Hi
I think it must be (A). I don't like (B) at all, although I'm not saying that, in language, it is wrong
To be honest, it all sounds a little disrespectful - like - I used to do drugs when I was a teenager
If the writer means it in that negative way, then either is OK. Otherwise, something like:
- I used to act in theatre when I was younger

- I don't remember him as acting in theatre
- No, he mostly acted in films
