The Greek word translated hypocrite basically refers to actors playing a role
working from a screenplay and/or a script on stage and screen.
We don't mind the folks who do that for a living when they're making our favorite
movies and whatnot because they aren't trying to leave us with a false impression
about themselves. For example Johnny Depp does an excellent job portraying a
buccaneer in Pirates Of The Caribbean but Johnny would be the first to assure us
he's not a pirate in real life; though his dialogue and his mannerisms are very
convincing.
The bad hypocrites are those who put on a front to conceal who they really are
behind the facade, viz: a phony, e.g. virtue posturing.
