Plays himself

[cheechm]

I am writing in French about an autobiographical book which was turned into a film. The author therefore "plays himself". How would I say that in french?

Thanks

I think you need to be more clear about what you actually want translated. Do you want that whole sentence translated, verbatim? Or just the subject matter?

L'auteur se joue lui-même.

"The author plays himself" -- translated into french.

I thought it was "Le romancier joue lui-meme" but want to check.

Thanks

EDIT: didn't see lbratch's post.. Thanks!

That could work, but would suit a novel more than an autobiography.
