Actors don't merely "act like" someone; they "act out" a role.
I don't see a concise way to define that concept in Klingon.
{vay' Dabogh vangwI'} perhaps, with {vangwI'} for short?

A "play" is a story which is watched as opposed to being read,
so I suggest {lut bejlu'bogh}, though that could apply to a
movie or TV show also.  {yej pa'Daq lut bejlu'bogh} for a play
presented in an auditorium, {HaStaDaq lut bejlu'bogh} for TV or
a video, and {HaSta'a'Daq lut bejlu'bogh} for a movie viewed in
a theatre?
