English term or phrase: in his role playing

Simon Jr was a man very different from his father and very like him. Like in the color of his skin, like in his love of the country; like in his high intelligence, openly evident, though, never hidden as Simon Sr's always was until he began to be sure that you took the same pleasure in his role-playing as he did. Unlike because he was a man of a different time, faced a different world.

Explanation:
(στο) να παίζει ρόλους
(στην) ικανότητά του για εναλλαγή ρόλων/χαρακτήρων/αντιδράσεων/ στάσης ανάλογα με τις καταστάσεις
(στην) ηθοποιία του
(στην) υποκριτική του ικανότητα

Δηλαδή ο Simon Sr πάντα κρυβόταν και δεν άνοιγε τα χαρτιά του αν δεν διαπίστωνε πως κι εσύ που ήσουν απέναντί του απολάμβανες την ικανότητά του να αλλάζει ρόλους καταπώς η ανάγκη το καλούσε κάθε φορά.

το τέχνασμά του / την επινόησή του

Explanation:
I think in this context, the phrase "in his role-playing" should mean "τένασμα, επινόημα, κόλπο, επιδεξιότητα, πανουργιά".

Here is the whole sentence as I understand it:

"... η υπέρμετρη εξυπνάδα του, αντιληπτή απ' όλους, και όχι όπως αυτή του Simon του πρεσβύτερου, που έμενε πάντα (κρυμμένη) στο περιθώριο μέχρι τη στιγμή που αντιλαμβανόταν ότι κάποιος επιβράβευε το τέχνασμά του".

I've given you more words just for you to have alternatives. I think the word "τέχνασμα" is best fit in your context.
