The Sopranos: Was that acting?

According to the credits he plays himself in the Season-2 Sopranos episode "The D-Girl". But wasn't he really acting in character? The scene with Michael Imperioli where they fight over the gun...that was pretty intense. So it makes me wonder, was that Jon Fav playing himself? Or was that Jon Fav playing a character? And if he was, WHO was he playing?

I can't pretend to know what movie directors are like, but it kinda seems like by this point their egos (even the nicer people) are inflated to the point of "This is MY movie, You don't give ME script changes, I give them to YOU!"

I just kinda imagine all the more ego-inflated directors would be more like that, and not so keen on being given outside suggestionhire people smarter than you...is a saying.
