I'm afraid I have to point out that Leiber did not write "The Darfstellar" ---
Walter M. Miller, Jr. did. However, Leiber *has* written some drama-oriented
short stories. Also, if you pay attention while reading THE BIG TIME, you might
notice that it reads as if it were intended to be a stage play.
	As to whether Fritz the Writer is Fritz the Actor: others have pointed
out that Leiber Sr. is the actor and Leiber Jr. is the writer. This is certainly
the case. It should be mentioned, however, that Leiber Jr. *has* done some small
amount of acting, though it was not his career as it was his father's.
	Now, if one *really* paid attention to film credits on old movies, one
may someday notice sf writer/fan Wilson (Bob) Tucker's name pop up as a lighting
engineer. Forry Ackerman also tends to pop up in cameos in assorted sf/horror
movies.
