Veering away from the "play" parallel, the unique thing about role playing games is that there is not a defined written scrip to be performed by the actors. The real funny aspect of playing these games is that you don't simply memorize lines and barf them mindlessly in stage (not that real actors do only that), you have an idea of who your character is and then you have to improvise, because you don't know what the other actor is going to do and vice-versa. You have to be prepared to do so and, more importantly, to be able to react to the unexpected.

You can't build your character around preconceptions of how the other characters should react to it. You have control only of yourself. The responsibility of portraying your character in enough depth that the others have enough information to really understand what yours is about is yours alone. Maybe the other guy is playing someone with an ill intent, some jerk, someone corrupt, you never really know. The only thing you've got to base your play in is reactions. The time you start interpreting someone else's role for them, you have left yours unattended.
