I think, as soon as he became the actor as well, he ceased being "the messager" in the terms of solely passing on a message.
Put another way, "shoot the messenger" is a phrase used when an unbiased person, merely delivering a message of bias/harm from another, is attacked for the message.
You are not a messenger, when you perform the act/deed/thing yourself.

- NotEvil 5y agoNo, it don't. But being an actor doesn't mean an individual can't be an messanger doing something in good faith. "Dooing good, through bad methods"
