 * Delete. It seems SoP to me. At least and  are used with as ("in the role of") with the same meaning as in the definition of act as. Many specific action verbs can also be used with as, eg, "Fred ran as anchor in the relay.". The alternative construction act to [verb] has just about the same meaning of act as well.
 * "Role" in the definition of as should be either replaced or supplemented by a word that included functions that are not "roles", such as those typically served by inanimate things: "[The coffee table|George] acted as doorstop." DCDuring TALK 11:41, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Compare serve as, function as (both above) work as. Usual meaning of act, usual meaning of as. Renard Migrant (talk) 11:44, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
