Many actors are attracted to roles in which they must play characters very different from themselves. This is not an example of hypocrisy, but an example of an actor being true to his craft.

So it would be cool for an anti-drug person to shoot up heroin on screen, or a devout atheist to play a preist? I get what you're saying it's just acting, but it's sad that someone is making a living off something they are against. 

Yes.  It would absolutely be ok.  Unless the movie is a blatant endorsement of drugs or something.

Morgan Freeman played god in Bruce Almighty despite being an atheist.  It's not hypocritical, because that movie was not about how you should worship god.  Now, if Morgan Freeman was in the passion of the christ, that may have been different.
