I am not the person who started using {Da} for acting, mime, playing roles.  I
don't know who started using {Da} this way, but I recall seeing it several
times.

As to interpretations of TKD glosses, we are doing our best "individual"
interpretations until MO uses the words in sentences.  I often feel some the
so-called experts of KLI have some truly weird interpretations.
