Actors choose to play people who are already assholes. They don't feel the need to say they don't agree the values of super sadistic mass murderer number 5. This guy did a dramatized documentary film and is now clarifying he doesn't like the original person's values, just acting. It should be unnecessary, but he feels he needs to clarify. A role doesn't equal they admire the character. He's clarifying for people like you who assume it does.

What? Of course the role and actor are separate. But if he doesn't want to be associated with his previous roles then he should go back in time and not portray the guy he doesn't want to be associated with. If he can't do that, then he has to live with the association and make the most of it, like he is trying to do with the rest of his comments about Zuckerberg.
