I'd say he's made his peace with the inevitability of it, anyway, and understands the mindset. This is a guy who imagines for a living, after all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is a guy who imagines for a living, after all.
Which might imply that most actors would be in the same place and I think that is not a conclusion one can safely draw.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
No, I wouldn't suppose that!
Some actors really do see "the guy up there on the screen" as being completely separate from themselves, and then go beyond that and realize their public personas in fan minds is also as artificial a creation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Some do, some don't, some'll have made peace with it, some won't.
But I don't think imagining for a living is tied causally to it.

I think you would be more likely to have to consider the issue, but then I'm skewed towards the "imagining for a living" experience.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Apparently the latest big deal is that someone shoved a Theban Band Merry/Pippin photomanip into the faces of Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd.
This fandom scares the fuck out of me.

Like Bill said, if this brings anything down on the head of the Theban Band, I will be one pissed-off girl.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
For the love of Mike.

Why would anyone do that? Why? I just - my mind is so far over the horizon into Boggleville that it may never be seen again. This I just do not get.
....nope, still boggled.
You know, I'm actually still fairly squicked by cut'n'paste photomanips as a concept. Which I can't account for, really, because logically it's not that different from appropriating an image and giving it suggestive text to accompany it. Or from writing the hot fictional character sex, or any form of RPF, sexual or otherwise. It's all boundary crossing of one sort or another. But the cut'n'paste faces onto shagging bodies - I do find this messes with my comfort zones. Even though I can appreciate the artistry and hotness.
None of which has any bearing on the breathtaking stupidity & rudeness of showing somebody photomanips of themselves having The Sex. I mean - hello? Earth to crazy-ass fan?
