A place I didn't go into in the rambly post, but god yes. The only actor I'd ever trust is my mate, Hoshi, but I know her and have known her from since before she wanted to be an actor.
Otherwise, trust none of them.
Lying, like most things, has two sides and actors can harness both and that makes them rather powerful. Though, I have heard the arguement that it's not so much lying as just being someone completely different, but that's for the really awesome actors who, on some level, become their subjects. But I'd be afraid for such an actor- having that many full people in their head.

That's interesting. I'm not making a comment on your relationship (I don't even know the guy), but don't we all act a bit? Editing our behavior to appease the masses?
