Appreciate
Is this sentence correct:
1) I appreciate him as an writer, but I don't know what kind of a person he is.
meaning:
I think he is a good writer, but....
Can I say: 'I appreciate an actor' if I like him as an actor and like his work?
Gratefully,

I appreciate him as a writer, but I don't know what kind of a person he is. This is perfectly grammatical and acceptable. You can also leave it simply as, "I appreciate him as a writer," and most people will understand what you mean-- that you appreciate him as a writer and you don't have much more of an opinion on him beyond that.
