Irony

Interestingly, what you see might not be what you get. Under the façade of all lovely and goody, it's another contrasting scene.

Actors.. You may not realize but they are many budding actors around you. Note: their professions may or may not be in arts& entertainment/ theatrical arena, yet some of them are good actors.

Puzzled? Infer from the origin of the word "actor" (extracted from wikipedia):
An actor, actress, player or rarely thespian (see terminology) is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity. The ancient Greek word for an actor, hypokrites, when rendered as a verb means "to interpret";[1] in this sense, an actor is one who interprets a dramatic character.

Yet "hypokrites" holds another meaning. So putting both together, oh well… life's irony.
