Cognitive dissonance works as a sort of an inference to the best explanation when people behave in ways they don't understand. An actor on stage understands exactly why he acted the way he did: he's an actor, pretending to be someone else. There's no reason for cognitive dissonance to come into play.
The higher functions of the actor's mind know that, yes. Do all of the lower functions?
We know that putting our faces into the expressive configurations associated with emotional states induces those feelings in ourselves, even though people know that the expressions are completely artificial and that they have no reason to feel that way.
I suspect you're trying to create a sophisticated explanation for the behavior of some very unsophisticated cognitive modules.
