Episode 4

Actor (役者) is the fourth episode of Oshi no Ko anime adaptation.

Summary
After observing the set, Aqua plans to use it to create a perfect scene. As filming resumes, Kana reflects on her life so far. With her role as the show's heroine, she desires to make the show as good as possible and hopes to recreate the manga's most famous scene with her co-star. However, Melt's performance is hopelessly terrible, to Kana's dismay. Aqua then appears and sets the scene's tone by taking advantage of the placement of the set's surroundings and aggravating Melt to get a good performance out of him.

Ad-libbing the scene, Aqua is able to recapture the manga's scene and allow Kana to act to her fullest. After the filming, Melt apologizes for hitting Aqua for punching him, but Aqua reveals that he did what he did to ensure both actors could act. Meanwhile, the director finds the scene to be a good one, despite Aqua's interference. While filming the final scene, Kana realizes she has fallen for Aqua.

At the apartment of Yoriko Kichijouji, the mangaka of Sweet Today, her assistants come over to help with her manga. While Yoriko watches the Sweet Today drama, her assistants bemoan the adaptation, while she already begrudgingly accepted the show's quality. However, after watching Kana's performance in the final episode, Yoriko tears up and is grateful that her manga got the adaptation. As for the fans of the original manga and the actors, the finale was well-received and garnered fervent praise.

At the show's afterparty, Kana and Aqua chat, and Kana learns that he does not have a girlfriend. Yoriko approaches Kana and thanks her for her performance in the show, bringing Kana to tears. Aqua gets approached by Masaya, who is impressed by Aqua's performance. In Aqua's thoughts, he reveals that after performing the DNA test, he confirmed that he and Masaya were not relatives. Masaya remarks that Aqua looks similar to Ai, having seen her up close. Aqua asks Masaya what his relationship with Ai was, and the producer reveals that he not only worked with her and gave her jobs but recommended places where she could meet up with a man without her agency knowing. Aqua asks who the man is, and Masaya agrees to tell him if he appears in a reality dating show.

For their first day at Yoto High School, Aqua and Ruby attend the entrance ceremony, and afterward, Kana formally introduces them to the entertainment-filled world they will be entering. Ruby nervously enters her class and is amazed by the attractive people around her. She then befriends Minami Kotobuki, a gravure model. She introduces her to Aqua, who, unlike her, has not made any friends yet. Ruby then tells him about Frill Shiranui, a popular and multi-talented entertainer in her class. Seeing her nearby, Aqua approaches Frill and asks her to be friends with Ruby. Frill recognizes Aqua from Sweet Today and Minami from a magazine cover, but Ruby gets embarrassed when she has no jobs to tell Frill about.

After school, Ruby begs Miyako to make her an idol, fearing she will get bullied by her classmates for her lack of an entertainment career. However, Miyako has trouble putting the idol group together and finding members. Ruby tries recommending Minami, but Miyako refuses to get into trouble with another agency, preferring to have a freelancer join them instead. Hearing this, Aqua recommends Kana to them.
