Shakespeare began his career in the London theatre as an actor. We can be reasonably certain of this because a critic of his first play, Robert Greene, wrote a highly unfavourable review in which he stated that it was presumptuous of a "mere actor" to write a play. Shakespeare's name appears in the cast lists of the Chamberlain's Men acting company. However, there are notes stating he appeared in his own work but which is not defined

Hamlet

Is the play written by Shakespeare Hamlet a silent play?
No. Most of the characters in the play have speaking parts, although there are Lords, guardsmen and others mentioned in the stage directions who do not speak. However, as part of the play-within-a-play, Shakespeare wrote a prologue to the play called a "dumb-show" which is in fact a "silent play"--the actors do not speak. So in that sense a part of Hamlet is indeed a silent play.

Did William Shakespeare ever play a part in one of his own play scripts?
Yes. The first Folio lists a number of actors who played in Shakespeare's plays, and Shakespeare himself is at the top of the list.
What parts did the actors in Shakespeare's play?
This question makes no sense. If you mean "What parts did the actors in Shakespeare's company play?", the actors in Shakespeare's company played the parts assigned to them. "You, Will Kemp, will play Falstaff and you, John Sincklo, will play Poins." We do not know exactly which parts in the plays played by Shakespeare's company were played by which actors, with a few exceptions. We know, for example, that Will Kemp played the part of Peter in Romeo and Juliet. We can guess that he played Falstaff too.If you mean, "What parts did the actors in Shakespeare's play play?", there are a few plays in which there are actors as characters in the play, notably Hamlet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Love's Labour's Lost. In Hamlet, the Player King plays the king and the Player Queen plays the queen and one of the other actors plays Lucianus. In Midsummer Night's Dream, Bottom plays Pyramus, Flute plays Thisbe, Snout plays Wall, Starveling plays Moonshine, and Snug plays the Lion. And of course Will Kemp would have played Bottom, who was playing Pyramus.
Why is there a play inside a play in a midsummers nights dream?
Having a bunch of amateur actors put on a play as a part of Shakespeare's play allowed Shakespeare to make fun of inept playwrights and actors which helped the audience appreciate the skill of Shakespeare and his fellow actors.
How were Shakespeare's actors chosen?
All acting companies in Shakespeare's day had a permanent roster of players. Shakespeare did not write a play and then choose the actors for it; he had the actors and wrote the play for them. It is possible to see the difference between the parts written for Will Kempe when he was the company funnyman and the parts written for Robert Armin when he replaced Kempe.
What play did shakespeare write with joan of arc in it?
Henry VI Part 1
Who is Prince Hal in Shakespeare?
