There are only a few references to Shakespeare as an actor, enough to convince us that he must have been one, but not enough to tell us much about his career. He played in two of Ben Jonson's plays. A contemporary, John Davies of Hereford, said in 1610 that Shakespeare "plaid some kingly parts" and about a hundred years later a man called Rowe said that he played the Ghost in Hamlet, and that this was a famous role. Maybe he played that part, but he was not famous enough for it for anyone to mention it at the time.
