WTF. Actor who has been playing Jason Bourne and been in Good Will hunting now is now expert?
No, I think the OP was more balking at the idea that an actor "must" know about the covert world. He may well do, but it isn't an immediate assumption just because he played a spy guy.

It is not like he's got a PhD in the history of surveillence, but he's going to be better educated on the topic than joe random citizen. After all, at the very least he's spent a fair amount of time thinking about the details of his roles and in this case those details have a lot of overlap with the current situation.
