I never got Actor in the Street either. I find it an irritating song.
On the other hand, from the same album, I love Bookmark. That song has brought me to tears in the past. It is an insightful look into the world of many children I have worked with.

How can "Actor..." be overrated? Who talks up this song?

Nobody...All these songs really belong in the 'underrated' category with the possible exception of Dyslexic Heart which was pretty popular... The author makes this confusing clarification: "The songs on the overrated list aren’t necessarily genuinely overrated.." CF |

"Actor In The Street" seems pretty clear cut to me. It is about finding your true self and letting go of the poses that you used to believe were your true self. Or it could be about Keanu Reeves.

The Keanu Reeves supposition seems very plausible to me.
