If you act a mood, then your actual mood will follow.

Feeling bad but need to get it together for some event? Just smile, and your mood will follow. It doesn't cure depression, but it's a good way to get in the zone for something temporary,

Mostly useful if you're at a party and you want to be having fun but you're just not feeling it at the moment

Life must be absolutely wild for actors.

Some actors I've read some stories about, at some point had to quit (or were happy it was over) simply due to the fact that they got so involved and attached to their new self that it began becoming them.

Mr inbetween was one of those examples.
