He actually wrote plays. He didn't do the acting. Actually no, he did do the acting, and was well known for it, but it is believed that his playwriting activities kept him from taking on really strenuous roles. Unfortunately we do not know from contemporary sources exacly which roles he played.

Why did he do it? It was his job. That's how he made his money--running a theatre (along with a bunch of other guys).
