At a certain point in human development, people started to realize that they could conjure up various stories and characters. Then some of these stories started to be acted out. Thus, the concept of The Actor was started.

"The first recorded case of a performing actor occurred in 534 BC (though the changes in calendar over the years make it hard to determine exactly) when the Greek performer Thespis stepped onto the stage at the Theatre Dionysus to become the first known person to speak words as a character in a play or story. Before Thespis' act, Grecian stories were only expressed in song, dance, and in third person narrative. In honor of Thespis, actors are commonly called Thespians. The exclusively male actors in the theatre of ancient Greece performed in three types of drama: tragedy, comedy, and the satyr play.[6] This developed and expanded considerably under the Romans." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actor#History

In "real life", an actor can indeed play many characters, but their "real life" is considered to be just a one time existence. However, as full immersion MATRIX like VR starts to become eventually commonplace, some people might start to arrive at a particular conclusion or perspective.

In The_Thirteenth_Floor, a VR participant can play and experience things from a character's perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thirteenth_Floor#Plot The movie ends with an obvious prompt to question the perceived reality that you believe that you are in.
Of course a key part of The_Matrix story is that most people don't realize that they are trapped in a digital dream that is run by Sentient AI. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix#Plot
In "real life" various actors can play several characters and be able to remember it.

Reincarnation is still a forbidden concept for many people, because of the implications. Indeed, to consider that this world might be part of an interactive cosmic recording and projection of time and space gets right into forbidden territory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om_(song)

"As we turned and went on up the Drive, he told me more about his invention.
"I call it the Chamber of Life," he said. "It's a fantastic name, but it designates precisely what my instrument is.
"You see, it's like living another life to experience an hour or two in the Chamber. You cannot possibly realize yet just what it's like. I have created a means of reproducing all the sensations that a man would have in actual living; all the sounds, the odors, the little feelings that are half-realized in daily life—everything. The Chamber takes possession of you and lives for you. You forget your name, your very existence in this world, and you are taken bodily into a fictitious land. It is like actually living the books you would read today, or the motion pictures and plays you would watch and hear.
"It is as real as life, but it moves swiftly as a dream. You seem to pass through certain things slowly and completely, in the tempo of life. Then, when the transitional moment comes, between the scenes, your sensations pass with unbelievable rapidity. The Chamber has possession of your mind. It tells you that you are doing such and such a thing, it gives you all the feeling of doing that thing, and you actually believe you are doing it. And when it snatches you away from one day and takes you into the next, it has only to make you feel that a day has passed, and it is as though you had lived through that day. You could live a lifetime in this way, in the Chamber, without spending actually more than a few hours." https://www.hotfreebooks.com/book/The-Chamber-of-Life-Green-Peyton-Wertenbaker.html
