He believed the actor would inevitably break with the text and so, in his most famous play, "Six Characters in Search of an Author", he has them reject their script and question their existence. Luigi Pirandello did shit like this in his exhausting, wall-breaking, self-referential stuff. He's responding to Ronnie's revelation that Jim has let him read the entire script while only letting Cliff read certain scenes. Near the end of Jim Jarmusch's The Dead Don't Die, Centerville police chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray)-probably named after legendary everyman actor Cliff Robertson just because-intones to his deputy Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver)-probably named after legendary Formula 1 driver Ronnie Peterson just because-that Jim Jarmusch is a dick.
