurs who have a different day job.

Probably not. All of the roles he played that we know of were men. It was said by a contemporary that he "favoured kingly roles", not queenly ones. The actors who did female impersonation were generally specialists at that art, but Shakespeare was not one of them.

What role did Shakespeare play in his plays?
We don't have much information about which roles which actors played in Shakespeare's day. Sometimes the printed copy of a play gives the name of the actor instead of the character, which helps. In one of the quartos of Romeo and Juliet the lines for Peter are marked as being for "Kemp" which tells us that Will Kempe played Peter. Unfortunately, we have no such slipup to help us with Shakespeare's roles. There is a legend that he played the Ghost in Hamlet. A contemporary said that Shakespeare favoured "kingly roles".
