What is an Actor?
An Actor is a specialized type of Performer. Also known as: Dramatic Character, Dramatic Performer, Dramatic Artist, Actress.

An actor is someone who plays a character in film, television, radio, or theatre productions. When most people think of actors they think of Hollywood actors who perform in blockbuster films, and this is often the ultimate aspiration of anyone dreaming of a career in acting. It is difficult to achieve a high level of success in the field of acting; the majority of actors perform in smaller productions, often starting out in advertisements or as extras on television shows or films.

There are many actors who make a successful career out of so-called bit parts, and never have a starring role. Others who achieve great success very early on in their careers, become household names, and get many major roles. The majority of actors will have a career that is somewhere in-between these two extremes.
