What line from Act III of Hamlet supports the conclusion that Shakespeare is critical of actors?

for in the very torrent, tempest, and—as I may say—whirlwind of passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance, that may give it smoothness

it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters

but let your own discretion be your tutor: suit the action to the word, the word to the action; with this special observance

And let those that play your clowns speak no more than is set down for them
