For one, "Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze", in which Fred Ott sneezes, is one of Ott's two acting credits. The other one involves doing something on one of Edison's test recordings, too. If you can't count those, you can't rightly call Ott an actor. Ergo, the question's bunk.

For two, the man friggin' sneezes on, like, the first film ever. Give him some credit.

I'd like to run it by UVA and see what they think. When I actually did this full-time, OOB was my Bible. I bet they're looking for actor-actor connections, and not actor-director or actor-producer. Considering Ott's alone in the films he's in, that would make things kind of difficult.
