Actor
About
An Actor portrays a character in a film, using their physical presence or voice. It involves researching every aspect of the character, memorizing dialogue the screenwriter has written and developing their own emotional life so it can be authentic on screen. In addition to the work required for a role, Actors must constantly audition for their next job. Should an Actor gain a level of success or notoriety, they typically will also need to be present for promotional events and media tours to market their film or other project. It’s also not unusual for an Actor to experience long stints between work while they continue to audition for roles.

Jobs Outlook
- Actors work in various settings, including production studios, theaters, and theme parks, or on location. Work assignments are usually short, ranging from 1 day to a few months.
- Employment of actors is projected to grow 3 percent over the next ten years, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Growth in the number of Internet-only platforms may lead to work for actors.
- Most actors struggle to find steady work, and few achieve recognition as stars. Some work as "extras"—actors who have no lines to deliver but are included in scenes to give a more realistic setting.
