No, I wouldn't equate an actor playing a role in a movie or play to a guy who likes to play "dress up" as a Nazi for years at a stretch. If you're career trajectory is to go into politics, it's probably best to steer clear of that kind of thing. But if Iott had been dressed up as part of a "Sound of Music" revival, there would be no scandal.
