An actor or actress (see terminology) is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity. The ancient Greek word for an "actor," ὑποκριτής (hypokrites), means literally "one who interprets"; in this sense, an actor is one who interprets a dramatic character.

What is truly the best way to become a successful actor? What steps should you take?
Q. By actor I mean large roles in television/movies. I know I have the look and talent (though I've never been in "acting school" or performing groups), and I will soon have the money needed to move to LA/NY if necessary. But where do I start? How can I get an agent that works with the "big guys"? And should I model first to get my foot in the door? Because I have been contacted by IMG/FORD for modeling, but my dream is to be an actual actor.

A. One of the words I'm sure you've already heard is "exposure". Modeling serves two purposes. Making money and being seen under the best circumstances. I'm sure you also know the importance of getting a good agent. They are privy to contacts you can only think about. If you are set on being a serious actor, New York is the best place to live. There are many,many places to be seen and also to make personal contacts. Get involved in some small theatres for on the job experience.

How about some tributes to that great actor and man Paul Newman who passed away today?
Q. He was that very rare person, as good a man as he was a great actor. Just knowing about his salad dressings would be enough. Do you know how much money the profits from the sale of those dressings made for good causes? The statement above was directed at Mr Misery; Thuddie.

A. I remember a quote of his : I don't want to die a failure because my eyes turned brown. He wanted to be known as a good actor, not just for his beautiful blue eyes and aquiline nose. He gave away millione of dollars to charity. He was a good man.

Quotes on Acting.

Arranged alphabetically by author.

Sourced

  • For an actress to be a success she must have the face of Venus, the brains of Minerva, the grace of Terpsichore, the memory of Macaulay, the figure of Juno, and the hide of a rhinoceros.
    • Ethel Barrymore quoted in George Jean Nathan's The Theatre in the fifties
  • ACTOR: A professional exhibitionist who manufactures emotions in a manner convincing enough to earn a living, generally by reciting the daily specials to restaurant patrons.
    • Rick Bayan, The Cynic's Dictionary
  • It's not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.
  • For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.
  • An actor's a guy, who if you ain't talking about him, ain't listening.
  • Acting is the expression of a neurotic impulse. It's a bum's life. Quitting acting, that's the sign of maturity.
    • Marlon Brando, Halliwell's Filmgoer's and Video Viewer's Companion
  • Acting is the least mysterious of all crafts. Whenever we want something from somebody or when we want to hide something or pretend, we're acting. Most people do it all day long.
