Did Jesus act out His parables?
score:2
There is no indication in Catholic teaching that Our Lord "acted out" any of his parables. The Catholic Encyclopedia is completely mute on this subject.
The closest one can find is the Gospels that is even remotely connected and it would be extremely stretching the limit of acting to say the least because it was not even a parable. Our Lord once wrote in the sand when the woman was caught in adultery.
They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” (John 8: 6-8)

We don't see Jesus "acting" (physically moving to) his parables. Instead what is shown in scriptures is the vast relationship between every-day life and the parables. They depicted the message to be practiced "every-day". There are many categories for parables, specially the agricultural ones. Many people rejected his messages so he explained his messages through parables like Isaiah prophesied (John 12:38)
