not that I know of...it's generally a means to prepare "before" you go for the interview. Role playing is like you would sit with a friend and they would be the interviewer and you would be the applicant and you test out what you would say if it were a real interview. You ask each other questions, make responses, and see if that's what you really want to say to the prospective employer. You prepare and make good what you want to say, like preparing for a speech.

Role play is not usually a part of the interview. However, conducting role play PRIOR to your interview will help you practice. Practice makes perfect.

As an interviewer I favour situational or experiential questions to role play, these are similar but allow people to use experience they already have.
For example:
A part of this job involves dealing with customers, can you tell me about a time that you dealt with a difficult customer.
or
How would you deal with a difficult customer, please give an example of this.
In my experience this is the type of question that is used in admin.

No, not at all. Interviewers mostly look to see if you will fit in with the existing team, and if you have good leadership qualities.
